Out of curiosity how big is each box? I recently watched Toy Guru Scott’s video on his channel where he explains why big items aren’t generally stock at retail because they take up too much space. That was his justification for the direct to consumer marketing by companies like Hasbro

It was pretty big. If I had to guess length wise it was maybe around 25 inches in height. I've seen Barbie houses and stuff that are bigger stocked at Walmart, so no reason big items wouldn't be there.

Re: Masters of the Universe Origins discussion

Does anyone know why shera is so popular in wave 3? I just saw two cases on the peg and shera is gone. This isn't the first time I have a full case minus shera.

That's kinda funny. The other day I was at a Walmart and they had 3 She-Ra's and nothing else...

That's always been my understanding. That was one of the reasons why Toy R Us going out of buisness in the US was bad because they had lots of shelf space that could be used for larger items. As I type this it makes me think that it was probably bad for us Canadians too since such products are probably not being made as much because of it.

Wait you mean Castle Greyskull for that price? That’s quite cheap by modern standards.
