I Took A Road Trip To The MEGA Mountains of Unsold Disney JUNK

Word is, other parts of the country have massive amounts of unsold Disney junk, so I took a trip to see it and what I found is surprising.

Your comment is striking to me for some reason. It definitely shouldn't stand out this much, that is to say, the axiomatic truth. It's weird to know, not think, that no one will want these and they will jump into the trash. I don't know children outside of having been on but I know trends. "Kids these days" don't want to "play" with stuff because the kid up the street got an iPhone WhatEvEr for Christmas and he's rubbing it in. Collectors? Honestly, outside of an actual "collection" I don't think many collectors would want this. The action figures from the sequel trilogy devalue action figures from the prior films the same way printing dollars makes your dollar less than a dollar, realistically speaking. Maybe I'm being foolish overlooking collectors but I also think that if a collector wanted it, they'd have it and be disappointed already. General holdover made me realize that "we" need to curb bullshit production just as much as "we" need to recycle. Thanks a lot, china.

[@JustTooDamnHonest]

@@AntifaareFascists-zv6xk No it is that collectors have standards and they only want the real thing or something close to it and also collectors do not just see the money aspect of a collectable, but also maybe it is due to the love that one has for the art that brought the figure or collectable meaning in the first place.

In my opinion, action figures based on movies (particularly Star Wars) used to be special in the sense that you couldn't get them all the time. Now, Disney is constantly churning out more crap on Disney+ and, as a result, are constantly churning out mountains of plastic crap to go along with it. I'm not saying they should be so rare that people need to wait in line for hours or buy them at 1000% markup from a scalper, but they're so ridiculously abundant now that they're no longer special. It's also funny to see a company that's supposedly all about environmentalism leveraging factories in China to just manufacture plastic junk all day that isn't even selling very well.

[@DarthPerkins]

I keep saying this, but I was there in '77 looking at empty shelves. Figures, vehicles, pencil cases, pencil sharpeners.... EVERYTHING sold out. What did 'The Rise of Skywalker' get? I think it was five pieces of merchandise and two of those got cancelled before the film came out.

[@bluerisk]

Hasbro's and Mattel's revenue has dropped, but they are still making profit. More than most companies when one compare the net profit on the dollar on the dollar. Not good but solid. Mattel is close to the 8% margin which is more or less the base target. Lego has become the largest toy producer by now, and they also sell Star Wars and Disney stuff. They became that big with licence-products. But Lego bricks can also be used with any set. If you don't like, you can build something entirely new. But you can also sell it quick, easy and with a fair cash return. Even I, a non Star Wars fan, have bought a Star Wars set here and there. Not the big ones, but some smaller ones. Mostly Mandalorien sets like the battlepacks. Mandolriens work as futuristic warriors in MOCs. Some sets (the Harry Potters) can by good part providers. You don't buy them for the Harry Potter minifigure - I hate him - but for the bricks. Some others collect the minifigures and do not care for the building or ships and sell it separately to people who do not care for the minifigures. There is an entire market place called bricklink where you can sell sets or single bricks. Some make a living by buying the sets, putting them apart and selling the bricks separately. Normally, the part-out-value is higher than the set price. What I try to say: Lego works on several levels for customers with completely different interests, even customers who do not care for a franchise itself can find a use for a set. Why?Because it is build within a larger "universe". One can even use Lego with a ton of other brands. Mattel has Mega, once called MegaBlocks, which has franchise like Halo, MacFarlane had Walking Deads, a German company named Bluebricks has Star Trek. Cobi is a Polish company which produced a lot of military sets. But all used the same standard, and all bricks can be used with each other. It's also that a minifigure is also a standard which exist for decades now. And thus it has a pretty solid value. The plastic the sets are made of, the Lego bricks, have a solid market value being a franchise set or not, and a certain base price is next to guaranteed if you don't ruin the bricks. Every figure he showed in this clips is "isolated" and can't be used with anything else. It is just for display. Lego city for instance is a "Spielwelt", a game world, where you have building of all kinds, people of all kinds, cars, trucks and all the other stuff that make a world whole. And thus it has a high play value - aside that you can build anything with these bricks, and the inherent value the bricks have in terms of money. MOC = My own creation.

