This is more of what I'm thinking if this truly even happens. Like I said, I never saw a single Optic Wally Mega. I did score some blasters and cellos at a few Wallys. So maybe the full run of Optic Wally Megas simply wasn't printed or released for some reason and this is the remainder.

I never found any optic so i'm hoping I can someday get lucky and find some basketball products at retail

I'm pretty sure a large batch was released to Meijer stores in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. As mentioned earlier in the thread, my local meijer store got 9 megas and I'm sure these are the same boxes the Walmarts will receive. No idea what quantity they will get though.

Did anyone else in states with Meijer get any?

I got the 3 Megas that the MJ rep had this past Friday at a Meijer in Wisconsin.

I'm in Michigan and found megas each time I found Optic. Not huge amounts, but at least 3-5 boxes each time.

Southwest Michigan. This was back in January. Haven't found anything in months (haven't really looked much either because COVID).

Someone posted a MJ holdings thing in a FB group that said optic reprint for 7/1

And here i went looking for basketball cards at 2 Meijers and 2 targets today in the Milwaukee area.

This whole 7/1 thing needs to be discussed.

Almost all walmarts stock on either Thursday or Friday (7/2 or 7/3). I've never seen stock on any other day. Are they going to be stocking early this week? I know outside of my immediate area the stores stock on Thursday. In my immediate area it's Friday.

I'm guessing the 7/1 just means that is when MJ will have the product at the stores, but they won't be stocked until the 2nd or 3rd.

I’ve seen my local Walmart’s stock on Tuesday.

They may be stocking a day earlier this week. I’m assuming the vendors will have Friday off since the 4th falls on Saturday. I’ll be checking stores that I know stock on Fridays on Thursday

Message BostonNut, he has all Walmart stocking schedules on an Excel sheet.

Both Prizm and Mosiac when they were stocked the very first time, I found them stocked on a Wednesday.

Was a fun day.

[rtanner1019]

I literally just watched a Target employee drag a cart with 5 Excell boxes on it across the store and they are locked in a hallway just beside the card section now...does anyone know of any Targets that restock the shelves on Monday’s? Is it worth it to stick around and see if they bring it out if they may have Optic?

Full disclosure, I’m not that guy that takes all of the boxes and packs. I always leave plenty for everyone else.

from what i understand, only the Excel rep is authorized to put the items on the shelf.

Or so the employees say, while others might open the boxes for different customers...
There's a couple targets near me that are willing to open the boxes for customers (if they arent busy), not sure if they do that any more with limits being implemented at those stores.

Why did a product that isn't a reprint receive a new UPC? I know nothing about the process.
