YAY! According to the Estes website the HoJo, and both Nikes are back in stock! Snagged 'em! It looks like only the Magician hasn't returned to stock yet.

Last year when I toured the Estes facility, everyone saw the direct order shipping area.

It's in a corner of the main storage/shipping warehouse. Think of this warehouse as the size of a Home Depot store or even larger. There is steel racking going up about twenty feet. On the ground level are pallets of cases of motor packs. The next/middle shelving features pallets of Launch Sets. The top shelf has pallets of boxed kits.

In the direct mail area is a woman named Zoe and her racks of product. She has one or two cases of every item on shelving that she draws upon to fill orders. This is the inventory that is tracked in relation to when the website states something is or is not 'in-stock'.

When Zoe runs out of an item she goes over to the racks of product and pulls another case or two of the item and this amount is entered into the website tracking inventory.

So, don't give up hope. On Monday, Zoe will be pulling more inventoy from the warehouse stock to fill orders and restock her shipping inventory.

Thanks. I went back to check the Estes site and now many of the items that had been listed as out of stock are available. Was able to get the Honest John and a couple others.

Holy Crap ! I wanted a HoJo but it was out of stock when I ordered this morning. So I ordered something else and put my order in.
