1:18 at stores
Is it just me but is 1:18 scale slowly dwindling away. Every time I go to the stores the isles are slowly getting smaller and less toys. maybe its my location. Im in wichita Kansas. I know the toy train line has slowly disappeared, lack of interest I guess what I was told. Hows everyones feelings on this.
Great trade, sell, buy from list-

My wife and I just moved from Wichita. We spent three years stationed at McConnell AFB.aeo178 wrote:Even the kids regular toys are hardley anything. Toys r us shelves are just about empty for any action figures. wonder if its just cleaning house for new stuff?
Wichita is a weird place for purchasing toys, not just 1:18. It's feast or famine, particularly at Toys R Us. If you aren't out in the morning you aren't going to find anything. In order to get anything i had to start making rounds at 7:30AM. Granted the place was so small i could hit every store in an hour on the west side, but still, i hated going out every morning. All i wanted to do was find stuff for my kid too.
If you aren't at TRU on Thursday when the door opens you won't find anything at all.
Best,

Anybody got any data on this?
Stug?
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

POLITICAL CORRECT! thats the words why war toys and guns are hard to find. WM and others have decided not to carry these items. the toy guy at WM told me that managment doesnt want these type of toys in there stores. GIJOE being the exception since they are more fantasy based. aswell as the fact that even joe has become politically correct "new world order" the movie was a joke!
