right now Maryland is waaaaayyy far behind in getting new Waves of figures + vehicles...
Other states had ARAH and Modern Era waves 11-13 about 3 months before they hit shelves over here. Walmart never sold waves 11 & 13 in some places. Now the RHINO, Dragon Hawk, Sky Sweeper Jet, Walmart & Target Exclusives as well as the waves with Helix and Sgt. Flash are out in some places and some of us here still can't find a stinkin' PP Snake Eyes.
I think retailers have to sell out of figures on pegs to replenish the stock on floor aisles, instead of just periodically placing a few new figures to full the pegs. However, as I expected, only collecters/scalpers are hitting up Targets and TRUs and picking select figures out from the Joe line and thus keeping those pegs moderately full until atleast the movie hits theaters in two weeks. When I worked for Target in 2003 I would check in the back for customers as well as stock newer figures when I saw they were getting low. I guess things are different now.
I think we could expect to see more Joe product being pushed in August around the time of the film. I know that Transformers front end cap has to come down soon since no one is really buying them.
Honestly, even with all the new stuff being announced until next year I am underwhelmed. I stopped looking for new stuff and now I just order what I want online. Too much of a hassle driving from one town to the next and never seeing anything new.
I've seen the Ice Dagger again and passed. I think I'll wait for the SnowCat and Cobra Rage since I am limited on space for toys and I have to start being selective on what I buy...
