No thanks to me though as I unfortunately have at least one of each and multiples of many.
I agree that the movie figures did make the retailers scared. I too remember 25th stuff being hard to find towards the end. But that was due to the retailers choosing not to order enough. This is why so many waves ended up at Big Lots and Family Dollar. To demand was clearly there. Now the movie comes along and the retailers are on board for supporting the line because the missed out on the 25th stuff and there is a movie to support it. Figures will sell like hotcakes!! Yeah...not so much. The figures sucked, the movie was mediocre at best. Retailers have to clearance stuff and they are scared of GIJoe again. Unfortunately GIJoe just doesn't have the lasting fan base of Transformers and Star Wars. While they stay fairly consistant in popularity, GIJoe has it's ups and downs.
