Disney has turned both Star Wars & Marvel into girl's brands. But for some reason still expect Men & Boys to buy their lame products. Rey, Holdo, Reva, Jyn Erso, Dora Milaje, Shuri, Ironheart.

Its sad to see how a company can be so ideologically driven to push "the message" can destroy beloved IPs for Twitter clout, sadder still to see the spambots shilling so hard for it.
Star Wars had been in continuous production since 1994 without a single day that didn't have SW merch and toys in stores since then. Even IF the new stuff was any good, that still doesn't stop customer burn-out. There's just too much of it now, there's no collectibility to any of it, and it's just not fun any more.

I've been witness to this for quite a while in Mexico City, stores literally don't stock new Star Wars toys anymore because they're still trying to sell the five year-old shit. Meanwhile they constantly renew the Mario and Pokemon stuff because it legit flies off the shelves.
I remember the Kenner lineup for the original Star Wars, now known as "A New Hope." Stores could not keep those figures on the shelf. One of the most popular model kits to get your hands on and assemble was the AMT R2-D2. It was small wonder that Lucas made a fortune. They couldn't make the toys and model kits fast enough for the market. Now they cannot get rid of Star Wars toys even at bargain basement prices. This is the true indicator of how trash "modern" Star Wars is. If the general public liked it, they would be buying the toys. But the don't, so the toys simply languish on shelves and hooks at Ollies.
The main group of Star Wars collectors has reached the age where they aren't collecting anymore. If they do buy something they're more selective or they're buying it for their kids.
The dramatic increase in regular retail prices for these figures when they are new is another contributing factor to the decline in sales among collectors. I use to pre-order an entire box of TVC Star Wars figures for each new wave that came out, but now I buy only one or two figures I really want from each new figure wave.

"What will it take to bring one of these figures home?" Well, If Target or Walmart paid me to take them off their hands... I could toss them in the wood chipper or something.
I only bought the Earth 2 Superman figure from Target that he showed in this video because it comes with a collectible card and Power Girl comic, but you're right Target would make more sales in profits in figure sales if they sold sexy or badass figures.
i would buy the Emperor, Tarkin, Leia, LAndo, Greef, Mario, Grogu, some Batman stuff. (2 each one, one for me, the other to sale in my country) and from Marvel and SW retro editions, i would really think it about it
Doing that Dungeons and Dragons line from the 80s cartoon was a fantastic idea and a 40-year dream come true. It's such a damn shame that they came in blind boxes and the toys themselves were such low-quality pieces of crap.
i work at walmart and the last 3 years even at Christmas not many people bought star wars and i mean we put it on super sale and sdtill no one bought it

After Iger's latest press release I have cancelled my Disney+ subscription and in the reason I said that Bob Iger and Kathleen must be fired and the company course corrected before I will support the company again.
It's so sad to see what Disney has done to Star Wars and how that's affected toy sales. I remember during the prequels hunting down figures and collecting the 3/4 Jedi. Thanks for the toy report!
Probably worth something in a collection in 20 years like ET the video game copies... until they find an insulated pile of this stuff in landfill somewhere.
Most of the garbage sold at Target and Walmart are the sequels stuff (and Lando, Lando is forever peg warmers). The Prequels, Clone Wars and video game figures are always sold out on BBTS and Entertainment Earth.
The Lando in a guard disguise from Return Of The Jedi is actually a cool figure. The problem is that Hasbro needlessly manufactured and distributed too damn many of them relative to other character figures. I am convinced now that this seemingly senseless approach to doing business is actually an intentional plot to make certain that DEI is ALWAYS visible on toy shelves across America.

Over at my local Ollie’s, all the Star Wars books were still overstocked on the shelves and didn’t seem like they were touched. I even got myself the last Jurassic World book that was next to all the unsold SW books. I’m for Universal over Disney.

@@dustinherk8124 Just because people disagree with each other they don’t always do it in a nice or respectful way a lot of the vocal minority who say Star Wars is bad try to tell the other fans that they can’t like the newer Star Wars and the fact is the fans who like the newer Star Wars are not say that they can’t like the original trilogy which we are not doing

Ewoks The Battle For Endor and Revenge Of The Sith are masterpieces, IMO.

