I think too many people in the Hasbro hobby preorder from 12 different sites and then only keep the preorder for whoever gets stock first. This creates a glut of excess stock everywhere that sits until clearance. I am not going to blame the consumer for this behavior. Hasbro distribution is a bloated dinosaur that needs to be euthanized. Don’t make adult collectors hunt at four different general goods stores where employees hate us. Just sell to us direct. Hasbro thinking the big box stores are their friends is like me thinking my car insurance agent is my friend. They are not. Additionally, plastic free packaging is not retail friendly. No one impulse buys a cardboard box. Just cut out a bunch of the middle men to tighten up production and distribution. But this makes too much sense. Leave it to Hasbro to cut out the end consumer from their business model and leave the middle men.
