I heard that if LEGO couldn't guarantee a certain amount of stock level by a certain date, then Sears has to make the decision to not include them in their catalog.

I should also point out that production for sets is a lot like printing - there's a lot of lead time needed to get a set production run done. So what seems obvious now in terms (...)
