The Star Wars franchise had made a similar mistake decades ago. The release of Star Wars: A New Hope, in the year 1977, was an unexpected success. The franchise had made a deal with Kenner Co. and gave them the exclusive rights to produce the official Star Wars merchandise. However, the firm could not predict the massive success of the movie and the customers that flooded the stores for the Star Wars merchandise. The company managed to make posters, jigsaw puzzles, and board games, but it could hardly meet the demand of the fans for the Star Wars action figures. The company had to come up with a brilliant sales idea to deal with the situation that was at hand. They sold the merchandise with an official certificate, saying that the toys are not out yet but will be before spring.
