* This might be in the wrong section; so, sorry if it is.
Mattel:
Can you please make certain exclusives more accessible in Canada (Hall of Champions, Walmart Flashbacks, store exclusives, etc)?

Probably want to go to the suggestion board. Also a strange time to make this gripe when we've been able to get many exclusives this year.

I live in the us and store exclusives upset me every day.
I’m in and out of parking lots and stores empty handed. The retailers strategy to get me in the store never results in a sale of any item so I don’t think it really works. Distribution is substandard for the line we already know. I do not trust that the retailers will fulfill their end with consistency when it comes to making their exclusives available online.
It’s just scalp city.

I think moving forward I'll start buying the exclusives. I love helping people out on here but rarely do I buy them unless someone's already paid. Then I see someone looking for help and I return to the store and they're gone.
Maybe I'll start stockpiling figures.

When you spent $60 to get an Ohno sent from Canada because you couldn’t find it at Target...  |

No offense was meant... it's just the same distribution questions - and especially people not being able to find these exclusives - have been asked over and over again on the Mattel board and AFA Q&A thread. I think AFA was even getting fed up with it in the end too: Hey guys, In regards to store exclusives, I’ve explained everything in great detail including specifics on Ohno, Paige and Peyton as well as why retail exclusives exist in the first place and why they exist within the Elite waves. Distribution has been explained thoroughly as well. International availability has been explained. This does not effect availability of those figures in the US. Please go back and look through the posts, check out the first page for recaps and use the search function. There is a wealth of information in this thread that I, as a lifelong collector, would have loved to have in my early days of the hobby. I completely understand frustrations over finding desired figures and, as stated before, will continue to push to make them easier to attain. Improvements can already be seen at Walmart with quite of few of their last exclusive being available online also (Patterson, Rock, Ghostbusters, etc). I have nothing else to really add on these topics at the moment that hasn’t already been said. If you want to keep this discussion going, my suggestion is start a new official thread regarding Elite line retail exclusives and I’ll check in there to keep up on what you guys are seeing happening at retail. Allow this thread to continue with new questions and convo. |
