Toys to Retirement Weekly Wrap-Up #41

Hello friends,

Hope everyone is having a stellar August. The moves we make now will determine how successful our Q4 is going to be.

Are you repricing and killing off your weak inventory? Setting aside cash for the inevitable deals to come? Getting in your final POs on toys you think are going to crush this Q4? Optimizing your storage space and utilization so that you can minimize Amazon’s ridiculous storage fees?

Hopefully all of the above.

Let’s dive into what happened this week.

Walmart CPC Requests Beginning?

Woke up this morning and checked my Settings > Account Hub in Seller Center on Walmart to see this:

The items are NOT unpublished yet, but these requests were not there last night. I have over 700 SKUs listed, so only seeing two requests tells me this is likely going to be a slow rollout.

Check yours and see if anything pops up and please report back!

We definitely have not seen the last of him, and expect him to have a very relevant part in the future of some Marvel characters. If that tickles your fancy, you have until August 26 to order:
