WindTraders is all out of Banshees in The Rookery (NO JOKE)

[Kamikaze]

Its not just Pandora. The movie Moana is severely under represented in merchandise in the park. A CM at the Poly said that they sold out of Moana stuff almost immediately and they were not geared to make a new manufactering run fast enough. The CM said its kind of embarrassing when you have little to no Moana merchandise to sell in Moana Mercantile.

So theres the answer, its mostly because WDW doesn't do enough 'LE' or 'new' merch. Been a problem for a long time since they homogenized the merch and basically had every large store sell the same things.

The purpose of a corporation is shareholder wealth MAXIMIZATION, not shareholder wealth good-enough-ization. They should do the thing that makes them the most money, not a thing that makes them am okay amount of money.

You're also incorrect that everything is rosy in Nintendoland. They were in seriously bad shape not three years ago.

Bzzt Wrong on the purpose of a publuc corporation which goes all the way back to Lloyds coffeehouse in the 1600's

There is NOTHING in US/UK/JP (based on US law) that states that MAXIMIZATION of short term shareholder value is a corporate duty.

That particular reading of corporate law came from CONVICTED AND JAILED FRAUDSTER Michael Miliken the 'Junk Bond King' who used non-investment grade bonds to create the Wall St Casino.

It used to be corporate law was managed as a three legged stool Shareholders/Employees/Customers and Stakeholders and the world was a hell of a lot more prosperous back then.

Don't talk about things you don't understand. First of all, I said nothing about "short term," did I? Shareholder wealth maximization is based on the net present value of all future cash flows. Second of all, the purpose of a corporation is not spelled out in any type of law, it's spelled out in corporate charters and the fundamental relationship between principals and their agents. Spend five seconds reading about agency theory. It's THE founding principal of western capitalism.

I suggest you go and study the history and precedent(s) of corporate law. Not the bull excrement the business schools have been pushing since the Reagan days including the vastly distorted version of Agency theory

To go by history Parliament did not want to authorize 'Joint Stock' companies because they were afraid of what is happening today the concentration of wealth in the hands of unelected and unaccountable corporate actors. The original laws which allow corporations to exist required an exchange in that corporations would be required to create employment and be subject to regulation by the Crown.

These protections have been stripped away and we have the Casino mentality seen today and we have 'too big to fail' corporations which rival nation states in power.

What needs to happen is the regulatory system needs to be reset to pre Magnuson act days and instead of a complex system of government micromanagement designed to create barriers to entry. A simple regulatory structure with swift and comprehensive enforcement of simple rules and this should include jail.

The store had Banshees Saturday but by evening EMH they were gone.

They do still have stock of "Opening Day" passholder shirts and magic bands.

Perhaps Disney should worry less about possible unsold inventory and more about customer satisfaction and order a sufficient inventory. All that money spent on big data.

Yet not using it because they should certainly know the percentage of FP holders who bought a banshee and simply order that percentage based on FP numbers....

Well they wouldn't have that data when they made the initial order now would they?

Perhaps they did that but a production run is longer than four weeks.

Perhaps you should stop interpreting everything in the worst way possible. You are the anti-pixie duster.

 

[ford91exploder]

For the Initial 'day one' order no Disney would not. But after 5 days they would have a baseline. But apparently Disney did not use the data at hand.

Uber and Amazon use big data to dynamically set pricing in near real time.

But once again Disney shows their inability to utilize IT resources effectively.

After 5 days they did have a baseline but they can't just magically make banshees appear at that point.

This is the same company which runs out of snacks by 7pm at Gasparilla's at the GF because management is afraid to order 'too much'

This is the same problem writ larger. Disney is so busy grubbing for pennies they miss the dollars flying over their head

Ever order molded plastic products? I have. It simply costs more when you need an 'emergency run' along with the air freight and expedited customs clearance (i'm assuming China as origin). Its not a difficult process

The banshee wall currently has some plushies on it and flight of passage riders are being directed through the gift shop. The store had plenty of active shoppers even without the banshees.

Not an 'expert' just an engineer who is called upon to repair broken systems and processes. And in this case if line was out of parts why did NO ONE ORDER MORE. Because no one had the authority and they were afraid to ask those who had authority because in different manangement chain.

All I did was research what had to be done to fix the borked process there are advantages to being an 'outsider' in cases like this.

Except you don't know the facts of this situation.

Is the AP magic band only available in the store? My pass is blocked until August ...

 

[Homer fan]

Is there an update on when these will be back in stock?
