They may not start stocking until later but you can usually open a box and take what you want. Just be courteous if you go that route and do not leave a mess. If you un-stack a pallet to get a box, stack it back up when you are done. Stuff like that. Jin Saotome has a good write-up on his site about going around during stocking hours. I would suggest anyone who wants to go that route give it a read.

If stores are not 24 hours, like Toys R Us and some Targets, their stock times could vary greatly. Some do stocking after they close, some before they open and some do some stocking during the day.

As for when they receive trucks, sometimes you can ask an employee and they will tell you. If you have the patience, you can also figure out what time they tend to bring out inventory and drop in throughout a week to see when the toy section has pallets.

yea i think i might start hunting around here in South Florida... i need to find more info as to when these places start to stock up. i have a few wal marts around my area, and only one toys r us close to my location.

This seems like it's going to be a a nice little hunt !!
