Erdbeereis Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Today I was at Target and they had only 2 of the new Agents sets on the shelf. Is it normal for a store not to have all of the sets in a theme? Do you think that Target will still get the other sets? Maybe they just have not gotten the other ones in stock yet or something... Thanks! Quote
Fluyt Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Some could have been shipped/ordered later, maybe they don't have that much shelf space, or the others are just sold out at the moment . Quote
Shoc Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Today I was at Target and they had only 2 of the new Agents sets on the shelf. Is it normal for a store not to have all of the sets in a theme? Definately. It happens all the time. Well, it does in all the countries I've shopped in (UK, Germany, Holland, Switzerland). Do you think that Target will still get the other sets? Maybe they just have not gotten the other ones in stock yet or something... Maybe, maybe not. :skull: Quote
Norro Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Some stores definitely seem to be considering which sets, at which price points, they want to stock... more than in the past at any rate. God Bless, Nathan Quote
indyj19 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 when i worked for the nightcrew in tru there were sets that just did not sell at all but we had to leave them up there then there are sets that we had no more coming in but the space for them had to be left open with the tag just there it is regulated by corporate on what should be where, some stuff ends up getting packed away in storage and they try and get rid of it during the holiday season Quote

Faramir Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I think it's normal. My local Target has only Missions 2 and 4 right now, but it seems that they usually order the whole rest of a summer series once the January ones sell out. Quote

Hopefully they will get the other ones soon. Thanks for the replies! Quote
Deinonychus Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Target is preparing for their summer re-set of their toy department. This is when older stock is clearenced out and the shelves are rearranged to accommodate new items. I'd expect a lot of the summer LEGO sets to show up in your Target all at once one day soon. What's there now is a sort of teaser endcap. They did the same thing shortly before Christmas this past year as well. Quote
JimBee Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Target is the Number One LEGO store for me. It has lots of it, and its local (unlike TRUs that are miles away). Im sure theyll have a restock soon, they always do for me. Of course, your location also is important. You say you live in the Arctic? If your serious, shipping there might take longer, but i wouldnt know. Just my advice. Quote
Cardinal Brick Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 It’ll depend on a variety of factors I’d expect, size of store, buying trends, the areas demographic etc, or maybe that’s just all that’s arrived at the moment. Quote
