I don't know though, if enough of you show an interest and pester them with emails and generalized "bait" information to entice... Who knows. Thing is, this Ross and Joes lovematch isn't going to last forever. So don't just go into it with "Hey, I want to buy Joes from your stores but we don't have any in this state." If you want to go from that angle, your best bet is to harass Hasbro about better distribution to the secondary retail chains.
Absolutely. It's the same in any secondary market location. I remember buying almost the entire Tiger Force line at Big Lots for my brother back in like 92 or so, then nothing. I've done retail for the better part of my life and if there is one universal truth it's that the higher level management and owners really don't care about anything but a bottom line. Not carrying one single line of intellectual property from a company like Hasbro that offers so many more lines is not a huge concern for them. That's why forums like this exist so that we can help each other out because the retailers sure as hell aren't going to do it.
