There are probably 5,000 people who want a Baron Zemo from Falcon & Winter Soldier, but Hasbro produced 20,000 of them. Repeat indefinitely for everything they make.

Before Disney, you could buy anything Marvel or George Lucas and have a good chance to sell it for a profit. After Disney, you buy anything Marvel or George Lucas, and you probably would have to give it away for next to nothing.

Has the Vintage line of SW toys ‘78-‘85 appreciate in value because of it?

@davidanttila9305

@crazyralph6386 Nope, if anything, the value has declined somewhat. Before Disney, they were pushing over 80 to over a hundred bucks. After Disney, they dropped to under 80 to 90 bucks. I got a vintage electronic Star Destroyer for under 60 bucks after Rouge one came out as proof of this.

@jamisoncowling2094 That is outright false. You can't say oh look they paid X amount of dollars for Star Wars and over this amount of time, they maid Y amount of dollars, and that means they made that money back. The way it actually breaks down is like this. When Disney bought Lucas Films, that means all that debt becomes front-loaded, and Lucas Films is automatically in the Red. On top of that, debt is the production is production cost of every movie, show, and general running and day to day operation costs of Lucas Studios. Meaning that, let's say you put the total cost to buy Lucas Films and everything Star Wars and etc. Disney has produced so far together along with the total staff , etc.. Bill's together, along with total income so far from returns of licensing and the share of ticket revenue combined. You'll find there is not an iceberg chance in Death Valley. Disney has earned back that cost Bob Igor spent in buying Lucas Films, Marvel, or FOX. If anything, Disney has massively lost money and lost so much money that during an investor call, Bob Igor was outright up and asked if Disney has earned back the money Bob Igor spent on buying Star Wars and he didn't even answer the question. To try and sweep under the carpet, the net Loss George Lucas Studios is operating at they are actively canceling the divisor with in parks and recreation to avoid shareholders knowing how much money Star Wars is bleeding from the Walt Disney Corporation. You can actually go and look up the earnings report yourself. You'll the actual income and expenses of Lucas Studios (Star Wars), Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios, and CNN are not openly shown. I know business, and when it is a success, the numbers are published, and when it is a failure, you don't see numbers. When the brand is bleeding money, it is hidden on the earnings report to try and prevent the blowback from shareholders.

maybe they should make a ghostbusters nerf gun he says after just walking past one !

As a kid I never saw Star Wars toys discounted. I remember my parents driving to other cities trying to find action figures or ships. Now you can trip over Star Wars toys anywhere…how sad.

I need to go to one of these cheap stores around here and see if they have a discount Beast Wars Megatron figure.

He was pretty much the first environmentalist. He didn't want to waste all the energy used to spin up the Death Star super laser so he had to use it somewhere.

I've said it before about SW toys in particular but this can apply to Marvels toys as well - I don't think Disney realized that it wasn't just kids that drove the sales of those toys but mainly adult collectors. When they told all the old hard core fans of those franchises to fvck off in an effort to please a very small percentage of the population, the so called 'modern audience,' they lost all those customers for their toy range. They claim that kids just don't play with toys anymore but it is actually the loss of grandparents that would buy three of each for presents: one for their collection, one for their children's collection, and one for their grandkids to play with. Then when the grandkids became adults they would get new ones to replace the old ones that they payed with. They screwed themselves out of generations of customers to pander to a very small section of the population that didn't care about those franchises to begin with and weren't going to do more than tweet how brave and modern you are but not actually consume them.

To be fair, the MCU is made to be lowest common denominator. Its purely engineered to make money with no soul being as bland and inoffensive as possible. I can recount the plot of every Avengers movie ever made because I've seen like 3 atleast movies already.

They call him Namor because his figures don't sell Na' more.

In New Zealand, the Black Panther claw launcher and that Grogu's Journey book, cost about 22 dollars (US) each! I'd say all the other stuff is similarly expensive here.

Ollie 's and Ross are going to have to build more stores for Disney surplus.

