I know a toy store where they have multiple walls of toys that have been there for years, close to 3 now. They never put them on discount. Nobody ever buys them. Why would a company let product simply collect dust like this for years?

once the store buys it it's not the company's problem anymore. It's the store's issue if they don't mark down.

never understood how this shit happens
I think it is because 99% of the people who actually go through with opening a store like this are pieces of retarded shit dumpster geeks
they probably fell into some money or convinced a parent to give them a loan
they always end up going out of business

Every time I go to one of these toy stores, they almost always have Hasbro garbage like that marked up to $36.99 too. Nobody is going to buy that shit at those prices.

Surely at that point you can write them off by damaging your stock with a fake water leak or as some kind of toy bank donation.

My Walgreens has had a Black Series Finn at full price since 2015. It’s stupid.

Inside is a special Walgreens Talisman that ensures the store’s integrity, they disguise them with overpriced shelfwarmers to stop Agents of Walmart from destroying them.

One of mine had a WWE figure of Damien Sandow until last year. Full price, dude left WWE in 2016

I often wonder what weird shit they might have in boxes in the back somewhere that's never been put out because they don't move toys.

I reckon some places facilitate a little money laundering putting out unsold old stock.

nah shit just absolutely gets lost in the cracks sometimes. I work retail and a few weeks ago we got a change order from the bank that had a lot of very yellowed quarter rolls and whenever we'd crack one they'd always be a whole roll one specific state quarter from like, 2003

I think this is it, I found a Heat Claws Wolverine at Target earlier today that wasn't there before (and that wave's been clearanced out twice).

This shit always makes me mad because it's universal. Every toyshow I go to has people like this or it's at a shitty comic store.
Even worse is the people who buy up the newest shit and try to sell it for scalper prices as if I couldn't pull it up on amazon and buy it right in front of their table.

Used to be able to get great deals and cons and shows, too. Now everybody’s selling way above the deserved rate for the old toys they usually bring.
You can however still usually get discounts if you bring a girl.
