In a landfill waiting to be dug and recycled into chemical resistant war suits during WWVII along with all the mountains of unsold POPS!

Depends on the seller, sometimes they just mark it down further & further and it collects dust. Some can flat out 'discard' them which means they throw them out or donate them to local thrift stores.

No such thing. Star Wars consistently sells. No, there aren't still pegs full of Constable Zuvios at Wal-Marts across the world.

>In the year 30XX supplies have gotten so low a desperate population scavanges for the slighest bit of materials between the daily nuclear detonations and the fields of burning corpses
>a scavanger finds a gold mine of precious plastics in a pile of discarded action figures in a landfill. He wonders who this toy is depicting that they would craft so many toys in his name and he thinks about all the great stories and adventures this character must have been apart of and to be loved by so many
>He brushes off dirt and grime from the plastic sleeve to reveal a name which he praises, "Thank you Jar Jar youve saved my family"

Only because they sold them for literal cents.
Shelf space holds more value than Star Wars.

My WalMarts recently found some new stock Constable Zuvios and they're back to clogging the pegs like shit.

A shame no one at LucasFilms knows how to market their shit or write a good story, since the design is actually pretty cool.

I prefer to think that the next generation of man thousands of years down the road will digg that up and think that Finn was one of our deities.

They all get tossed into a 3' by 3' hole with a sign next to it that says "Bottomless Pit." It's located somewhere outside Holcombe Kansas but I don't know the exact place.

Yeah but its always the same handful of face characters no one needs. Troopers don't tend to stick around.

>>7330144
I got so lucky that Xmas that the Shoetrooper got a sale on WM.com. Bought several just to finally have a team to join the Squad leaders.

>Dear Hasbro, you made the trooper and not the Squad leader the fucking exclusive?

I'm not american but I follow a (((youtuber))) that just to see if Stars Wars will finally fucking die and I remember one video where he walks through a store where Jyn, Hux, and Rose were being clearanced for 3 cents each.

You will still see them in WM, Target, and 5 Below because people would buy new stuff and return those same junk figures. CS doesn't know any better.

Not only in Burgerland. Here at the RIGHT side of the Pond, they took residence in their rightful place (the discount bin) less than a week after release.