[@aluvrianne]

@@peepawfart Bingo! The pink aisles are still a place where marketing to the they/them demographic has been quietly ignored for the most part, save for Barbie. Barbie used to be smart and pretty and fun (I was a lucky 80s kid w/Superstar Barbie, real MLP, Transformers, all that great IP) and nowadays, Barbie is the shining example of the bias of low expectations. Every one of them in the play line is a frumpy wierdo with horrible clothes and all the face molds post 2014 or so look like they'd belong just fine amongst a group of dudes dressing up like Charlie's Angels for Halloween. TBH, w/o the movie, I don't know how much longer Barbie would have malingered before taking up even less space. I rehab second-hand fashion dolls that I give to local charities and due to that, I pay very close attention to the pink aisles. I've got a fairly extensive collection of Rainbow High (with their primo old MLP hair) and LOL OMG because they're well-made and absolutely designed to spark your imagination. They hang out with my Jem** dolls and my Style Magic Whitney and their job is to be pretty and colorful as a distraction from the world at large. For the Bratz, I'd keep an eye on the MGA website. I've gotten some great deals there. Watch Amazon as well. They get things at strange times and you might just land yourself a deal. I don't trust my local big box to carry anything, especially around the holidays. I can't say much as to the Monster High, I don't know much about them other than their shoes fit Rainbow Jr. High pretty well. The willingness to put out a decent product for their core customers whilst not alienating potential customers is what's keeping the pink aisles together. Baby Alive isn't having problems with the 18-34 male demographic b/c they're not the core customer. I'm going to stop rambling now. **For those out there who've had shoeless Jems for the last 30 years, a lot of the RH tie-on and strappy heels will fit.

The value only goes up when people not born yet go looking for it after the landfill. Atari E.T. couldn't sell for any price now it's a collectors item. Also 7:05 Squid Game: The coloring book! has some Bojangles mouths.

[@shawnpatrick1877]

No offense, but you're repeating revisionist history and nonsense. E.T. was actually one of the best-selling Atari 2600 games. It was in the top 10 for a system that had over 500 games and a few hundred more unlicensed games. The problem wasn't that it sold poorly, it was gross overproduction. They literally made more carts than the number of consoles that existed at the time, and so lost a lot of money in spite of the great sales. Even the notion that everyone hated the game is nonsense, perpetuated quite a bit by AVGN in skits that were never meant to be that serious. James Rolfe has even said it's not that bad when compared to other games of the era. It didn't live up to the hype and plenty of kids, that couldn't or didn't want to read the instructions, had trouble understanding it, leading to modern memories of SOME people not liking it. It also had a frustrating element that wasn't so bad once you figured out how to do it. Everyone I knew as a kid actually loved the game. People playing it now for the first time after hearing how bad it is are playing on a very archaic system and have no context, and so further perpetuate this myth about how "unplayable it is." It certainly wasn't the best thing on the console, but it's terribleness is now exaggerated to insane levels, and this notion that it sold poorly and thus ended Atari isn't true whatsoever. Stupid business practices killed Atari. They thought the game would be a console seller because of the film's popularity and overproduced. It wouldn't have done what they predicted even if it was the greatest game of the era.

[@shawnpatrick1877]

Also, things produced enough to end up in landfills almost never go up in value. Even if some pop-culture thing like the stories of the landfill peak curiosity, they may go up for a second and then go back down again. Vintage toys and games are almost exclusively bought by people who grew up in the era they were first introduced, and those who just like vintage toys from before their time is a very small, niche group that doesn't tend to buy overproduced, unwanted crap. E.T. cartridges were never expensive and they only went up a small bit when the landfill was confirmed. You could buy them for $1 at used game stored before the landfill-found stories and you can buy them for $1-5 now.

Disney deserve this, why buy the most beloved franchise ever for $4 billion then crap all over it? boggles my mind!

[@manofaction1807]

Old Holdo keeps haunting you like a good case of Gonorrhea. LOL!

[@dragondude9637]

And herpes!😅

[@StainedTenko]

Im addicted to these videos

[@haroldb1856]

Did they ever make an action figure of Luke's milk walrus? Niw, there is a Last Jedi toy people would actually want.

[@divisionwolpertinger579]

This poor creature is the sadest thing and at the same time the perfect summary for this awful disney Movies.

[@Grandizer8989]

I lived in Seattle in the early 2000s when the Mariners were good. After the season where they won 116 games, but didn’t even get to the World Series, someone had the bright idea to make a video to commemorate the season. I still remember the mountain sized stack of unsold videos in a department store that nobody wanted.

[@AnsonBeeker]

What is this channel going to do if Disney ever makes a hit movie and gets the magic back? I'm talking crazy. They will never have a hit again.

[@courtemanchep]

Love the little music in the background. It really add something to the "mockery". Good job guys!

[@Cheerfuljochan]

At some point we need to rename this show into a guessing game of "how many wakanda forever toys will we find this time!" They are literally everywhere lol.

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

Wakanda Forever on Shelves.

[@ReierGotter]

Spot the Shuri Copter!

[@TSURUGl]

8:23 that has to be the saddest looking packaging for a toy ever XD so much empty space in the packaging with absolutely nothing going on

[@aster4jaden]

Jeff you should do a Horror Video for Halloween about the "Disney Toy Dump".

