emmers Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 My last Tumbler on order arrived today from Target. I have no idea how they got the Tumbler into this box. I had to cut it out of the box. I was expecting a beat to hell box based on what others had been saying, but mine came in minty fresh with good seals. 34R5. Shipped from the Horsham, PA distribution if that helps anyone.

trekgate502 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think we had noted that inventory had dropped like over a thousand or something at one time like an inventory adjustment Perhaps they put a few thousand in reserve of the five thousand they now have on distributed release on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryZola Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not sure what's going on with The Tumbler in Smyths stores in the UK. For the past week or so it was saying available in stores or for delivery from the 15th Jan - 22nd Jan. I've been in 4 different Smyths stores over the past couple of days and no stock at all and no definite date (given to me) for arrival in stores. The date on the website for delivery and in stores has now changed to 26th-29th Jan also. Who knows if they will actually ever get any more in............. I'll keep checking sporadically though, as I'm guessing many others probably are but without broadcasting the fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We´ve seen that with Amazon before too. Sometimes you get lucky as some of us did with Fallingwater last year, but mos often the orders get cancelled as fulfilling Smyths toys backorders is probably not very high on TLG production manager´s to do list.

So I ordered one, we'll see what turns up. I'm expecting it's a return. However customer service assured me they would be getting some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Probably popping up again due to returns. You could get lucky with a nice box, but the percentages from Target have not been good, especially when you're picking up scraps at the end.

This was one of those great moments where the heavens open up and I go "duh why didn't I think of that". Sound advice Jules, I'll send the kit off tomorrow.
