This comparison doesn't help if you don't know the volume bought per store. The dedicated space for a toyline at TRU is sometimes 10 times the shelf space at Walmart for the same line, as is the case for Marvel Legends. The fact that TRU gets this many exclusives from Hasbro is proof enough of their buying power since they are literally buying all the product destined to Canadian consumers.