[@longtsun8286]

A cemetery's worth of unsold 'Star Wars' costumes will certainly make for a terrifying setting- for any Disney employee and the environmentalists they shill for.

[@jamisoncowling2094]

They won’t do that because Disney and Star Wars merchandise does sell

[@nexus-sentinel252]

​@@jamisoncowling2094 Are you sure? Let's ask Hasbro 😂

[@Ihavethetouch]

​@@nexus-sentinel252"We planned all of this, just trust me bro."

[@stephenshelton4267]

Why do I love these videos so much?

[@StreetPreacherr]

And WHAT exactly happens to all the crap that just doesn't sell no matter how great the discount? Can they even donate the stuff to some kids charity (assuming they even want it)? Or does it all actually need to be 'destroyed' to satisfy some 'business' rules?

[@autobotstarscream765]

They destroyed Star Wars, isn't that enough for the tax refund? 😂

[@Firevine]

There's a board game called Joe Quadri's Action Tennis that has had tons of copies collecting dust on the shelves at my local Ollie's for _years_ _YEARS_ Ollie's does not appear to dumpster anything. At least my local one anyway.

[@BerodranG]

So much wasted material. It floors me that Disney made so much unwanted merchandise. They are writing the book on how to lose money.

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

Thanks to this video, now I know Ollie's has a ton of those MOTU Rise Of Evil 2-packs. I would never know by actually going to my local Ollie's. My Ollie's never has shit. I need some of those for customs.

[@chriscummings4206]

There are photos of LEGO AT-AT UCS sets at (Ollie's?) for $400! Even my local Meijer stores have Shuri Copters for the low low price of $23.00, great savings. Not.😂😂😂😂 I was looking through the Walmart wishbook, and there are 4 pages of LEGO yet, 1 page of Star Wars (4+ only) and 1 page of Marvel junk. I'm wondering if The Marvels are going to call us "haters" "pro Israel" since they always blame the fans for every Disney failure. My local Ollie's have floors sooooo dirty, you want to wipe your shoes after you leave the store, so you don't dirty up the parking lot.

[@scottkrafft6830]

I'm not sure if I can believe that. Scalpers are already sitting on piles of the AT-AT's waiting to throw them on Ebay for $1K a pop the second they get discontinued after this year. Granted I got mine for $700 but I would never believe a penny under $600.

[@urzmontst.george6314]

I have not made a custom action figure for over a decade. Even at the local Walmart in the Boondocks, there are whole section with hugely marked down SW merch. Might be time to get out the exactos and sculpey again.

[@tljscrewjob6397]

Glad to see you back Jeff! This must by why the podcast and High Council were on a week long break!

[@Great_White_Shork]

Disney and Junk pretty much have the same meaning nowadays.

[@francoisregis2155]

Disney produce more 💩 than cows on a dairy farm 🤣🤣🤣

[@tommyg4842]

Oh man I always love seeing our shark profile around! It does give me a heart attack tho because I be like “oh shoot when did I write this?!?” Lol I agree wit ya shork

[@Dodgers1737]

The Black series figures just sit now nobody wants most of them outside of the clone troopers which seem to sell out fast and are hard to find. I work at a Walmart and the Andor figures have been on the pegs for about two months now the only figures to sell out of that wave were Luke Skywalker and Din Jarin. The store I work at got a shipper full of the bad batch clone commandos and the two clone troopers Jesse and Fives those sold out in a few days, I actually never saw Jesse but I did find a Fives that I picked up.

[@seanthompson8071]

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the nostalgic music.

[@Kylorin235]

I wish my stores were well stocked like yours. All mine has is starwars, marvel, and several raccoons giving birth on all of the holdos.

[@chewsday5760]

Who is the target market for the star wars finger puppets?

[@divisionwolpertinger579]

Good Question.

[@Firevine]

Redditors

[@AA-eq5wk]

the whole baby yoda mass marketing plow shows just how simple minded disney thought their star wars consumer was ... and that they would easily fall for tricks.... and if they combined cute with the wisdom from an advanced race with a history of Jedi that appealed to fans, they would drag in the fun loving masses who stayed away from science fiction nerd "white" stuff while at the same time forcing the original fan, the "men," to start hugging cute things instead of playing with blasters and lightsabers

[@inspector2363]

Last time I saw a Tico it was clearanced £1 at Sainsburys

[@balazsvarga1823]

Every time I see these kids toys, my brain goes to "Did they forgot to add the Nuln oil?" or "Thin your paints!" .

[@HalianTheProtogen]

An airbrush would have done wonders 😛

[@krazy2dead]

So that's where the Island of Misfit Toys is located. 😄

[@troypol343]

Disney Junk is right.

[@theblueoctopus4494]

There was a time when Star Wars was a money making machine. Leave it to Disney to puck it up.