It’s actually: Namooorrrrrrrrr..rrr

The most WTF toyline I've seen in my life has to be the John Stewart Green Lantern musical instrument/walkie-talkie assortment. I first thought it might be a line designed around the whole JL, but it's nothing but John Stewart. The toys and packaging are reminiscent of what you'd find in a grocery store toy section, and could someone please explain the connection between Green Lantern and music?

Small market and the prices were too high (like everything else). They are nice, though.

Tbh im a star wars fan but i just cant bring myself to care about the high republic, disney made all the cool old republic stuff non-canon and ngl it was tons better then the high republic and didnt contradict anything disney are/were doing with star wars yet they threw it all out for no reason, im not interested in what they are replacing it with

Small Soldiers was my childhood's favorite movie. Watched the vhs and played the game to bits Couldn't get the toys anywhere in Belgium. I still would love to have them now though, but the prices oof Would love for Dinosaucers to make a return just to have collectibles of that

I should find an Ollies. Ive been wanting a og Beastwars Primal and Megatron for my collection.

Ngl I would have grabbed one of those Jet Jaguar figures.

One of my favorite lines from Small Soldiers is “You put Munition Chips in Toys?” and the last fight with them going “What kind of Moron would put military technology in Toys?”

You had Grand Moff Tarkin as a kid? That makes me feel old because back in the 70s & 80s I DIDN'T have Grand Moff Tarkin. He was my most wanted figure from 77-83 but for some odd reason they never made him. By the time they finally did make him in POTF 2 I no longer cared.

Kenner thought nobody wanted a figure of an old man. Alec Guiness was excepted as he was the only good guy character to have (and fight) with a Lightsabre.

Was at Ollie's today (Cranberry PA location) for the first time. Didn't see any Shuricopters but I did see some Ironheart shampoo bottle figures. Oh and cases upon cases of 3.75" Rey, General Leia, and whatshername from Rogue One for $3.99. Aside from the usual end caps full of Eternals and Namorrr, I saw some really weird stuff too: Young Justice and Generator Rex toys from 2010-2011. Like there were entire pegs of them too 😂 Just a really bizarre bit of retail archeology.

I swear when I was a kid it was so easy to pick out a toy from the store, nowadays kids have so many options that know one even asks for there is no demand for these toys and kids would rather play with their tablets and video games instead of toys. They should only make one of each of the prime characters and that’s it!

Small soldiers would actually be worth to go out for Black Friday then a army of namors and and Reva’s and holdos

The animated DnD figures actually scale very well with the Motu Origins line, and they're pretty well articulated and sculpted

He is not wrong though, quite a few videos exist of people opening boxes to find their brand new figures that they just bought have broken/ missing limbs. That would be a frustrating experience

Just imagine how much bunker fuel was burned to transport all this junk across the Pacific only to have it wind up in a landfill somewhere. But your gas burning car is making the weather worser! What a load of crap.

The problem is also Hasbro distribution… a lot of Star Wars figures I see rotting on the shelves are difficult to find in Europe. And toys sellers there do not even know or have this figure in their shop because Hasbro just send boxes without informing them what there is inside… 😮

$10 for M'Baku is a deal. Cheaper than i could finish the Baf for even buying the re-released figures i missed.

In a year or two when the first wave of Marvel starts winding up in landfills, Disney is 100% gonna go the Coca-Cola route and change packaging so people wouldn't identify them as easily

Also I have both girls toy and boys toys in my toy collection. Both those things I mentioned about myself does not make me less of a man. And I firmly believe that toys should not be developed or divided by gender. If a boy plays with a baby doll or a girl plays with a Hotwheels car they will grow out of it. I grew up and grew out of it when I was a kid because when I was a kid I did have a baby doll that I eventually grew up and no longer played with and that does not make me any less of a man for doing so

I think a really big issue with these toys, aside from most of them suck, is that they are still too expensive at Ollies. They might actually sell more of them if they were $5 or less. the original asking prices of those figures should not have been over $10 to begin with.

Mass produced overpriced garbage. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to make that many, especially the side characters.

seeing the beast wars reissues in this video surprised me, thous are figures built to 90s specifications with launchers and/or water guns built in
