Mattel can thank themselves for that, or thank Francesco and Finn… and Zen Master.
Maybe Mattel just doesn’t care. There was a piece on NPR the other day about Monster High, Mattel is just so proud of themselves for that product line that I guess they suppose they are made of awesome.
My Target is terrible. There’s one set of four pegs going up and down for singles, one set for two-packs, one set for deluxes, and one set for Planes, and one set for the Stunt Racers, and one for the Micro Drifters, I’m pretty sure.
My local Target actually increased the Cars/Planes peggings,
and replaced the center display where Superman was with all
Planes singles and box sets. In fact I came across a lone “Bravo”
single.
Another chain, Meijer Stores are late to the display market, but
again, another large endcap was setup with the price/peg markers…
but no product yet.
Many of the Targets which I have visited recently have had the pegs reduced due to adding Planes in the same space. We’ll see what happens after the summer reset in a couple of weeks.

Happening at Target… happening at Walmart… happening at Meijer… happening at Kohl’s… already happened at Kmart… happened at Toys R US.
Not the kind of consistency collectors want to see.

The only difference at my closest Target is simply one peg gone of singles, which is where the Planes are.
Well of course they’re shrinking– no one ever cleared out the Porto Corsa singles. That Target is (was) just a Picker’s Paradise.
