Clipstrip/end of line sale (AKA 994E) will be one plus the early launch of 2014 series in November. The first two 2014 cases, possibly 994F and 994G will be here before Christmas is they've got their demand predictions right!
It is agreed to produce so many of each character and then case contents for the programme are worked around this. Individual markets add their own requirements and then this means that numbers maybe fine tuned to suit. The US being the biggest individual market (average 15,000 of each case) obviously has a major say over all the matters, although as we have seen even this year some cases get cancelled in the US.
There are production windows for each assortment, usually a week for each case. Remembering that there maybe 25,000 - 30,000 of each case (or similar case for each market, US, Europe or International) in the run.
