Why can't they just set a release date like they do with dvd's? I missed POC by 1 day. Target had the toy dept completely ripped apart all week. The day after I stopped in they loaded up with all the new toys. Now it's all gone. That means 2 things,
1. all the stuff I wanted was in the back when I was there & 2 as usual they didn't get enough in stock for everybody in the area. I was thinking, it would be so much better if they would just set a date like they do with dvds & video games. Every store across the board could stock up enough for everybody & they could all put it out on the same day. So why can't they do that? They do it when a new movie comes out like Star Wars so they can do it. So why do they do it the way they do? They way they do it now is so half-assed & disorganized. I just don't have the patience for this shit anymore. I don't understand how you guys can stand it. |

This^
Most Targets that didn't finish the reset, have them in back. They won't bring them out for you or stock them until the Joe aisle is reset. Yesterday, an employee at a Target (that didn't have them in stock), printed out a list of stores in the area that did have them in stock. I went to all the stores, none of them had either finished resetting the Joe aisle or even started resetting any of the toy section. I asked employees to look them up, they said they had them in back, but refused to look for them and bring them out for me. Every store fed me the same bulls**t line, "there on pallets with shrink wrap in the back, its impossible to find them, come back in a couple days."

Went to Walmart after 9:00 on 7-31-2010. I'm doubting they'll have POC out on the shelf tomorrow. The aisle wasn't set for it. No opening. Still on peg wide area for overpriced ROC.
Oh well. If they don't show up in a few days then I'll go online and order what I want. I would like to buy them in the store. I like it better that way. Just ole skool like that. |

you do realize that people post the skus + upcs etc so that you can call the store and give them the number to check stock or if it's on the shelf etc. even without the info you can always call ahead.

movies get released once and are hardly restocked until they are sold down, and then restocked with the identical items. toylines get released continuously and are continuously restocked, but with new items. see the difference between the items? if you do, the reason why they don't have release dates becomes obvious. but I'll spell it out for you.
what good is a release date when it would only apply to the first few cases that are stocked. after that, the release date is gone and you are back to trying to guess when they will be stocked, so the release date serves no purpose other than for the first few people that buy it because toys aren't stocked in the quantity as dvd's, so how would that help you if you don't get them and have to wait for the un-dated restock? it doesn't, and since you are in the same boat with the restock with an initial stock with date as you are with a initial stock without a date, it serves no purpose. now, I can predict the next stupid question. why don't they release more of the initial waves right off the bat? if that really sounds like a reasonable question to you, see the repercussion of the first couple of ROC waves and come back to me. very few toylines can carry such a large initial order that would be necessary for a stock date to be useful, so a stock date serves no purpose. this couldn't be any simpler. |
