On my week's leave from work (last week) and into this week (in the hope of finding new cars), I visited as many stores as possible (on my travels) to see what the current situation was/is. I asked a few questions. From those that appeared to know what was going on (at stores with little or no stocks), I was told that Mattel reported that they didn't have any cars in their warehouse and stocks would only be replenished where there is 'sufficient' demand. Sainsburys, Tesco and some ASDA have plenty of the fourth case (959L) and don't look to be in any position to order new stocks anytime soon. Morrisons, certainly ones in my area and just beyond are completely dry and have taken the Cars tickets down from the shelves and trays! One store near me has just ordered ten cases of Cars singles. It'll be interesting what Mattel report back to them.
If only Morrisons (500 cases) and a few other stores / groups ordered 500 cases (collectively) that may not be enough to warrant an order (of 2 cases x 2,000) just yet.
From what I have seen, I believe that there are more than 2,000 of the 959L cases out there. That case may not have sold well in Europe and Mattel Europe may well have dumped their overstocks at Mattel UK's doorstep once again?
With at least Tesco having a sale, there's a little hope they might reorder?
TRU are OD'd on 2015 stock!
