I doubt that's unusual. The toys for this Christmas went into the supply chain last summer. Retailers do much of their Christmas buying in January. What's more likely is they are expecting a demand collapse next year.
I wonder if it has anything to do with our declining birth rates?
There are only so many disney adults to make up for it.
Maybe. It's mostly economy driven. Inflation, decline in purchasing power/disposable income.
I'm guessing there is a sales decline going on right now and the execs are looking at the writing on the wall. Their junk is made in China, so the layoffs in the US are developers, buyers, order takers, logistics, etc.
