The last 4 months I have seen quite a pullback on the Cars market. Specifically I have noticed the following:
1) Demand for the superchase cars has plummeted significantly. Hiroaki / Takeshi / Yukio - all have gone down considerably. Trike Feldman, while not in the highest supply doesn't seem to have much demand. Long Ge and Flash are no longer the coveted superchase cars.
2) Kids have moved on from Cars to Planes and the demand for toys switched to Planes as well.
3) There hasn't been a Cars movie out for 2.5 years now - so what was once hot is becoming stale.
4) The newer model cars are not main characters and most people don't remember them in the movie. Hiroaki and Takeshi are the perfect example of blink and you miss them in the movie. I have no idea where Trike Feldman is in the movie.
5) Cars that were rare have been re-released by Mattel in 2013 - I felt this hurt the line.
6) A poor case distribution in 2012 led to to overproduction in 2013. So we went from famine to feast and this flooded the stores with new product. For example, there were 7 cases released within 2 months.
Wanted to see what the rest of the community thought here. Are you seeing/feeling the same thing?
