Posted July 2, 200816 yr 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!
July 2, 200816 yr 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 .
July 2, 200816 yr 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:
July 2, 200816 yr 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
July 2, 200816 yr 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

July 2, 200816 yr 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.
July 3, 200816 yr Author I think it's normal.

Hopefully they will get the other ones soon. Thanks for the replies!
July 3, 200816 yr 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.
July 3, 200816 yr 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.
July 3, 200816 yr 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.
