Updated Inventory on Ann. single packs and vehicles from Target

kennywr22 · 04-21-2008, 06:43 PM

I thought i'd give everyone a heads up on the current inventory numbers in the system at Target as of today. First the vehicles. They are about 9,000 eaches at the stores with about 3,000 lefted to send out to stores. So basically we are looking at about 12,000 eaches left in total inventory which i think is incredible seeing how they have sold through 38,000 eaches in just one week from the release date.( i know alot were sold before that). Now on the more depressing news. There are only about 4,000 eaches of single packs currently in stores with only about 400!! left to send out from the warehouse. This means of course that Target hasn't even recieved any new waves yet to even send out to stores. So even at best we are looking at 2 to 3 weeks at the earliest before new single packs, which really sucks. That is the news for now. I hope you all found this news useful. Any questions feel free to ask and i will try to find out.

Kind of depressing knowing that target is not going to be getting GI Joes for close to probably a month or two

Eaches means each piece. Such as a case of vehicles has 3 eaches in it. As the single packs have 8 eaches in them. I really don't understand why Target hasn't been even more aggresive about uping there orders on the single packs or even why they don't up the OTL's on them. THat means the order to level. Like my store started at a OTL of i believe 24. So that means in theory that any time my store drops under 24 eaches they are automatically ordered. Now my store has droped to an OTL of 16 which is absurd seeing how we are an volume aa store which sells out of them the same day. I've noticed that this has dropped in many other stores also. I urge everyone to complain to there targets that they never have the stuff in stock and tell the managers enough time and they can e-mail this to higher level and change this so we can start seeing more product.

Every time I receive one of those Target surveys/contest entry forms at the checkout lanes, I go home, go online and fill out the survey. There is a page where they ask if there is a product they should be carrying. I always tell them to order more 25th Joes there. Hopefully if more people do that, the point will come across. The fact that the things sell incredibly well should be enough, but sometimes those stores need to be hit in the head with a 2X4.

Thanks for the information kenny, valuable and informative as always. This is surprising. I knew collectors like us were buying the vehicles, but that much in one week? Damn!!! Just think if more were on shelves, even more sales!

Spring is known as a dry season for toys, so maybe thats why the OTL is down, but it shouldn't be for a line like this. I'm still surprised that its hard to find nearly a year after its initial launch. I keep hoping it will be easier to find stuff, but thats only happened with the comic packs. Even then, when those sell out, they take a while to replenish.
