you really think that thousands of ppl across multiple industries throughout the world all just decided to use covid to be lazier? ?
And its not that safe social distancing slows down production, which is a warranted and acceptable reason for empty pegs right now?

Indeed it is true

But that doesnt change the fact that buyers for big retailers dont want to take the chance of taking up that kind of space, at that price point, for fear they may not sell. They dont look at direct funded ventures like Haslab and assume itll mean sales for them. One thing above all else is they are ridiculously cheap.

Big box stores dont like to carry something that large and that expensive unless its something like a bike or power wheels.
Shelf space is at a premium, especially with toysrus gone, so to manage costs the big box stores wouldve demanded a smaller size or lower price point, which couldve ruined it. Also given Haslabs infrequency, I dont think its holding up normal production that much at all.
