Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Not in Stock …
Tanks, “Carl P.” for the photo. Not surprised, when CAS sell out, the pegs of other toys not seling as well start moving in-merging in … 🙁
It doesn’t look great in the near term …
Bank of America reports congestion at West Coast ports is back with a vengeance. Ships at anchor in the Los Angeles/Long Beach Bay waiting to dock and unload have climbed to 21 container ships from 12 before the 4th of July holiday in an indication that a return to a smooth supply chain could take longer than anticipated.
In reaction, Union Pacific has told customers it will halt all shipments of international containers from West Coast ports to its main Chicago intermodal terminal for up to a week to clear a backlog. UP noted the terminal is clogged given labor shortages and pandemic-related restrictions which slowed unloading and loading of containers at customer facilities.
BofA, “While we initially expected capacity tightness to persist through at least the summer, we see this tightness lasting through year-end, which is supportive to our stronger for longer pricing theme for truckers.”
So, at least we have toilet paper now …

My closest Walmart does not even have enough inventory–of any toy item–to do this. The department is mostly just empty shelves/pegs. I did just pick up wave 1 of the Endurance Racers at the store (exactly 1 year after their release…)
I have found a fair amount of Endurance Racers, a few NASCAR’s and a good line up of haulers across several Walmart’s. Haven’t found any mainline singles, 2-Packs, or deluxe’s at any of them. 🙁
Well, that is at least a little encouraging. I suppose they trickle out here and there when a shipment comes.
Honestly, I have been very happy with what I have been able to find so far this year. There are still several I hope to find, but I won’t lose any sleep if I don’t.
I’ve seen the same thing to one degree or another at my local Walmarts here in Wisconsin.
Maybe next year will be better? :/
