So this reset they are just going to have empty shelf space for almost a month while the stock sits in the back room the entire time? This does not raise any questions in the minds of the toy managers at the stores? I don't know much about retail but that just does not seem like a smart way to do business. Further proves the toys were supposed to be put out on the floor 7/26.
Good lord, this makes so much sense. Big box retail shelf space is a paid for premium that manufacturers vie for and covet, so the fact that there will be GI Joe product shelves that are empty for 13 days (until the "official" street date) is the most crazy thing ever. Granted, I'm not a big box, don't represent one and don't have vested interest in anything but the products they sell, but this seems like a major stab in the eye for them that they couldn't get this figured out.