[@MrLulzbot]

A lot of this could be avoided if Hasbro would go back to shipping figures in mixed cases with figures in them balanced to demand as they did in the past

[@TheChadTI]

I'd watch these every day. Thanks Jeff 🤙🙏

[@Thornspyre81]

If Disney would have focused on fleshing out characters, good plot lines, and letting important moments breathe, maybe the toys would actually represent something meaningful and people would buy it.

[@frankiev-tech4630]

I'm really looking forward on your take with Haslab and Hasbro. I'm sure for what we're seeing is a lack of interest for toys in general....especially on how much Disney ruined these franchises. I have 4 Nephews and 1 Niece. They're from the ages of 3 to 10. And they don't play with any toys. They don't like any of today's toys. They should just stick to 80s reissues.

[@TheFantaFruitTwist]

Aside from anything else, this shop is fascinating, we don't really have stores like this in the UK.

[@Retsler54]

I was in Scotland on vacation in 1982 and God! You had a supply of the GREAT Star Wars toys back then in numbers I could not find at home yet. UK toy stores in those years were awesome / Sweden

[@MegaGemann]

Awesome!!! Thanks for posting. This will be a great place to buy toys for tots and other charity for kids!!!

[@gww730]

Loved the "Space Jesus" reference!

[@MarcusEye]

What do you get when you have a Morgan Elsbeth figure , a Mon Mothma figure and a vice admiral Holdo figure?. = An intergalactic Tea party!. ( At Ollie’s of course!).

[@vazjc]

All the different versions of the same character is madness and all the different types of merchandise.

[@jeremy____5747]

I do want to say: These things were probably made for 25 cents each, so they are probably profitable at *any* price.

[@davidbrennan660]

That music is so sweet to hear.... .

[@ZOMb2010]

No wonder the CANADIAN Toy aisles lack ...ahh..TOYS ..all the crap ends up at OLLIE's ... bless their lil buying .. You should nail MATTHELL ... oh wait their distribution sucks so bad that most of their toys are still out on a OCEAN cargo ship.. LOV THESE VIDS...AWESOME

[@ryanconway2207]

Even I've got a baby Yoda, I didn't buy it, my next door neighbour thought it was a cuddly toy because she's never watched Star Wars, so she gave it to me, lol !

[@darthlego3664]

They need to open an Ollies in Australia! The MOTU would be snapped up in seconds! I get jealous of some of the awesome stuff and prices there. But you can keep the Holdos lol

[@hewhostaresattheabyss7236]

Admiral holdo more like admiral holdover😂

[@leoh1191]

Black panther featuring wamen ...where do I back the truck up

[@Beef3D]

Ah yes, I love my monthly dose of the sweet suave voices of WCB expresssing sarcastic love for disney merch nobody wants or cares about with the quiet soothing sound of elevator/lobby music in the background. truly the content I crave!

[@robertcovino4889]

Yes! I love these… Good morning to you all…☕️

[@longlostrobots8146]

Good video . I find it calming I some way watching it

[@rayray5076]

I love these videos

[@DontSnowMe]

"If you're a Hasbro collector, it's hard to justify paying full price for anything any more". My thoughts exactly. I always catch one or two random figures in these videos that I wished I didnt pay full price for. Too bad there's no Ollie's by me

[@HalianTheProtogen]

See especially Magic: The Gathering.

[@jim55ize]

I wish they'd get rid of those Shuri copters they are just sitting there lol

[@mechamanblade8465]

Star Wars: Mission Fleet was the dumbest thing Hasbro ever made. "Let's make Star Wars vehicles and figures that don't fit into either the Star Wars TVC or Black Series Collections."

[@TheDukeofMadness]

All that stuff going into landfill will screw Disney's E.S.G. score. Then they'll have to hire another biodiversity Czar.

[@dennislogan9836]

I really enjoy watching your videos

[@katrinagarrett9612]

"Things that don't sell...for 500, Alex." 🤣😆😂

[@negirno]

While I agree that the main cause these toys don't sell because the movies and tv-shows aren't popular with the general audience, but I think it's also because today's kids don't want physical toys anymore due to them having a smartphone or a tablet. Heck, you can see even some Fortnite stuff on those shelves...

[@london19657]

Thanks for making these videos. It's actually quite a shame that the toy industry had no idea that the movies were going to be shit. Not really their fault. Except for F'kin Holdo. Nobody needed that.

[@163082rock]

Bro will literally spend 4 minutes plugging his comic based off of something that already exists.

[@bondgabebond4907]

Who are these toys really made for? Certainly not the public. The prices asked for these toys are ridiculous. $56 for an Asshoeka toy? Sorry spelled that wrong, its Ahsoka.

[@kpsk8031]

ESG is not amused: All this plastic garbage is bad for the "E"nvironment.
