Hello friends,
Last week I received a ton of DMs and comments about a specific SKU that went on sale on Walmart. This particular SKU was one I had mentioned in an article ten months ago as a toy to keep a close eye on, so I think a lot of people were curious if I was making my entry point.
The most common question I got was,
“Is it time to buy?”
I told everyone, “No.”
But I just had 400 units delivered to my warehouse…
I didn’t lie to the people who inquired - that’s just how fast things change during holiday sales.
So I felt this would be a great full circle teaching moment - a SKU where I can show you guys my thought process from when the SKU released, all the way to the 400 units that arrived at my doorstep today, ten months later.
In this 25-minute video, I ramble about the idea of ‘keeping a close eye’ on this SKU, as well as the multiple moments it went on sale prior and why I didn’t pull the trigger until a few days ago. I touch on some sourcing strategies, sourcing mindset, and really try to drive home the idea that we aren’t necessarily just looking for good toys or good prices - we’re looking for good opportunities. There’s a difference.
This video goes beyond sourcing for just toys, and should be applicable to all sourcing, especially on Walmart.
Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions.

Great post. Bought 90 of them following almost all of what you said. Was buying them 10 at a time to get 14.5 cashback (cap one). Still waiting for a few others on that list. Bought 40 from Mattel a few months back
