I'm still not totally convinced that production hasn't been increased. Let's look at a few things:
1. There are way more fans now, than there were last year (When Hasbro stated they would increase production)
2. GI Joe is hot, so more people are buying multiples
3. If the Black Suit SDCC CC can sell 600 figures in 90 minutes on HTS alone, that shows that A. They made a lot more than they did last year and B. That more people are buying them
As far as stuff in the stores, sure, at most I'll see only 5-6 different characters in a store at a time. Some stores (Mainly a few Wal-Marts) have at least 10 or more figures (Maybe not all different) on the pegs while other stores (Mainly Target and K-Mart) have 1-3 figures on the pegs. Now I'd like to point out something else here. Target has higher prices and just finished a reset, yet somehow they only have a few figures to put on the shelf. However, Wal-Mart is cheaper and out of 3 stores, 2 of them have 10-20 figures on the pegs, the other store has 5. All of this is still sounding like bad ordering on the store's part, but it could also be due to less shoppers at those two Wal-Marts. Either way, it still doesn't explain why Target sucks when it comes to stocking Joes
