Geez, again just highly subjective rubbish imho. no factual support.
"Australia's most expensive Kickstarter project" - just on what basis can you claim that? just a Bait!
"Initial sales primarily came from curiosity factor and nostalgia feel good" - not in USA
"Once paid for people recognise they are paying a lot for it"- rubbish, Walmart US$2.98 and Kmart A$3.00. Yow are competitive with Kinders imho, because more choco, better toys and collectible.
"Once consumed it tastes not very good"- rubbish, even in Aust the choc taste is OK. Everyone I have spoken to likes the taste. So subjective wrt taste. How many millions Yows sold? No poisoned bodies in Walmart aisles yet!
"Once open its quite mindlessly boring"- again bull...t. The Yow are, and have proven to be, eminently collectible. That's just unsubstantiated Baiting.
"Then once considered, it is overpriced"- and bull.... Walmart US$2.98 and Kmart A$3.00. Yes I have seen them at A$4.98 in seaside NSW, but they still sell. YOW told me they cannot dictate a max price, so it is up to individual store to set price. But even at A$4.98 that store was selling plenty! Why is petrol $1.37 p/l at one servo, and I literally go around corner and it is $1.04 p/l??
"Repeat sales, ongoing, meaningful repeat sales, were never going to be strong for this" - again unsubstantiated rubbish. more Baiting. Repeat sales - Walmart is still reordering, albeit at a slightly lower level- but it is Walmart which initiated Discovery World product, and it is Walmart which is pushing for more series to be released each year.
"China, we're going to China!. I rang a 7/11 store in Beijing and we struggled at first but through the confusion I heard him say yowie, yes, yes we stock yowie" -- again just mindless drivel - designed to Bait.
We KNOW the SP is crap! We should be able to discuss the situation without being baited continuously.
Have a negative opinion, but just provide reasoned opinions. The above posts are just rubbish.
There is simply no purpose to a Non-Holder continually and incessantly posting unsubstantiated material, other than to flame or bait others.
What an indictment of the downside of HC, when these threads are commandeered by 3 or 4 posters whose sole purpose is to Flame and Bait.
The Yow forum used to be informative, and worth reading.
But now it is ruined.
Have a look at the number of posts now. One would think that now SP is dismal, that the debate would be numerous and constructive.
3 or 4 non-holders who get their jollies by baiting others, ruin a forum previously favoured by probably 100 others. That's not what HC is here for.
Now all we get is incessant rubbish posts --- ALL DESIGNED TO BAIT and FLAME.
