I'm curious, across the country (and perhaps even the globe, depending on how far and wide Joes are being distributed currently) what are the 25th peg warmers in your area?
For AZ it appears to be mainly these three: Shipwreck Cobra Commander (hooded) Lady Jaye To illustrate; today I saw an entire peg filled with nothing but Lady Jaye's. It was kind of ironic in a way, as I remember Lady being kind of a rare figure for the first few months of her release. |

Pretty much the same in VA & OH where I've been this past month. Only differences are that I've seen quite a few green Stalkers too and fewer Shipwrecks. It's funny, because I don't really care for either of them. Shipwreck looks too much like Popeye and Stalker like Indian or Pakistani Army.
We also had a glut of Beachheads, Fireflys and Serpentors for a while, but I think they all got bought up right before the holidays. So it's pretty much the LJs, CC's, Stalkers and Shipwrecks. I think Hasbro simply overreacted to the popularity of the line during that wave and made way too many Serpentors, LJ's and CC's. I don't think people are necessarily avoiding them, just not buying as many multiples as of the others, like BH & FF - because they are just that cool! |

That could be. I think they definitely overreacted to the popularity of the "core" or "favorite" figures. I get that SE and CC sell but I don't agree with having them in every wave. IMO when a future wave comes out, the filler figs per case should be "army builders". For example: for wave 6 the extra figs should be CG's and Ninjas or officers etc. Not SS, Duke, CC or whatever. I think it hurts there sales when places like Target won't go get cases from the stockroom because theres one CC and one Shippy on the pegs. |
