Right now my local Wal-Mart is remodeling. I used to work with the night stock manager for their toy dept at K.B toys for 5 years. She showed me their pallets due for after remodel.
They have 5 cases of wave 9, and 5 cases of wave 8 just sitting on the back on pallets waiting for the friggin' toy aisle to basically exist again. And that's just stuff I have seen quickly. Who knows how much more is buried in there? The toy aisles are totally gone in my Wal-Mart for at least another 15 days before the total reboot. She and I are great friends, and she's hooked me up in the past, but she can't this time because the new plano-gram will not be complete if I go picking thru the cases, and/or just buying 2 or three of the cases right off the bat. I'll end up creating an incomplete plano-gram if I buy them before they hit the pegs and the the District Manager will be pissed to see empty holes in shiny new plano-gram if she lets me clean them outta the figs before peg time. It's annoying, but shows a good future ,I guess, for the store. And at least I know they are back there. Now I'm just saving money and planning my strike. |

So you have an insider at your Wal-Mart? You're pissed because you can't wipe them out before they hit the shelves? You army build named characters, or just want to buy them so you can ebay them? I'd say be patient. First, your Wal-Mart is at least paying attention to their toy section. Second, you have an insider. You can find out the exact moment they are going to start stocking them. I think your "gotta have them all" is safe and sound.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate a bit here
I can totally see why he's a little pissed. He knows the toys are back there and he'd like to get them now. Seriously, what's the difference between this and Target holding the vehicles in the backroom till their set date, or even the supposed rumors of Hasbro holding back stock from the stores. We all get up in arms when we find out a store has toys they can sell but won't, yet because this guy has an inside contact, he's bad? Course if I was in a similar situation, I'd use my contact to find out when the reset date is and wait patiently, knowing that those toys are just waiting for me to buy them |

That's like getting in a huff because my Wal-Mart's delivery truck only arrives once a week. |
