I wonder if Hasbro and Disney are giving Kmart a pass since the chain is in significant financial trouble?
I think people are making too big a deal about Sears/K-Mart's financial solvency and how this impacts exclusives. This is just a standard vendor relationship between Hasbro and Sears/K-Mart.
If Hasbro is worried about getting paid due to bankruptcy they just build that in to the invoice policies - e.g. 30 days net, some elements of pre-payment, or preferential treatment in a bankruptcy through bond notes.
And this is just one SKU out of a likely 1000 that Hasbro sells to Kmart. Why would they treat a Jyn figure differently than Play-Doh?
Keep in mind that TRU is no paragon of financial solvency. They've closed hundreds of stores, were swimming in losses and bought through a leveraged buy-out by Bain, are rumored to continue to lose massive amounts of money, and has their current bond status listed as junk.
Both K-Mart/Sears and TRU are a financial mess and may not exist in another five years, but I don't think that should stop Hasbro from selling exclusive or regular products to them.
I'm generally annoyed when I can't track down exclusives I want, and KMart ones can be tricky as their locations are limited, but so are TRU locations. Kmart has done a decent job of offering these online and getting enough stock to the market that there doesn't seem to be a significant premium to acquiring these in the secondary market.
