Is this guy a dumbass or is he on point? Seems like he's coming to a conclusion he wants to, rather than supporting it with any actual data.

Also he knows stores restock right?

Actually, this is pretty much in line with my experience, except his stores actually have a decent amount of stock. Mine....are barren with a handful of shelfwarmers that have been there forever. For Black Series, they skipped literally every wave between wave 3 and TFA wave 1, then everything until Rogue One wave 1, then everything until a very small amount of TLJ for Force Friday. There's alot of this ancillary junk like soap bottles and Air Hogs and Fuknos though.

Funny how I see more Old Han figures with no Rey in sight within my area. I really wonder if it's less to do with a "diversity" problem and more like a ridiculous saturation of merchandise.

>Disney Infinity a failure
Only because Disney cancelled it on their own, hence stores started discounting them. This guy just likes to make sweeping statements without any actual data. Also a lot of his points are purely anecdotal.

I went into Toys R Us the other day, and they still had four Zuvios on the pegs.

My local stores barely ever see new black series waves.

It was bad before TFA, but after TFA it was JUST TFA black series shelfwarmers for a year, then TFA and R1 shelfwarmers until this force friday when they got new stuff, which went on force friday and now it's just the TFA and R1 shelfwarmers again.

It sucks.

My walmart had over a dozen zuvios last time I was there.

It might even be close to two dozen.

How is that "defending"? I'm just saying, the most likely reason why there's so much Disney Infinity (and not just "nuwars Disney Infinity) is because the whole thing was cancelled and people aren't going to suddenly buy a line that's practically dead.

I just bought this yesterday. It looks really cool but I'm so disappointed in the legs. Some fall off so easily, even a slight breeze.
Anyone know how to get the legs to stay on?

>two thirds on the video are literally just him walking around from store to store talking about figures that got shelfwarmed
>takes those particular examples as universal example that Star Wars is somehow dying as a brand
>occasional nu-/pol/ mumblings about "muh sjws", "muh disney forcing diversity"
>doesn't give out a single example of statistics or sale figures or anything else that might supplement his ramblings
>doesn't even mention the global decrease in toy sales over digital entertainment which could have at the very least backed up his case somehow
>overall quite literally just 35 minutes of a very angry and very opinionated guy with nothing to back up his opinions

Sure, you can believe his generic statements based on anecdotal evidence all you want, or you can actually look at the monetary returns.

It was. And I'm fairly sure the last star wars thread about Rey was the same guy. Gotta spam your shitty topics so people believe them/they stay relevant.

Quoted By:

going by the local experience (Taiwan's TRU flagstore), yes, there are plenty of the left over from Ep 7 and RO and even on clearance price they are too expensive.

Though I wonder if Disney noticed all that shelve warmers, the line for Ep8 is relatively very light and almost all the BS 6 inches are gone already.

You two can confuse Hasbro's sales to stores with stores' sales to customers all you like but it's not smart.
