G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Wal-Mart Early Christmas Displays Hit East Coast

Select Wal-Mart brick and mortar stores will have new end-cap and stand alone displays featuring new G.I. Joe and Transformers merchandise. These displays should have the newest waves and product types available to them, regardless if their older stock has sold out.



Each SKU/size/class/case assortment will only have two cases available. Of note for G.I. Joe fans, the 25th Anniversary box sets should be included.

Wal-Mart apparently is doing this in order to gauge interest for the Christmas season on these and other lines, and is internally calling this "Early Christmas Displays".

Huh....I talked with a Hasbro Rep last week at my Wally world and he said something about the store having GI Joe art/display that he didn't know when they would set up (If ever) but I assumed he was talking about art for the 12" figures since he had been talking about that just a moment ago....looks like I need to keep an eye on my Wal-Mart

No kidding. Now since I'm in the southern part of Georgia maybe I will see them mid-October if ever. By that time wave 2 will be available, and with my luck I will see them after my BBTS order ships.

Just FYI the display had about 25 5-packs stacked on one side with Spider-Man and Transformers in the others. Single cards were there but only a hand full.

Great, the only 25th Anniversary items I can find at almost every store that carries them will now have more. I'm starting to think that the 5-packs are going to be shelf warmers at some point. You would think that since the singles are selling better that they would be given more space. Then again this was probably designed before they knew how well they would sell or probably because there aren't many single packs out right now.
