back in like .. 2005? or 06? I organised a goonmeet here in christchurch and was so amazed how many people came

one dude came and he was like “remember me? we were in that weekend club for super smart kids together” and lol I had totally forgotten I ever went to a club for ultra nerds

hard to believe but I got kinda drunk, and had to get up at 7am the next morning to pick up a trailer full of wood for our fireplace and unload it. gently caress me that was painful lol

Seriouspost and pro tip: when about 100% of customers don't take your product out of the packaging, ever, it's a bubble and then your business plan is to be able to anticipate when it bursts and how to deal with it, entirely.

e: i did skim the article and do understand it's about how JIT is extremely bad for producers and consumers, but still.

I think the first part of what you said was correct and it isn't really a JIT manufacturing issue. Funko pops are a thing like beanie babies where 90% of their sales are to people collecting them in the hope that they will appreciate in value.

Of course, any sort of toy related to a media franchise is going to have a problem where if you produce too much and have left over inventory once people stop caring about the franchise you're not going to be able to sell them.

not jit manufacturing, jit everything else. no "shop" actually keeps a stock of anything anymore, so when things go pear-shaped, it fucks up everything for either the producer or the consumer or both.

in this case, of course, i don't care. but they should've planned for this.

I don't think that's really the issue though? I think when you're producing stuff like this you always have to decide how much to make based on estimates derived from past sales.

If sales spike, you have to either be conservative about increasing production and risk missing out on additional profits if it turns out that it wasn't just a temporary spike, or go all in on increasing production under the assumption that the increased sales will continue and risk not being able to sell all the inventory if it turns out it was just a temporary spike.

This is something that has always been the case and I don't think it's necessarily specifically related to current issues with inventory management or something.

The problem is that funko pops decided to go all in on maximizing profit from the bubble from collectors which was inevitably going to collapse. But it's understandable because selling to adults who are buying 500 funko pops is a lot more lucrative than just selling the occasional toy to fans of specific franchises.
