@jamisoncowling2094 That is outright false. You can't say oh look they paid X amount of dollars for Star Wars and over this amount of time, they maid Y amount of dollars, and that means they made that money back. The way it actually breaks down is like this. When Disney bought Lucas Films, that means all that debt becomes front-loaded, and Lucas Films is automatically in the Red. On top of that, debt is the production is production cost of every movie, show, and general running and day to day operation costs of Lucas Studios. Meaning that, let's say you put the total cost to buy Lucas Films and everything Star Wars and etc. Disney has produced so far together along with the total staff , etc.. Bill's together, along with total income so far from returns of licensing and the share of ticket revenue combined. You'll find there is not an iceberg chance in Death Valley. Disney has earned back that cost Bob Igor spent in buying Lucas Films, Marvel, or FOX. If anything, Disney has massively lost money and lost so much money that during an investor call, Bob Igor was outright up and asked if Disney has earned back the money Bob Igor spent on buying Star Wars and he didn't even answer the question. To try and sweep under the carpet, the net Loss George Lucas Studios is operating at they are actively canceling the divisor with in parks and recreation to avoid shareholders knowing how much money Star Wars is bleeding from the Walt Disney Corporation. You can actually go and look up the earnings report yourself. You'll the actual income and expenses of Lucas Studios (Star Wars), Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios, and CNN are not openly shown. I know business, and when it is a success, the numbers are published, and when it is a failure, you don't see numbers. When the brand is bleeding money, it is hidden on the earnings report to try and prevent the blowback from shareholders.

I've said it before about SW toys in particular but this can apply to Marvels toys as well - I don't think Disney realized that it wasn't just kids that drove the sales of those toys but mainly adult collectors. When they told all the old hard core fans of those franchises to fvck off in an effort to please a very small percentage of the population, the so called 'modern audience,' they lost all those customers for their toy range. They claim that kids just don't play with toys anymore but it is actually the loss of grandparents that would buy three of each for presents: one for their collection, one for their children's collection, and one for their grandkids to play with. Then when the grandkids became adults they would get new ones to replace the old ones that they payed with. They screwed themselves out of generations of customers to pander to a very small section of the population that didn't care about those franchises to begin with and weren't going to do more than tweet how brave and modern you are but not actually consume them.

I think a really big issue with these toys, aside from most of them suck, is that they are still too expensive at Ollies. They might actually sell more of them if they were $5 or less. the original asking prices of those figures should not have been over $10 to begin with.

I'm honestly VERY temped to pick up a few Ironheart masks on December 10th at Ollie's (it's specifically a 25% one day sale on toys) because they're so generic they'd make a great base for a custom mech mask. That said, hey Jeff, make sure so browse Ollie's AFTER December 10th. If nothing has moved....there's going to be a huge problem.

@@longtsun8286 kids like toys that are for the opposite gender does not have anything to do with transgender ideology or having a surgery to change one’s gender. I grew up with two older female cousins as a child and I played with them a lot as a child and so I played with both toys that are considered boy toys and toys that are considered girls toys. Also I have both girls toy and boys toys in my toy collection. Both those things I mentioned about myself does not make me less of a man. And I firmly believe that toys should not be developed or divided by gender. If a boy plays with a baby doll or a girl plays with a Hotwheels car they will grow out of it. I grew up and grew out of it when I was a kid because when I was a kid I did have a baby doll that I eventually grew up and no longer played with and that does not make me any less of a man for doing so

Aside from the usual end caps full of Eternals and Namorrr, I saw some really weird stuff too: Young Justice and Generator Rex toys from 2010-2011.

[@rocistone6570]

The back cover price for "Light of the Jedi" is $16.00 US at Ollie's $3.99. We can now see the tremendous cost of failing Literature. At $3.99, they still make a profit. The next time you walk into a major bookseller and feel the pinch of a nearly $20 paperback, ask yourself two questions: First, how much of the cover price is subsidizing a publisher's greed? Second, how much of that $20 does the author get? (The answer would shock you!) That boring exposition on the back cover reads like someone trying and failing to write a crawl for the title screen of a Star Wars movie. But the back cover is about as punchy and exciting as a shopping list, besides being too long by half. I can see this entire series being jobbed to Ollie's by some poor comic book shop owner who is trying hard to make way for the holiday season. I hate seeing books of any kind being pulped in an age where it's become practically torture to get anyone to read anything longer than one of those shopping lists. I feel worst for the trees that died to provide publication for such an awful idea.

[@e.l.norton]

The retail price goes to the retailer. They purchase their stock at wholesale. The manufacturers/publishers got their money when the product was INITIALLY ordered and sold. They make nothing off that $3.99 price. That goes to Ollie's, or whichever retailer.

[@lo1bo2]

At $3.99, Ollie's makes a small profit because they bought it extremely cheaply from the original retailer, which LOST money.

[@robo5013]

@@lo1bo2 That's not how book sales work. The retail book stores, such as Barnes and Noble, 'pays' an extremely small price for the books they have on their shelves. If the book doesn't sell they ship them back to the publisher for a refund, basically a credit towards their next purchase from that publisher. That publisher will then lower the price of the book and re-sell it to the bookstore as a Bargain Book. If that doesn't sell then the bookstore will return it again to the publisher that will then lower the price even further and dump it on small independant bookstores and places like Ollies where if it finally doesn't sell it will get trashed. It costs next to nothing to print books. Ever seen the inside cover of a paperback where it says if you've bought it without a cover it was stolen? Don't know if they still have that in there but it is/was there because those paperbacks are so cheap to manufacture that retail bookstores don't even return the whole book for credit but just the cover. Someone, I've done it to tens of thousands of books (magazines work the same way too) when I worked at a bookstore for 5 years ages ago, tears the covers off and they are sent back to the publisher, the rest of the book goes in the trash. Don't think of the 'money' businesses (not the retailers that deal in cash, etc.) make in the same way as your or my money works. They make their actual money off of investors while their 'income' from sales is all electronic transfers. As long as the publishing companies 'income' exceeds their 'expenses' every quarter their investors give them more real money. So when that book doesn't sell the first time at the retail store they can refund the price and re-sell it back to them. No real money actually changes hands just credits and debits on a spreadsheet. As long as their credits are larger than their debits then they can tell their investors they have made a 'profit' and get more money from them. The only way they get actual cash transfers from the retail bookstores is when say millions of Stephen King books they print sell and only a few thousand get returned. Then they will get actual bank transfers from the retail stores, and as I've mentioned the cost for printing those books are pennies each when printing in those volumes, so they can afford to eat the costs of printing other books in lesser quantities that don't sell during their initial run. It's all a racket.

I personally am a fan of the Mission Fleet line. They look and seem to be a continuation of the Galaxy Heroes which were around in the late 90s. They are Fun sculpt style and simple for younger kids similar to the Imagine Next . I think kids only play with toys of franchises which their parents “get them into” sonic the parents aren’t fans , it’s likely the kids won’t be either. Secondly kids have so many video games for escapism. Even when my oldest son was younger and Loved Clone wars he didn’t really care all that much for the Hasbro Kenner figures as much as the Lego. Finally I believe the majority of collectors are those of U.S. which grew up with the Original Trilogy.. Kids (except toddlers and then even few) just don’t really play with toys anymore. I really feel like it’s a dying industry! ?
