Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Nothing is changing with Walmart and Hasbro. Don't buy into the "panic" like some places online a couple months ago when they were saying Target was dumping ML. It isn't happening. Walmart is still going to carry Hasbro, it is just that Hasbro seems to be garbage at getting product on shelves compared to Mattel and MacFarlane. Hence why we haven't seen much from GI Joe, TF, PR, SW, ML on shelves regularly compared to the other companies.
Does that mean they will carry the Collector Con exclusives? Probably not, I mean Walmart Canada has been terrible at stocking Walmart exclusives. Whether that is not stock at all, or delays that result in stock showing up much later, or limited amounts that never make it to shelves, it doesn't really matter. If anything, it is probably better to have the exclusives not come to Walmart Canada since it seems the other retail channels (GS, TRU (yuck), or fan channel) are more than willing to pick up the slack if offered.
Then of course you have the fact that Walmart Canada doesn't even partake in the Collector Con. I mean they don't do anything with it, so it seems to be a US only type of situation. Just more reason to keep your eyes open, and hope something happens up here.
