Still, with the glut of backproduct there's gotta be something they can do. It feels like at times I will take weeks between going hunting, and when I do, I feel like I'm seeing exactly the same figures at the stores, which would make me think little or nothing is being sold.

Kind of the downside to so many waves. Retailer stock probably worked much better when it was 3-4 waves a year, but then, as collectors we are left with nowhere near as much to choose from.

Way back when ( 98 ) when i worked at target we would pull old stock down after x amount of time to work in the new then as the new would sell or discontiued items removed the old stock would be worked back in (the idea being that those seeking the older stock would be apt to buy them, the old stock having been removed so the demand would be somewhat back). Anymore nothing new is ether ordered or put out ( as evidenced by the heinous amount of old crap especially in the starwars and wwe crap still hogging space at full price) unless everything is sold....so it seems.

Wish brick n mortar stores would do this mor, especially walmart with teh wrestlers and that the women would quit being shortpacked. I hate the fact that if i want a becky lynch figure i have no recourse but to pay 24+ for her from a dickbag scalper... ( more than double the f&$king price)
