What, if anything are you guys finding in the toy isles that just won`t sell?
The main one i have noticed is Mumm Ra, that guy just doesnt seem to shift.
I really don’t get why Mumm-Ra in his decayed form was so over packed in the cases? There really is no logic to it, as kids would have gone for the Everliving version. There was a reason Ljn did the decayed Mumm-Ra as a mail away offer 
Panthro should have been packed much better, but then they probably already had the metal arms refresh in mind…which in that case they could have added an extra Cheetara instead.
I guess these decisions are based on ‘Test Group’ results, but they do not always give a good indication of what kids and parents want to buy… it really is time toy companies hired someone who knows these properties they produce toys for inside out. That way, the case ratios can be much more in line with what actually sells.
Yeah completely agree, this was the wave 1 case assorment
4x Lion-O
2x Tygra
2x Mumm-Ra
1x Cheetara
1x Panthro
1x Wilykat
1x Wilykit
God knows who thought Mumm Ra would out sell Panthro. Lion-O is also in pretty heavy supply down my way.
This is the wave 2 case assortment
2x Tygra
1x Cheetara
1x Wily Kit
1x Claudus
2x Mumm-Ra (transformed)
3x Lion-O (gauntlet and battle damage)
2x Panthro (different arms)
It seems they are learning, which is a good sign
My guess is that initially they thought Panthro wouldn’t sell as well because at the beginning of the series he was thought to be dead. He didn’t really show up until the tail end of episode 5 which was over a month into the show. For the kids it would be “out of sight, out of mind.”
Wave 1 Lion-O, Tygra, and Mumm-ra are in abundance anytime I go on a hunt.
I was in Toys R Us about a week ago and they had plenty of Mumm-Ra and the Kittens, which isn’t surprising at all.
I wonder why it was so hard for me to find Claudus at my local Wal-Mart when they had an abundance of Cheetara… also I can expect Wave 3’s case assortment to look something like this (based entirely on my opinions, none of these figures or ratios are confirmed)
3x Lion-O (possibly with a new Spirit Stone upgrade)
2x Panthro (possibly a new upgrade as well)
2x Bengali
1x Lynx-O
1x Pumyra
1x Slithe
1x Kaynar
1x Addicus
Hopefully they learn and over pack the villains to balance out the heroes on the pegs.
