Plan to get some new planes in your area.

Post by KAMIKAZE » Wed Feb 01, 2006 11:06 am

A lot of you guys out there are complaining about not seeing any new planes in your area. I just tested a theory of mine to see if it would work. Like you, I don't like driving for miles to find a new plane that I want. Try this. It works! Find a store that has a glut of FW-190s buy 2-4 of them. Take the planes to a store out in the boonies that is out in the country. Save your reciept and the store will give you cash back. You local stores
pos systems sees this as a sale and will
reorder stock (new planes). This is automatic (toy managers have nothing to do with this). I tested this with 3 stores that never had any new
planes. Since the warehouse had no more 190s they new planes! The same works with figures. The store has only so much cubic display space so they don't reorder if there is no room. That is the reason for the box
problem with the Avenger. Clear out your stores guys and when the Avenger comes the computer at your local store will show empty shelves. Like I said I did this at three different stores and all three of them had new planes within 2 days. Try it and tell me how you do. Worst case scenario is that your shelves will be empty of planes that you didn't want anyway

Interesting idea. I guess I could try it in my area, but the downside is that they would probably restock with S1 BF-109Gs :?

Then again, one store in my AO did get some new Stukas and Corsairs...

I got rid of the FW190s in my area and got back Seeman BF-109Gs and both F-104s. We also just got in truckloads of weapons carriers. Give it a try .

Maybe one person here can act as our "Birthday Boy" and we will save the fuel money of driving to the Out of The Way Wally, send all of our non-desireable stuff to him and he can return it to 1 store. Then Wally will see what is really overstock. Our "Birthday Boy" can just say he got them as gifts and these are the duplicates :shock:

Kami. has an interesting theory. Last week I found four vehicles I hadn't seen before. Two WC-51's and two Humvees (one hard and one soft top). I bought three and left one hard top Humvee because I don't empty shelves, I like to leave something for the one or two other 1/18 guys in my AO.

I'll check back in the next few days and see if Wally restocked with something that wasn't there last week.

Thanks TTT. I'll bet those shelves fill up again (provided the warehouse has stock). 8)
