I wouldn't put too much stock into what employee's say. When the Target exclusives came out, an employee told me they don't carry GI Joe and hadn't since Christmas(although I had checked the DPCI number at that store earlier and it said they had them in stock). With TRU, I would've believed no Joe's, up until wave 5. My TRU had carded fig's one time, when they first came out last year. After that first wave, it was nothing but boxed sets. Jan/Feb when when wave 5 hit my area, is when TRU finally stared getting more singles. Then they got a whole bunch of wave 6. TRU exclusives have been showing up in good quantities and recently, wave 7 & 8, have been showing up.

I don't believe it. TRU has been the only toy retail outlet all these years to never drop the line. This line hasn't even hit its peak yet, there is no way they would say, let's get out now before the movie hits...

They were probably talking about Sigma 6. They had that exclusive 3pack hit at the end of the line's life. Now, they're clogging shelf space. Too bad, since it's a great pack.
I'm sure the new line is being carried. They've had more exclusives for it than any other retailer, and rumor has it they have more on the way. Remember, Hasbro said they're ramping up production, so more Joes should be available at all retailers. Lastly, there's a licensing show going on this week in New York. They'll be pimping the GI Joe movie to vendors and keeping the namebrand alive. With hype of the upcoming movie, retailers will maintain interest in the line until the movie stuff comes out next year. |

GI JOE buyers probably scare the owner and she was trying to get away quickly without engaging in conversation or making eye contact...

Same here...Target and TRS only carry 1 peg of two packs and 1 peg of singles...Walmart has been my savior.
