I don't think /toy/ is this sad, but we used to have way more posters who actually had an education and knew how businesses work.

Dude, just a simple google will tell you how many Walgreens store exist. https://www.timeout.com/usa/news/heres-the-full-list-of-walgreen-stores-that-are-closing-permanently-and-why-102124 I actually underestimated how many stores they had, because i knew that they closed down about thousand since COVID ended and are closing even more. I only know how many exist off hand because I looked this shit up when Hasbro and McFarlane started getting support from Walgreens by giving them exclusive after exclusive. And back then, they almost had 10,000 stores.
>Toys are a loss leader
You're repeating half understood bullshit. Walmarts expect every square foot of space in their store to generate $X,XXX.xx every week/day. If they don't sell that much shit, to THEM, they're losing money.
If they were actually losing money, they would have long stopped carrying toys long ago. If you look at what TRU was making back before they stopped revealing numbers, they were making over 10 billion dollars in revenue every single year. I forget if Walmart was the number 1 toy vendor at that point or not, but that's shit ton of money and this is despite that whole "loss leader" being repeated back then too. NO ONE is losing money from selling billions of dollars every year, hence Hasbro and Mattel making billions of dollars every year.
Still, the point is that the GI Joe lost locations where they're sold and each location is still generating a shit ton of money. If toy companes need to temper their expections, especially giant ones like Hasbro, it surprises me they keep gI Joe alive.
Honestly, if you didn't type out complete sentences, I'd think you were a zoomer, since you don't seem to understand how much physical retail still exists. I posted this a while ago, but internet sales still haven't reached physical. Not even half.
