But there was a discussion last year that plenty of collectors were in here about how most Walmarts don't even bother with it anymore, even the other franchises(though it was before Dimensions came out). One store not caring about stocking doesn't mean the franchise is failing,if it's happening to the other games then it's a problem with the store itself.

Hell if I know how it works because it's not on my country(and as I said a dozen times, the franchise got cancelled here over abusive taxes and not sales), but if it's the only place, doesn't seem like it's entirely related.

Easy there...I went back a few posts and I think the poster was just making a general comment about the stock at his/her local Walmart. He/she wasn't specifically using it as an arguing point for a franchise failure as you're making it out to seem. Please don't take one post out of context and get so defensive about it.

As more of a general note from me about observation of many Walmart stores throughout states in the northeast US, one word comes to mind - neglect. If Activision had proper representatives dedicated to making sure their product was properly stocked and displayed in Walmart stores, then there would have never been a super long thread last year about how poorly Walmarts stock Skylanders and how some stores have stopped carrying them. Although presentation still varies from store to store, Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions seem to be better stocked and have nicer displays at Walmart stores. They must have reps going around to stores to ensure proper display and presentation. If Activision cared, they would do the same...I guess they got too comfortable in the days of Spyros Adventure and Giants when products would magically print money for them. They need to change with the times and increased competition.

that will cost activision money, and as super chargers is not doing good. activision will for sure not splash the money on it now.

See, some people are getting it.

My Walmarts used to be very well stocked on Skylanders. I also met an Acitivision rep here in this city, whose job was to make sure stores stayed stocked. All the sudden ALL of my local Walmarts are dead on Skylanders, and have been since the end of Trap Team. They barely got any Skylanders in for Superchargers, and that's been that.

Now TRU is having trouble getting boxes of L-Roller Brawl, and what stores are getting her is getting a whopping 12 Roller Brawls?

I swear if Activision doesn't allow me, or us to finish our collection this go around, I'm done with Activision and Skylanders. Oh, and if they try and pull the stupid come back in a few years nonsense like they did with Guitar Hero, I won't be falling for it. Only allowing them to burn my bridge twice. They burned it once by not releasing the whole Trap Team collection in the U.S., and bridge number 2 is making Supercharger figures so scarce that I can't finish it, if they release any given figure at all.

So disappointed in this brand and its ability to keep customers informed while meeting demand.

I swear I'd almost pay money to have "Dramatic readings of DarkSpyro forum posts." It'd be pretty amazing.

I guess that's why my Walmart had tons of SC merch before Christmas and now afterwards all they are a few stormblades, crypt crushers and the new sky pack whereas DI is still sitting on the shelf gathering dust.

Thanks for giving me ideas for youtube.

Im not sure this'll help, but my TRU has great Skylander stock and two different Skylander sections. They even have toys from TT, SF and Giants with a small amount from SSA.

ayyyyyyyy

^ Truly heartbreaking.

The voice and reading are dead on - but the music is too loud and drowns out the voice. ;)

I don't think its the last game. It's still successful despite what people on here keep relentlessly trying to prove lol.
As the creator, I'm pretty sure toys 4 bob would want to finish off the franchise anyway, so maybe after the next game.

Story wise I don't have any idea what they're going to do next.
they'll do whatever they want and then connect the dots with a comic lol.

A lot of shows used to end by catching the villain, but then next episode they'd be back again. Villains run out of town will always come back and The villains sent to jail will always brake out.

Doesn't matter that the darkness was banished and Kaos is helping u out at the moment. All that's easily fixed.
