Well LEGO has manufacturers reps that vist many retailers to check on stock
levels, placement, appearance and such tasks. They will take and fill the
shelves if they are not full(and sometimes if they are!) if the stock is on
hand. But they do NOT stock all the LEGO product that goes on the shelves.
mostly it is filled by the store employees (I have done this myself). I have
talked with the reps, about whatever was going on. I voiced my concerns and
likes also :^) Not that I believe that it would filter up to TOP management,
that COULD not happen from what I see of thier structure and direction of
movement? momentum? path taken? whatever its called.......
