Steph Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ok, time to show my rookie-ness once again... lol What is an imperial? Japanese? Mostly Chinese, I believe. Imperial is a company which was formed well after Akro went out of business. They distribute toys made elsewhere. Their suppliers have been known to included U.S. makers in the past and other countries, including different Asian countries. But most famously they buy from China.

marblemansion Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 When I was running the Mansion still back a few years ago - I had been in contact with a rep from Imperial Toy Company and was getting ready to place an order with them - when one of the most disheartening things occurred to me. I went down to Walmart - I strolled into the toy section (like I always do) and started looking for marbles - I found they had bags of these Imperials for sale for less than I could get at wholesale....so they were making a profit at less than what I could buy them for....thats when I knew Walmart and me had a bit of difference in our *ahem* "buying power" - lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
