When Stores Get New Stuff?

[The Darth Vader]

Hi, I was just writing to see if any of you guys know when the stores will get a new shippment of Star Wars SAGA figures. 'cause everytime I go there most of the mint carded were either taken by collectors or worse... the scalpers. So I want to see if any of you hardcore collectors can tell me when the stores get new shippments of the new figures or restocks. Stores such as Target, WM, K-Mart, TRU...etc. Thanks!

Well, when I go to TRU and KB Toys, I ask the employees (usually managers) when they are expecting shipments. They tend to restock the shelves for the morning after the shipment arrives, so that's when I usually go. Sometimes I'm lucky and the figs are still in their cases, and I can look through them myself. However, I usually just check periodically at Walmart, TRU, and KB Toys for new arrivals. Sometimes I hit the jackpot, and others, well, you know.....

kb toys gets their shipments on friday afternoon and put it out for saturday morning,toys r us gets two to three trucks a week,and walmart gets truck every day but star wars twice a week hope that helped

My Wal-Marts get toys on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Whether they put them out is another thing.

Not all stores have the same shippents days.. just gotta ask the manager.

I don't think that is correct. There has been weeks that my store gets nothing, and then all of a sudden in 3 days straight we get in a few SW thing. There is not set arrival time for SW stuff. It comes to us as it gets sent from Hasbro.

well the stores around here get them that way

In my personal experience i would rank these stores as follows, from up to date to same ol' pegwarmers: Kay Bee, Wal Mart, Toys R Us, and Target. Target seems to me the worst place to look for new stuff in my area.
