D&D General Ollie’s has Campaign Cases for $3 and Warriors of Krynn for $10

I don't expect anyone went "under" or out of business. I expect it's big retailers like Wal-Mart or Target realizing they over-ordered stock and need to get them out of warehouses.
Which does reflect somewhat on how well the individual items are selling/not selling.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have cases of the same model of an action figure. If it was a single store that went out of business, one Ollies would have 5-6 of the same item. In this case, it's nearly every Ollies in North America having cases and cases of the same model.

Both Target and Walmart shuttered dozens of stores this year. So did several other companies that could carry these products (the drug stores carry action figures and board games).

More than 2,800 stores are closing across the US in 2023. Here's the full list.

Rite Aid plans to close 154 drugstores, and at least 20 major retail chains, including its rival CVS, are shutting locations in 2023.

So, we don't really know where the stock came from.

Deep discount stores have existed for the entire life of Hasbro.

Note to folks these are good for pathfinder and other tactical games.

While appearing at a liquidator doesn't mean that a product was a failure, I have a hunch that in this case it does. There never seemed to be any enthusiasm for these products anywhere I usually see people talk about D&D stuff.

They flooded Gameholecon as soon as people found them. For a dm that needs portability they are fantastic.

Yes, and Google tells me the closest one is only 727 miles away. I think I might swing by after work today...

Oh, I adore it. I go to random ones and get the books; I got the only Jewish religious preapocalyptic thriller (like End of Days but Jewish!) I've ever seen, and a nice Van Gogh coffee table book my mom adores. And, of course, dirt cheap.

The nearest Ollie is an hour away. Very tempted to drive up there and check bc I would definitely pick up several at that price. But damn it sure would be disappointing to get there and then not have it.

I think I have found my new favorite store.

Here were the many boxes of Warriors of Krynn and the Campaign Cases

I also filled my cart with a ton of other cheap stuff I needed like thermal socks and underwear, a small nonstick skillet, scented candles, some board books for my daughter, and more!

And finally here is the D&D stuff when I got it home. Two copies of the game (one for me and one for a friend) and four campaign cases (two terrain cases for me, and one creatures and one terrain for a friend who recently started DMing)
