And I should have really honed in on the Netflix figures, which is ultimately where my current ire resides.
If it’s any consolation, any at all, the phrasing of your ire was awesomekilled me.
There’s just some things only a TF collector can relate to. Like, I just had to start sorting my Siege from my Earthrise. Like when I had to start sorting my CW from my TR from my PotP. I only have so many shelves and I know you know what I mean.
It ain’t just us. Try finding the Mandalorian 3.75 inch figure in a store right now. And that’s not exclusive. I paid a 40% markup to get one, but the starting amount is not 39.73.
As to your other point, some of us are separating Siege from Siege (or trying to), to say nothing of Earthrise from Siege.

For the netflix line, I think it's a mixed bag and fully dependent on where you are located. There are some walmarts that I see a ton of them, so scalpers (if they are there) are not interested and thus it's only bought by people who wanted them (or in this case, don't want them). And from all the distribution woes I have witnessed from these boards, its more likely you arent seeing the toys because they are not there then because someone took them all.
As for the netflix figures being for fans, I wouldn't claim that in general at all. Especially when you consider they are all repaints of toys collectors and fans already got. These are obviously to accompany the show that will be starting next month, and thus they are for anyone who will watch the show and see them in stores be that fans or kids.
That Magnus seems more fan centric though since I can't think of a parent who would buy that not knowing what it is, but that also suits the higher price point which toys aimed at kids tend to shy away from and leave just for a few items.

My walmart had tags up for the voyagers and deluxes 3 weeks before they had them stocked. And no someone did not beat me to them since I checked with employees almost everyday until they finally stocked them.

So, complete chaos then.

Thats cool, are they heavily discounted? And yeah, the casette markings was what I was referring to when I said "especially exclusives". It's because tbey assume they'll get the product since they are exclusives to them, so the markings go up (in the Walmarts that care to put them up). And then some Walmarts get them and others dont, as is the usual. So you get any combination described so far of the toys being there or the markings or both or none.
As for Earthrise, the only class that I haven't seen plenty of at Walmart is the leader, but that's expected with the higher price point. But all in all, my Walmarts look absolutely faboulous, even nicer than before the quarantine.

Even if Bee is just a redeco/reshell of Earthrise Cliffjumper, I'll definitely be replacing TR Bee. TR Bee isn't bad by any means, but ER Cliff is much more fun to transform and pose for me, so I'll definitely upgrade.
Titans Return Bee's still staying even if I get ER bee

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!
