The Observed "Rules" of Australian Major Retailers when it comes to toys.

[i_amtrunks]

A very interesting read, which I must say from a consumers standpoint looks more or less bang on the money.

However I cannot see anyone in any position from any major retail bothering to read this. It'd look too long and scary for them, more like a whinge than the observations it is.

I think it has been a series of events combined that has slowly eroded transformers value as a brand, from Hasbro selecting poor lines, poor quality control, overselling wave 1 at toy fairs, to terrible decision making by major retail buyers, to more competitive and successful sales from other lines and brands.

Since the first movie, Hasbro Australia themselves have shot themselves in the foot time and time again, sometimes assisted by the Australian retailers, sometimes not.
