Is there a single DCPI for the line as opposed to the ones for each figure?

It would be pretty easy to set limits on the registers and self checkout. I just doubt Target does this. Afterall they are in the business of selling product. They don't care to who.
This is actually a really great point -- though I don't know of any stores that do this for any product. And what would happen? It would alert an employee or something?

It's possible. I just don't know if they would actually care to do it for toys. But during the early months of the pandemic, stores like Shop Rite put limits on items such as bottled water, toilet paper and cleaning supplies where there was a limit per customer and if you tried to buy more the self check out would lock up until an employee came to put in a passcode to unlock the register. |

I saw Walmart do this with toilet paper at some point as well. I don’t think they’d do it with something like toys, they don’t even care enough to keep them stocked |

I saw Walmart do this with toilet paper at some point as well. I don’t think they’d do it with something like toys, they don’t even care enough to keep them stocked I agree. Toys don't seem to be a big priority for Walmart and Target anymore...well, not wrestling figures, let's put it that way. If wrestling figures were a priority, you would think at this point that these stores would be receiving more than ONE CASE at a time, weeks - sometimes MONTHS - without getting anything. Mattel has had the WWE license since 2010. Target and Walmart don't have enough data to show that these items are in demand? The first 6 months of AEW figures hasn't made it clear enough how in demand these items are? Issues with getting product to shelf existed loooong before COVID, too. Now I understand that Target and Walmart couldn't care less about who buys this stuff. It could be little kids, or it could be some adult eBay scalper buying everything...sales are sales are sales. These are companies that care only about the bottom dollar and their profit margin. But from a sales perspective, you would think that they would NOT want the wrestling sections in ALL OF THEIR STORES to be as empty as they are ALL OF THE TIME. It's a bad look. I think at this point, if I was a Target or Walmart store, I could order multiple cases of WWE Elites and AEW figures at a time with CONFIDENCE that these figures are going to sell, and sell FAST. But instead it's like "hey, we'll get one case every 4 month and y'all can just fight over them". |

Right now everyone is in Jeremy’s mentions crying about not being able to find Unrivaled. But we know that a lot of the blame lies on Walmart because Jazwares have started correcting their half of the problem. If Amazon gets these in and people are able to buy them without scalp bots getting them all, people will be mad at the stores (like they are with normal WWE) instead of Jeremy. |

Amazon getting AEW figures would be a game changer. They seem to be the smoothest online retailer in terms of selection, supply, and successful rate of fulfillment. If Walmart and Target can't straighten out their in store stock, they should AT LEAST make an attempt to step up their online presence in making sure that items are available online for easy purchase. It's inexcusable that figures go up on Walmart.com and Target.com and sell out within seconds. These stores should stock these items, ESPECIALLY their own exclusives and have pre-order windows so that everyone has a chance. Yesterday was a step in the right direction as AEW Series 2 was stocked multiple times throughout the day on Target.com and a lot of people on here, including myself were successful in purchasing them, but there were also a lot who were not successful, and each time the figures went up they were gone within a minute. This needs to be corrected so that purchasing an item is not such a difficult task. |

This is really interesting -- thanks. I didn't realize stores did it during COVID during check-out -- I thought it was because they were just having employees watch. Interesting -- but like you said, obviously they'll never care enough to do it about toys.

Every retailer that I know of did it during the beginning of the pandemic. Retailers are facing decisions now because there are afraid of upsetting anyone due to increased competition, already frustrated customers due to pandemic, and social media. Most like to keep restrictions low so they don't upset anyone. There are certain states that don't allow limits on items also.
