What do they know? All their stock comes from buying what's at Wal-Mart, TRU, etc. and jacking up the prices.
Jin, before you make a statement like this, PLEASE make 100% sure that it is TRUE.
In this case, it is NOT true.
I know Steve and the boys, I've met them more than a few times.
They (like myself) deal direct with Hasbro and other companies.
You saying they purchase from 'major retail' and then 'jack up the price' is one of the things that can hurt a small business.
Walmart has what is called 'Buying power'. They purchase SO much, that they can afford to sell things approx. .25cents over cost. Smaller stores don't have that luxury, and have to pmakr things up $2.00 or $5.00 more than what you may see it for at 'major retail'.
Just becareful what you say before you say it.
As for Sigma Six NOT coming out in Canada, it's slated to NOT come out unless the line does well in the U.S. - this also from Hasbro - to me.
At Toy Fair in Toronto this past January, (a time when Hasbro Canada SHOULD be pushing new lines), there was NO mention of Sigma Six AT ALL.
Canada just doesn't get all the product that the U.S. does, so we should actually feel lucky that places like Legends, Outer Reaches, and myself can bring in stock from their U.S. counterparts.
