Target does a good job of stocking everything. They actually have employees that scan empty pegs and move stock to the front IF they have it. Target ordered a ton of joes and stocked it at EVERY store. Unfortunately the line isn't that popular and that's why you get shitty peg warmers hanging around. I'm just now seeing wave 4 revision 4 cases hit targets in the metro. Seems that Target nationwide sold through enough of their initial shipments and ordered a new shipment. It's unfortunate that low light is not included in that revision.
As far as buying items on clearance and hurting the brand, that's just crazy talk. If I think an item is over priced or not terribly desirable, I'm simply voting with my dollars. I'm not hurting the brand, just sending a message that I won't just throw money at rehashes and goofy vehicles. Buying clearance items for customs fodder hurts the brand just as much since you could have paid full retail.
The way things are going, without a good movie or cartoon on cartoon network, nickelodeon or WB (the channels kids actually watch cartoons on), this line will never do well in retail. It just doesn't have the appeal that star wars and transformers does. I'm happy that the figures get four pegs in a target and are stocked nationwide. Wal Mart is making a simple and smart decision not to dedicate space to something that's not selling the volume other lines are. Look at how much space is dedicated to joes at TRU and you know that they're not doing well.
