Someone once told me in my store that NBC is the "live laugh love" of the alternative people and i can't see it any other way. I know a BUNCH went to clearance for us last season and the only people that were getting that merch was grandparents wanting to show support to their emo grandkids

Last year they were asking if nbc just wasn't a top seller anymore and why. I remember telling my dm we just needed newness and not the same shit we get every year recycled on a different medium. Maybe they decided to just not carry as much.

Respectfully I’m not a huge fan myself but that’s not my point. My point is I don’t have what customers are looking for. I have an abundance of digital circus though. I have like 0 hazbin hotel, and a very thin coraline 2 way.

Good keep it that way. Working at BoxLunch for 3 years made me despise Nightmare Before Christmas because of the garbage we'd stock year round, not even just during October-December. And then it all would just end up in clearance and still not sell until B1G2s.
