How to keep availability high while controlling frozen inventory capital.

LEGO in wholesale: capital allocation between premium series and fast sellers

For constructors and collectible sets, the best-performing model splits stock into two baskets: premium lines and fast-moving lines with shorter reorder cycles.

That structure reduces overstock risk while preserving high service levels during campaign and gift seasons.

Demand planning is strongest when replenishment cadence is tied to promotions, launches, and weekly sell-through data.

Key takeaways

  • Split inventory strategy for premium and fast-moving sets.
  • Use short replenishment loops for top-selling SKUs.
  • Align purchase timing with campaign and seasonality windows.
