I feel like I personally would want those in order to ensure success... One major one that I am missing here is ULTIMATE distribution which handles A LOT of the really popular brands like Toy Machine, Bones, Rocco brands, DGK, Magenta. They seem to be the biggest one. I also would have to forego Grand Trading which does Polar, Last Resort, Quasi, GX1000, Pass Port, Frog, Isle - a lot of really cool smaller brands.
My reasons for choosing this, I feel like those brands have staying power. I also think if you choose ULTIMATE you are competing a lot more against Zumies, and if you are choosing grand trading you are competing more against core shops. I just want to try something a little different. I also think my area maybe not ready for the real core stuff, we need a bridge.
