Store report: Smyths Toys Super Stores

Dresden, Germany

They actually got two new Clone Troopers on pegs! Looks like Hasbro is going back to basics with Star Wars and SmythsToys only order the basic characters that certainly sell:

CLEARANCE





STAR WARS

The section for Star Wars is siginificantly smaller now:








Obviously both Clone Troopers sit on the wrong peg:





Two Mandos on the shelf at the same time. The cooler one with Jetpack is 5€ cheaper though...oh boy.





LEGO




75% under MRSP...ouch!



Jurassic World:



HotWheels

So the sets are in fair shape considering they're over a decade old and who knows where they come from and where they have been stored all these years.
The seller claims he bought them for a high price as well so his profit is  very limited.
If he writes me something like this I suppose he got them for free somewhere in an old warehouse in China with old, not dispatched/forgotten products. 

I wonder if the factories keep some amount of products they make for guarantee reasons. A decade of keeping them in stock makes sense to me if there's any claim by customers.


Interesting to note here is, that both boxes were packed by the same person even though I bought them from two different sellers.
I know because the stuffing for both shipments make two complete boxes:









The content of both boxes combined make the packaging of two Hasbro figures:





I have to admit they were packed tightly, but still well.

This page of jokes made me laugh a good lot even though some of them are rather dark.
That concept of Lucas World is a dream!

That is an awesome find Dan. How many did you get?

Off to share on the front pages.
