He could have one thing to do with it
So from what we are able to inform it appears Goal will not carry The Classic Assortment going ahead. This doesn’t have an effect on The Black Sequence nonetheless, Goal continues to be investing within the line and even will get unique figures just like the just lately introduced Darth Maul Holocomm determine. However then once more, and it’s one thing some TVC collectors nonetheless don’t wish to consider, The Black Sequence outsells TVC and it seems varied components resulted in Goal not making sufficient cash with TVC.
Victoria’s Cantina has an excellent video on her channel breaking down the various reasons she believes resulted in Target dropping TVC.
