Yeah, I hate to say it but Walmart and Target are the primary options in the US and the selection is pretty lame. I read an article not long ago that Mattel had suffered a 26% drop in sales, with Fisher Price and Thomas accounting for much of it. I can’t help but wonder if barely having any product at major retailers could be a significant factor in that.
(I suppose we could touch on the dumpster fire that “Big World...” turned in to or the constant moving the show to different networks might’ve had on the brand but we’ll save that for another thread.)
It’s frustrating for me as a parent with a kid who is still a Thomas fan and Christmas fast approaching that actually finding current toys from this line is such a major hassle.
