Nigger, do you even read catalogs?

I wrote a copypasta about that thing once. Wonder if anybody has it still.

>>12784

What I dont understand

>Episode 1 surplus is still around

>Episode 2 and 3 toys are hard as fuck to find and are expensive as shit

>>12784

>mistakes were made

>thanks for buying the first run lol

>here is the incrementally-improved second run

t. hasbro, also welcome to 1997

also thumbnail makes toy look like a deformed Stewie Griffon

>>12808

>Episode I is released, they expect people to buy a ton of shit like they did with the original trilogy

>a lot of the merch was incredibly poorly thought-out or possibly deliberately sabotaged by disgruntled underpaid designers (like the Jar Jar

>they don't

>expectations are scaled back by both manufacturers and retailers, meaning probably fewer made and probably fewer of those sold

idk if this is what happened but I wouldn't be surprised

>>12812

but Episode 2 and 3 had cool toys though

Jango Fett and Clones sell better than Naboo Security Guards, what's hard to understand?

I went to my local Toys R Us the day before yesterday. They're closing down and have a 40% off sale. Nothing is really selling much, but sweet fuck, nu Star Wars shit is crammed into any aisle they can fit it in. They can't sell the shit. I managed to take a few picture then. If they're still open in two days, I'll go back and take some more for a before and after shot. I suggest we all do the same and share our findings. Also, are those WCB faggots accepting pictures?

Toys in general are in a terrible slump why do you think cartoons are slice of life shit nowadays?

>>12808

They made way too much Episode 1 shit when it came out and a lot of it sat on shelves forever so they made a lot less merch for ep2 and ep3

>>12813

point I was trying to make is that Hasbro does the right thing only after all other options have been exhausted, and that it's deliberate so they can make more monis

>>12841

I think this is revisionism to make the total collapse of toy sales under Disney seem normal.

Tell me again why someone would by a Smoke plushie? A boring character that dies just like that, without any relevance to the history.

I guess even the Ice Cream Guy was more important.

>>12878

Hang on a moment

>Smoke plushie

>Snoke=smoke

>smoke monster

JJ's mystery box is also a recycling bin, it would seem. So what are the chances that Episode IX will involve a time-travel plot, in which the First Order try to travel back in time by creating a black hole, using Crimson Residue that was created by the Starkiller base?

Forces for Change has been updated to include boy characters now. It must have been a bloodbath.

Looks like a retarded stewie griffin
