If it were me, I'd put it on the shelves now. If the product is selling through, why wait? You don't magically make more money. You can always make more product.

The lack of product is beyond frustrating. I mean, its stupid! Kids cant even play with Toys anymore. There is NOTHING on the shelves and if you want some stuff you better have 200 bucks while the kid is putting it out or youll never see it again!
Why do people buy from these inflated ebay sellers? Why is there a massive shortage of every single semi popular toy? |

Well, they did these for the Wonder Woman toys. They rotted in the pegs a full year before the movie came out. Doesn't help that the movie sucked but still. Also, the Dune figs have been out for quite some time and have remained on the shelves too while they wait on releasing the movie.

An upcoming movie means prime retail space instead of two pegs. You don’t trickle out a movie tie in. You have a dedicated space with multiple lines, Classified, 5POA, Toy swords. It just makes more sense to hold it back until the movie is released. A lot of people here have an oversimplified perception of the toy industry. I’d recommend SPECTOR CREATIVE, a former Mattel guy, has a lot of great insights on these issues.

Also, figures for the new Dune film? I had no idea!

Nowinstock.net tracker no longer lists the Cobra Island sets. A lot of them were linking to dead links on the Target website, which somehow still prompted viewable pages in the Target app. Not sure if that’s the reason or something else.
Are there any other aggregators out there that list all the product availability in one spot? |

Another Tuesday, another day to wake up to a Target email asking to approve another week-long delay in my Viper!
