I'm pass the 2015 50th Anniversary offering for Joes. It seems pretty underwhelming since I was only excited about getting the new Gung-Ho figure which has never made it retail in our area (its like an urban myth). Also, for TRU and Hasbro not to have decent system of restocking once the quantity of the items are no longer in stock just shows they don't really mind if the brand doesn't make money.
I'm glad that I'll save money by Hasbro's lack of enthusiasm in the brand. They've shown us it's a lower priority than Star Wars, Transformers, NERF and Marvel for the last couple years, especially since the overproduction of figures and vehicles for the first motion picture film in 2009 which damaged their credibility to convince the big three to carry the full assortment of the follow-on waves.
I just hope that with next year being a lull with no new 'Bayerized' Transformers film and the Star Wars: The Force Awakens fiasco dying down that we can just get a decent 2 waves of somewhat new stuff; I'd be really happy with the unreleased stock primarily from the 2012-2013 concept vault or/and a mix with re-painted figures only available through SDCC and FSS offerings. Sorry, this is definitely a rant, but just don't get why the the most recent theory (post Pursuit of Cobra: 2010 - now) is that G.I. Joe doesn't perform well at retail, when honestly its never available in good quantities in this area unless its at wholesale/bargain discounters (ROSS, Five Below, Marshall's, TJMaxx).
