So I know there's been some dialogue between board members and walmart managers. Does anyone know why they are keeping 4+ pegs on the new floor set if they aren't carrying joes until April/May? I have to imagine there will be a new action figure layout coming with all the summer movies...
From knowing people that work there as well as actually talking to a toy dept manager there is a good time lapse between orders from Christmas season to Spring reset. Literally, the pegs will be almost bare in some Walmarts until they get the new layout sheets for re-organizing where things go sometime late next month - early April. So in an optimistic scenario, whatever Joes didn't get placed on floors by before New Years, may start appearing on pegs this March when the reset will be underway. This means that the four pegs that are there right now act as a just in case the store decides to carry the brand again in March.
As for Super Walmart in Laurel, MD I think this may be the case. If the distribution center has some cases of 30th Anniversary/PoC/Renagades left after the Spring reset they might just find their way to this location. This doesn't mean that the store had to order more because technically its just going to get sent there if its available in the system.
On the down side, I've seen somewhere here that Hasbro's ordering list that being used by Walmart doesn't have Joes on it at all. Avengers, Transformers, Marvel, Star Wars, etc. but Joes most likely won't be reordered until Hasbro releases assortment information for G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
As for what in the hell is going on with Pursuit of Cobra leftovers hitting discounters that has me at a lost. Since a majority of the PoC vehicles already hit stores like Ross and Marshall's my guess is that just enough was made for the orders that Hasbro received by retailers. If we get any at all it will be at a minimal, which is good for the brand.