You should see what they tried passing off as modern 7 dwarves.
That’s the cleanest and most organized Ollie’s that I have ever seen.
Its sad to see how a company can be so ideologically driven to push "the message" can destroy beloved IPs for Twitter clout, sadder still to see the spambots shilling so hard for it.
Star Wars had been in continuous production since 1994 without a single day that didn't have SW merch and toys in stores since then. Even IF the new stuff was any good, that still doesn't stop customer burn-out. There's just too much of it now, there's no collectibility to any of it, and it's just not fun any more.
Toy collecting and Star Wars collecting is still very fun to do
@@jamisoncowling2094 No it's not.
They used to be fun now prices have increased here in 🇨🇦 a 3 3/4 fig is like 25-27$ black series are 40 and more same with Transformers and Gi joe.
Plus add the poor distribution in stores and some scalpers you have the receipe to quit.
Thats why I collect old toys gi joe Transformers Masters of the universe Star wars (1978-2012)
And recently since its harder to find interesting toys I turned to LEGO I always had Lego and its easy to get no scalpers no poor distribution in stores no hassle or worries.
Dude, as long as Woke of the Coast continues to destroy D&D, don't bother.

@@md_vandenberg I got free 3rd edition material when I was a bookstore manager in NYC years ago, but I was able to amass a digital empire of nearly everything published for Original through 4th whilst sailing the Seven Seas.

This is the canary that adult disney fans don't want to talk about; parents and kids have stopped caring. Makes you wonder if they're honest about their D+ numbers (spoilers: they aren't)

The biggest question is why Ollie’s still takes their crap unless they get paid to offload it
Glad to see the Mario stuff is selling and that Star Wars stuff isn’t!
I've been witness to this for quite a while in Mexico City, stores literally don't stock new Star Wars toys anymore because they're still trying to sell the five year-old shit.
Meanwhile they constantly renew the Mario and Pokemon stuff because it legit flies off the shelves.
I love Ollie's. Sorry they got tricked into buying that Disney junk.
Disney toys are not worth it anymore, these videos serve as evidence for WCBS
These videos are nothing but lies and are evidence for nothing
I remember the Kenner lineup for the original Star Wars, now known as "A New Hope." Stores could not keep those figures on the shelf. One of the most popular model kits to get your hands on and assemble was the AMT R2-D2. It was small wonder that Lucas made a fortune. They couldn't make the toys and model kits fast enough for the market. Now they cannot get rid of Star Wars toys even at bargain basement prices. This is the true indicator of how trash "modern" Star Wars is. If the general public liked it, they would be buying the toys. But the don't, so the toys simply languish on shelves and hooks at Ollies.
Just remembering that Star wars used to be a factory that made money making machines. Star wars was a cash cow, look where it is now.
Star Wars still makes a lot of money
@@jamisoncowling2094 not as much as it used too.

The main group of Star Wars collectors has reached the age where they aren't collecting anymore. If they do buy something they're more selective or they're buying it for their kids.
The dramatic increase in regular retail prices for these figures when they are new is another contributing factor to the decline in sales among collectors. I use to pre-order an entire box of TVC Star Wars figures for each new wave that came out, but now I buy only one or two figures I really want from each new figure wave.
"what would it take for you to bring it home?"
"i'd buy that for a dollar!".
I'll get them when I can buy them for a penny each and get a secondhand microwave for REAL liquidation!

The sad part is that these items cost store upkeep, the fact that it isn't selling is an immediate red flag for any corporation.
"Sell's Like Hot Cakes" the phrase originated in the 1800's when American Church bake sales sold simple cornmeal versions and snapped up by the congregation before they went cold
I cant believe that they made all these action figures for such shit characters like the eternals.. NO ONE wants that garbage
I'd more likely buy a figurine of Rogue that has breasts larger than G and J cups than buying any of the M-SHE-U figures.

