Merch turnover rate?

[ManaMinori 4,145]

How do you guys feel about mlp merch and its turneover rate in stores? I know certain things are seasonal, but it feels excruciatingly slow to leave the shelves, to me. And then there's stuff from way back when, like cutie mark magic, older model Funko's, etc. I hae going to browse aisles and never seeing anything new and exciting.

 

Should turnover rate of mlp merch be faster? Slower? Should more merch be getting made to offer more variety on the shelves?

I think it's going at a decent speed. Walmart and Target are horrible at turnovers but Hot Topic and Barnes and Noble have a pretty good turnover rate!

those are the two I visit most, and yes indeed, turnover is midnumbingly excruciating.

Hot Topic....hn...haven't gone in a while, but the pony stuff they have online all looks the same as 6 months back, or more. Hardly anything new. B&N is probably the fastest, since they get new books and stuff, along with the toys and collectibles

I find this to be a issue mainly with Walmart, where they are always behind. Target has been better in this regard from my experience, having a few new things here and there when I go there. Granted I don't go there often so there is a decent gap but it is still better than Walmart.

Well, I honestly don't mind seeing older stuff on store shelves. I'm a big collector, and when I can't buy everything at once and need to go back another time, it's really helpful seeing older merch still for sale. I'm still trying to complete the Cutie Mark Magic blind bag wave, and since my local Wal-Mart still has them, I'm able to keep getting the ones I'm missing.
