I was in TRU last night, doing some Christmas shopping for the nieces and nephews. I glanced over where all the Joes are kept, and the slots were all emptied.
I saw an employee stocking the WWE figures, and asked him if there was a sell on G. I. Joe figures. He replied "not yet, we were told by management to pull off the figs until a BOGO sale on the 24th". I said interesting. The guy seemed a little bit high to me lol. Anyone with any insight or connections at TRU, can you find out any details, or was this guy just tugging my rope?

They're in the business of selling figures. They wouldn't pull them off the floor for a bogo if you can sell them at regular price in the meantime. What would be their incentive? To make sure there were enough for the sale? Do you really think they care? It's not like an ad for black friday where they state a minimum quantity available at store opening.

This seems highly unlikely. I doubt ANY store would pull merchandise off the aisle until they have a sale, especially during the busiest toy shopping time of the year.

Our store always gets stuff for their ads the week AFTER the sale is over. Their distribution sucks. Our store has never pulled merchandise for a sale though. They only hold stuff if it has a street date and sometimes not even then.

NO way would they pull stuff off the shelves to wait for a sale. That's counter-productive for a business. Why cost themselves money?
I can see waiting to restock until after the sale.
