This blows on an entirely new level if this is a company wide decision, how does Hasbro propose to sell GI Joe if major retailers aren't carrying them. After working corporate retail I assure you that this is not the way to strengthen your brand, especially with one as iconic as GI Joe. The retail merchants are the ones who decide what will go into a product line, establish cost perimeters and determine quantity to buy (planners plug inventory by markets). Movies are built in marketing tools for retail, the fan's desires are evidently not factored in. Just another reason retail merchants in tuned with business and not with the customer, this disconnect is what irritates most.
I agree with you BIG TIME BUMMER if Target as a whole and not just Reynoldsburg Target Stops carrying Joe and only will stock if there is a movie. We all know GI JOE will not be like Star Wars, nor Superman nor Batman and make new Joe movie every couple of years.
I am so happy that GI JOE Retaliation was made (my favorite of the two). I am keeping my fingers crossed that Joe 3 happens but I just can't see Joe 4,5,6.... filmed if there is no cartoon and no toys on the shelf.
There is only a couple of figures that I want to get out of W 3.5 and W 4 and I refuse to order cases online. When you can't physically look at the item you are buying that bothers me. Plus I love toy hunting and tracking down that one figure that you really want. So if Walmart is out of the Joe toyline, Target drops, here is hoping that the only 2 Toys R Us near me stock them.
At least with Target there is about 12-15 stores that I could travel to and look for Joes.
