I'm still seeing what appears to be limited quantity on the shelves. Other than the peg warmers of Scarlet and Buzzers and some comic packs. I found my local Target and Wlamart with 4-8 pegs and are completely empty.
The demand was high from the get-go Hasbro! I honestly feel that Hasbro is not making enough or some kind of communication barrier with the retailers.
You haven't always found stores empty, as you one day bought $600+ of single packed figures and posted your haul on here.
Maybe there are fellow collectors who bought the joes at the stores that you went to, before you got there. Maybe they wanted a ton of figures too. In that respect, they got the toys they wanted. Then theres nothing to complain about. All it proves is that demand is still high. Was demand high from the get go? I think anticipation was, not so much demand, as opposed to retailers not ordering enough thinking it wouldn't sell that well. Of course it will seem like there is high demand when nothing is on shelf, but what if only 2 cases were ordered? Its been stated since last year, and its true, that some stores only ordered a small amount of cases.
In my area I have seen more product on shelves
consistently
than before. Last month I saw a huge increase of wave 8 on shelves, mixed with wave 7. Much easier to find than waves 5 and 6. Comic packs are almost always a given to be found, not always the newest ones, but they are a common presence in the toy aisle. Last year I would usually find 1 or 2 single carded figures on pegs,
thats it
.
Also Hasbro used to have more intimate q/a's with fansites but as the saying goes, "all good things come to an end".