I used to be a huge Star Wars fan but after Gina was fired I went over to Naruto.
In Europe you won't find these toys in the toystore.
Give kids an iPhone and they'll never buy a toy or play with one again. I guess Disney didn't figure on technology doing that?
I can't wait to see the Kung Fu Scissoring action figures in Ollies.
I can’t wait for my Mae and Osha action figures to arrive!!
“The power of maaannnnyyyyy”
WCB- please be careful in those stores- with the new "acolyte" action figures coming in next you might be buried alive in a 45 foot pile of unsold disney crap!
George Santayana put it best: Americans love their junk. It's not the junk that bothers me, it's the love. What bothers me further is the junk that goes UNLOVED. The junk that winds up at Ollie's, the island of misfit toys. I tend to anthropomorphize things. This especially goes for toys. When I see the Holdos and Revas and now-unpopular Grogu knick-knacks, I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

I wouldn't even buy any Disney product for my dog to play with even if it cost a nickel for a pack of ten
"What will it take to bring one of these figures home?"
Well, If Target or Walmart paid me to take them off their hands... I could toss them in the wood chipper or something.
I only bought the Earth 2 Superman figure from Target that he showed in this video because it comes with a collectible card and Power Girl comic, but you're right Target would make more sales in profits in figure sales if they sold sexy or badass figures.
Rose Tico merch is becoming a rarity...it may end up being some of the most valuable some day, for it's meme value.
But who's gonna buy it?
I went to my local Ollie's. If they had a Palpatine and Grand Moff Tarkin, I'd have picked them up. I liked those villians.
Me too I would love to have those.
The parents also need to like the toys in order to buy them.
i would buy the Emperor, Tarkin, Leia, LAndo, Greef, Mario, Grogu, some Batman stuff. (2 each one, one for me, the other to sale in my country) and from Marvel and SW retro editions, i would really think it about it
Disney will eventually go under the same way rooster teeth did. It may take a little longer, but it’ll happen.
I have to wonder “what happens to items not sold in Ollie” and “where does Ollie put the excess Disney merchandise that overflow it’s shelves?”
Doing that Dungeons and Dragons line from the 80s cartoon was a fantastic idea and a 40-year dream come true. It's such a damn shame that they came in blind boxes and the toys themselves were such low-quality pieces of crap.

I'll take that AT-AT with that discount sticker.
It's so sad to see what Disney has done to Star Wars and how that's affected toy sales. I remember during the prequels hunting down figures and collecting the 3/4 Jedi. Thanks for the toy report!
Probably worth something in a collection in 20 years like ET the video game copies... until they find an insulated pile of this stuff in landfill somewhere.
Ollie's stores make great containment units for all the wokeness caught by the Wokebusters.
I guess they are making room for the Space lesbian witch Commune.
Most of the garbage sold at Target and Walmart are the sequels stuff (and Lando, Lando is forever peg warmers). The Prequels, Clone Wars and video game figures are always sold out on BBTS and Entertainment Earth.
The Lando in a guard disguise from Return Of The Jedi is actually a cool figure. The problem is that Hasbro needlessly manufactured and distributed too damn many of them relative to other character figures. I am convinced now that this seemingly senseless approach to doing business is actually an intentional plot to make certain that DEI is ALWAYS visible on toy shelves across America.
Can't wait to play with these lesbian Action Figures 😅
There is nothing wrong with characters who are lesbian or action figures of those characters it is just representation of lesbians in movies and shows which is not wrong

Over at my local Ollie’s, all the Star Wars books were still overstocked on the shelves and didn’t seem like they were touched. I even got myself the last Jurassic World book that was next to all the unsold SW books. I’m for Universal over Disney.
1:55 For each of those figures, I would like 3 3/4" figures of my favorite characters and races from the old Expanded Universe and $100,000. I'd ask for $1,000,000, but most of that would go to making the figures.
Ollie's better stop buying this stuff. No matter how cheap the price. 😱
First! Let the junk begin!
It's so funny seeing stacks of Star Wars books right next to stacks of Michelle Obama books lol the jokes just write themselves
I think they would be fun to destroy!
All that's missing is stacks of that prince harry book
The fact that there are characters less popular than JarJar makes me smile.
I'd happily have a creamy Sheev figure or some other prequel or OT stuff. I don't have space to collect all of them, so I'll stick to Legos.
