I'll try to explain what our TDS manager told me today. TDS sent pins out to all of their stores for this upcoming event, unfortunatly the stores had no idea this was going to happen. Many of them put them on the shelves and then received 2-3 days later a call telling them that shipment was to be held to the 5th of January and to NOT sell them before that day. The managers then called back and told the home office "too late, we've already sold out, it would have been nice to know about this promotion before the product was here". Now it is like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. There are going to be alot of angry folks come the 5th. The only pin I was not able to get was the New Years pin.
