I don’t have a meijer’s even remotely close to me. However for my Texan friends, HEB Plus usually has a good deal of MCX

I just Googled it, and the closest Meijer's to me is 345 miles away. If there was one close, I would definitely have checked it out.

Unfortunately Mejiers is a Upper Midwest thing exclusively, just like another store that carries a lot; or used to, Fred Meyers, is a Pacific Northwest thing exclusively.

i like how you are willing to be critical of mega, allot of people on here are not willing to respond with their true thoughts thanks for taking the initiativetopnacho wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:41 amLegit question... where am I supposed to buy these products? WM has bailed completely on MCX, while Target, & Kroger have stopped carrying anything except the very smallest sub-$10 Halo and pokemon sets, no CoD whatsoever. In the southeast, we don't have Mejier or HEB. TRU is gone, and Amazon cancels every preorder I place. There is not a single store I can walk into today and buy CoD MCX, and online options seem to be just as sparse (excluding jacked-up third-party sales).
I genuinely don't understand how Mega generates revenue if stores don't carry SKUs and customers cannot buy products. Have they stopped producing them, or is there a giant warehouse in a mountain in colorado housing truckloads of Heroes w5, CoD w4&5, and new CoD Armories? Are we going to see products that didn't make it to B&M stores suddenly flood online stores this fall, or were they just vaporware that will live on only in our imaginations?
I'm truly vexed by the whole situation. How does a company this size lose their meager 30" of space in Walmart? To be clear, I'm not hating on Mega or Mattel. As someone with a business background, I'm genuinely curious how this can be allowed to happen. It seems like that specific linear 30-inches would be the primany focus of any sales and marketing team in North America, 24-7. For it to just vanish seems unthinkable.
I love MCX products. I own FAR more than any adult has a right to. But we can't buy them if they aren't offered for sale. This seems to be a fundamental step that has been forgotten. There has been talk of Mega/Mattel fixing "distribution issues" for YEARS, and yet it seems to only get worse with each passing season. But at this point, there are no distribution issues... because there is no distribution. They can't blame the distribution boogyman if stores aren't carrying the products in the first place.
Someone please, convince me this is going to get better :)

Don’t think we aren’t willing to be critical of Mega. We have voiced our dissatisfaction on more than one occasion about distribution, lack of marines, overflow of Spartans, discrepancies, I could go on.HALx-10 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 11:18 ami like how you are willing to be critical of mega, allot of people on here are not willing to respond with their true thoughts thanks for taking the initiativetopnacho wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:41 amLegit question... where am I supposed to buy these products?

Just because we don’t support your ideas doesn’t mean we think Mega is flawless.
