Great news for those waiting on Brands Zoo Mania and Sea Mania!

[nam]

The wait is over guys!  I have just spoken with Craig at Brand Vending about donating some prizes for our next contest for the most posts in the Shop and Swap section.  He says he'll donate Zoo Mania and Sea Mania, 2 bags of the winners choice.  I said how can you do that when you don't have any in stock ?   I just got my backorder too!   Craig said he  just got his big shipment in today and he can now fill orders immediately for everyone waiting and those wanting to order more.  The 2" capsules will be in more toward the end of the month or first part of next month.

So all you guys that haven't been able to order these because they haven't had any in stock can now call and your order will be filled immediately!  For the few of you that don't know what we are talking about here.  Zoo Mania is the best selling 1" capsule in history and they have sold over 35 million of them.  They are simply cute, soft little zoo animals that the kids love and collect.  They come in series so the kids keep wanting to get more and collect them all.  Of course this is why Brand now has Series 1 and 2 and also added Sea Mania.  These come in the 1" round (not acorn) capsules and can vend out of most reg. gumball wheels.  If you haven't tried these you're probably losing out on the hottest item ever sold in 1' capsules.  Gary at West Coast posted here in the forum a week or two back that he is selling 8,000 a month himself!  Wish I could say that.  I keep trying to get all my neighbors to come in and use the machines in my living room but just don't seem to get that kind of volume.  lol

Anyway, here is the info to order from Brand.  Call Craig or Diane at Brand Vending 1-800-967-3048  Here is their web site but I'd just call.  www.Brandvendingproducts.com

Jim,

There in for sure. They didn't come in until a couple hours before I spoke with Craig at Brand. He had just gotten them this afternoon. Or you may have spoken with someone else that hadn't been told the shipment had arrived this afternoon. Try again or you may have even called the east coast warehouse. Call the number I have posted above which is the Scottsdale, Az. office.

Everyone getting your Zoo Mania and Sea Mania orders ok now? The big 2" versions should be in anytime now too. Craig had said they should have them around the 1st of the month.

Was wondering what price point every one is going for on the 2 inch. I will be at .75 but mostly 1.00

havend,

You can be the Vendiscuss price leader. You test the high price and let the rest of us know if it works?

Based on how well the 1" has sold I'll bet you could get that $1 vend out of them. You know alot of these kids that have been collecting the smaller ones will buy the big ones too!

I do go for the max but I have a retail back ground so I will do some at .50 and compare results. I have been blowing out mini malz just ordered 50 more boxes doing them at .50 and .75

There are guys doing them at .25 and I dont understand why.

A&A sells them in 1" and 2".  They're the same figurines, they're just capped in both sizes.  They recommend $0.50 in both the 1" and 2".  I have them in one location in the 2".  I'm anxious to see how they do.

Those are actually pretty cute.

I bought some sea mania and zoo mania today, we'll see how they do. They'll be on my 10way rack.

[havending]

They do great I have sold through 9,000 of them

havending,

Very impressive number you're selling of those Zoo Mania. I think I know the answer to this but gotta ask this anyway. Are you selling the 1" for 50 cents or 25 cents?

I have a large order of them coming to me including 2". I am thinking of a 50 cent pricepoint for the one inch caps.
