Hi everyone
To anyone who works for Walmart (or anyone who is familiar with their toy ordering system), what are the specific order numbers/codes for POC waves 5 and 6? Is it based on UPC or assortment number or wave number? I ask because I am trying to get my local Walmart toy department to order more of the latest waves (5 and 6) but they just keep reordering wave 3 (unintentionally, it seems)! So, what number(s) can be used to specifically order POC waves 5 and 6? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide! |

Also, I called my Wal Mart today and they told me the reason the some WalMarts are getting Joes and others are not, is because the Walmarts getting Joes are test stores. Basically, the Walmarts without Joes are looking to see if the Walmarts with Joes are selling good. If they do, then the others will follow and order some Joes. Is that true??? If so, please show Joe some love if your Walmart carries them so the other Walmarts can start carrying them too.

Is there any way to request that the stores without the joes order them? I live near 6 Walmarts and I have only seen one of them (the one that is a bit out of the way for me) reset with the POC joes. I was able to pick up the POC Viper, but have concerns that I will not be able to find other figures. Any ideas or suggestions?

I work at WM as well, ordering is useless, they can finalize orders and the companies just never send it to us.
Toys I'm sure are on a pos system and I am sorry but high up managers will tell you anything to make you feel warm and happy and department managers are usually clueless and not well informed by any higher ups about anything. Most toy dm don't know what anything in their department is. |

Take a upc to the toy department supervisor to see if it is in the store's system to order. It can get complicated, if it is not. Stores are "traited" by local demographics to determine what products each store will carry. The Store Manager has to get approval through their Market Manager to get there trait changed. A lot of times changes don't get approved. When they do get approved, it can take months.
