>>>>>>>>>>>>> I think the declining toy market was talked about in a thread last year. Walmart and Target have surpassed Toysrus when it comes to selling toys. Didn't Walmart decided to drop Gundam? This might have contributed to killing off the US Gundam toy market. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Wal-Mart and Target obviously have radically smaller toy sections than Toys R Us. The reason I think both shops surpassed TRU is the convenience factor. A parent can do Christmas shopping for their whole family in one store and get it over with. They just go for the most common generic toys which are readily available at these general purpose stores. -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
