Agreed, but I didn't think it was an apples to apples comparison, nor do I think I said it was. If it seemed that I implied that, then mea culpa. But I do think you can extrapolate some info based on what you see in store, (and in this case several stores in a decent sized area) including, but not limited to comparing other items, even if they are not direct comparisons. You would expect NECA and Ducktales to be doing better than Mego, no doubt, but I wouldn't necessary want it to be such a wide breadth in sales. To me, I'm seeing some red flags, but I certainly don't want to argue about it or make it seem like I'm trying to poo-poo the line. Lord knows I've been championing it in lots of places and trying to push the merits of Mego's comeback as a whole.
I hope my rather gloomy predictions are wrong, but I do see several trends developing at the local level that eerily match other lines, including Target exclusive ones, that went about the way I described in the past. Of course even really good scientific and concrete data can be wrong when predicting the future, so I realize my local observations and trend following has plenty of birth to be wrong. Only time will tell. I appreciate the input.
