That means the store has gone through at least 12 JVs, if not more. But how can anybody buy one when they're all snatched up? How can a kid shopping on the weekend find a JV when collectors/army-builders/scalpers have bought them all up?
Those 12 Destros aren't going to have Target putting more cases out on the shelves, they're just going to block JVs and Recondos from coming out. I think the Destro is really pretty cool, but it's those collector/army/scalpers that are making him look bad, poor shiny fella.
So it would be better to have 40+ figs on the pegs instead of 'only' 33. It's hasbros fault for poor case assortment, but even with all the sw and gi joe peg warmers over the years they say the rehashes sell well. I dont get it myself, but I'm quite curious what data the bean counters are looking at.
