Stuff would just have to pace out a little slower, which to me would be fine. It's just the constantly going to the store and walking out empty handed that makes this no fun. Like, imagine if you went to the grocery store for milk and 9 times out of 10 they had no milk....you'd be like wtf, right? I'm just trying to buy something. It shouldn't be that complicated. Good point about the milk thing. LOL, No. It's a TERRIBLE example. Milk is a food item. You know, for sustenance. You don't NEED a toy. |

Store exclusives aren't going anywhere. The whole point is for retailers to drive customers into the store and away from online and brick and mortar competitors. As long as stores keep paying for exclusives, Mattel will keep making them.

How about stop with the store exclusives? If your stores suck, it's almost impossible to find any of this stuff. I have one of the worst Target's and worst Walmart's in the history of our sport. Literally they will get one case of any of their exclusives in and the employees raid it before it even hits shelves IF it ever does. Why not just have everything go to EVERYWHERE so not only everyone has a shot, but it maximizes your possibility for profit if let's say for example, NXT/HOC figures were sold at Target, Walmart, Amazon, RSC, instead of JUST Target. It just gives people more opportunities to spend their money. Now, If I'm looking for NXT or HOC figures, if I got to Target and they don't have anything...I have no other options. Wouldn't it be great for the economy and Mattel if I could also check other places to locate these items instead of that money just sitting in my pocket until Target gets its sh*t together? I honestly don't think anybody really enjoys store exclusives anyway....it just makes buying things more difficult. As a consumer, making a purchase should never seem like a frustrating and impossible task. This is the dumbest FN s#it I've read. You know retailers are the ones who ask for exclusive lines? They see the popularity of the normal lines and the retailers want exclusives so they can get more foot traffic coming through their stores. More foot traffic to them means more profit from impulse buys, grocery trips, yadda yadda. And I can't believe how many of you are for online only exclusives. It's a chore already to check for decent paint applications IN store, can you imagine how many more complaints there will be on paint apps on figures that we CAN'T see before purchasing them? You act as if Mattel is personally out to get you and make you miss out on figures. |

You act as if Mattel is personally out to get you and make you miss out on figures. I'm sorry but you don't realize that walmart and target up until recently have done an absolutely god awful job stocking exclusives. So if you happen to not live in an area thats not a major city or the west coast your screwed because even if you happen to have a walmart or target they are lucky to get 1 case of a new series of exclusives. My local target has never gotten in hall of fame series 4 or 5 and the line is now over/dead. I went to Minneapolis, looking for lots of figures on a mini-vacation for 4 days. I went to every toysrus, a dozen walmarts, and at least 15 targets in the entire surrounding area. I went to at least 15 target stores over several days, 1 had a single roddy piper hof elite. The rest where clogged with tito santana. And a single store had a leftover nakamura nxt elite, and 1 store had the new nxt series 3 elites which i was shocked to find so early. |

How about put all exclusives on Amazon so I can actually get them. Still haven't found Syxx, Batista, or NXT Elite 3. Definitely won't be finding Evolution HHH now, either. Or not even have exclusives so then they are distributed to everyone everywhere. |

I’ve never had a problem getting store exclusives except for Walmart ones. The local Walmart’s are terrible with stocking stuff. I hope to grab these Dan Central ones before the TRU’s close.

Ok, and you don't NEED any 1 certain food item. You don't. And when it's your child's birthday and the thing they want most is a store exclusive that you just cannot find to save your life, tell me that isn't more important than some bitch ass milk. |

You must travel with Doc Brown in his Delorean to see where the future of TRU exclusives end up
