Are stores over ordering?

[~*Young $ Money*~]

Now when Basic 1 came out they flew off shelves everywhere. Basic 2 came out you saw a few here and there warming shelves but not too many, now we get Basic 3 and 4 and i walk into TRU and the shelves are PACKED with Basic 3. I mean Mickie's everywhere and she is one per case so how many cases did they get for cryin out loud?Now Basic 4 is a littel there and here mixed in but now with Basic 5 comin out i think they will barely make shelves. Same with Elite. Elite 1 was a big seller then 2 had a shelfwarmer in Ted and now 3 has Rhodes all over not makin room for series 4.

Probably, happens at my stores here too
Literally everytime I go to TRU, I still see WWE DA Matt Striker figs from Jakks... so sad...
Or maybe the un-popular ones aren't being bought, being left to sit on the shelves

Durn, I haven't seen a single Mickie in stores

I had to get mine from online.

And yet to see one in stores! Dang, wish I saw another one, I'd probably get it to keep moc.

[Searching for a Former Clarity]

My TRU and Target are loaded with Mickie as well, I'm glad I waited on it.
I was wondering the same about how many cases TRU could of possibly ordered but is there a chance that the case numbers changed for another wave possibly?
I feel that stores (TRU especially), didnt order alot at first because they wanted to get rid of Jakks and now they are carrying more not just because Jakks need to be off the shelf now (wasnt it july 1st I think?) but also because they see the demand for the Mattel and how fast they sell.
I'd rather see over ordering than under ordering, I just hope they dont eventually under order because no one is buying the rest of basic 3. At any rate, Walmart and Target have been stellar for me as TRU has been A disappointment with their selection around here and K-Mart is A hit and miss weird store as per usual.

haah my tru haas about 30 mickies

Well around here by the time TRU finally gets a new set it has been selling out at Walmart & Target for the past 2 months. So that might have something to do with it.

[*Ye@h B@by*]

Well, my closest TRU is sadly 2hrs away so I don't get to go there hardly any so that one could have like 20 Mickies and I wouldn't know

I want to go back to TRU but it doesn't happen much at all.

[cavillac]

I want the Walmarts around me to have bonfires outside with all the unsold Basic 2 CM Punks.

[mikey1974]

yeah,Basic 3 especially,and some Basic 4 are pegwarming big-time at the 2 TRU's in NEPA ...Survivor Series,too,for that matter....

here in Hazleton,it's Basic 4...i mean,there's like 3 Zigglers on the pegs - and they just brought out another case today....

i think,what we have here,is a situation where most stores ordered a bit conservatively with the first few series of everything,only to see the pegs get wiped out within 2 days....so,for the later series (hitting the last 2 months or so) they ordered significantly more than originally,leading to the overflowing of pegs....all this will do is slow down the rate at which newer stuff will hit the pegs,and cause them to once again start ordering conservatively....which,will AGAIN,lead later on to smaller amounts in stores,and pegs being wiped out of newer stuff quicker,leading to once again ordering more than they can actually sell out...the vicious cycle has begun!

mine are under ordering!!

[Deleted]

yeah my kmart told me they will soon discount the price from 15 aud which is about 20 usd
to 4 aud which is 6 usd

[punksnotdead]

The Target I go to pretty much every day has 6 Mickie James sitting on the shelf. I actually counted on Tuesday because I was annoyed at how many they had. Its a full peg of Mickie, one Orton, one Khali and the a couple Basic 4 figures. Even more annoying are the 4 Ted Jrs., 3 Cody Rhodes, and 2 Santinos which are the only Elites they have. They just got in a peg of RR but those have been at every WM around here for a month.

I went to TRU today and they just restocked on Basic 3 and got in one case of Legends. Basic 3 that had been sitting on the pegs for a month untouched might I add. Why would they get more? So yes, I would definitely say that TRU over ordered as a result of not having enough of Basic and Elite 1 and 2.

[LaParka]

my local tru has about 30 Mickies. I think it might have been revision cases because there are very few sheltons or undertakers. i've seen cases of basic 3 that had 3 mickie, orton, jericho, khali and out of that all Mickie and Jericho are the most plentiful, they could have easily gotten 8-10 cases of that asst in and then some of the regular asst with mickie at 1 per case. Basic 3 could be the worst selling set out of everything so far.

I wish they'd do that with the Legends here, Mikey

[mmondrag96]

im having the same problem here too but we havent even seen series 4 in basic or elites yet

[marino13]

Well the Mickie's could be shelf warming because of her release? Gotta save money somehow ya know?

[rey619mysterio]

around here guys that are shelf warming are elite 2 ted, elite 3 cody and hbk, basic 4 hbk, goldust, and regal
a lot of the RR and EC figs that we got arent moving off the shelves at all either

[mikey1974]

the pegwarmers i see in NEPA are:

Basic: Mickie James, Jericho,Orton,Goldust,Regal,MVP,Hardy

SS: Cena,Undertaker,Kofi

Elite: DiBiase,Rhodes,Santino,The Miz,occassionally Christian

2-Packs : Dreamer/Christian,Horny/Chavo, Edge/Big Show, Rhodes & DiBiase

[ricflair4ever]

Aside from that repack case of older 2 packs and E2 Ted DiBiase,NOTHING, not even Flex Force pegwarms here. The first wave of Entrance Greats did for about 5 months but now there are none to be had. And series 2 has yet to show up
