No, that's not what I'm saying. This is an EXCLUSIVE, it has nothing to do with how many Joes are on the pegs. It has everything to do with Target saying "we'd like to do an exclusive, we'll take X units" and Hasbro producing that many. In this case, X was likely just well under the demand Y, but how is that Hasbro's fault? They can't force a retailer to take more than they asked for.
you say this like you work for target and know exactly how much they ordered...I really doubt Hasbro produced the right amount ordered by target....why would target take so many orders then? Hasbro clearly has not produced the number target asked for or ordered...it seems like a continuous defending Hasbro when its always clear they never produce enough for the demand Edit-I work in a toy store and request case after case of joes (exclusive or not) and I can never get them BECAUSE Hasbro does not make enough Last edited by teemu8; 09-04-2008 at 11:57 AM.. |

On the bright side, the DPCI is popping up as "active" in stores around here, as opposed to giving online only notices. Hopefully they'll start arriving soon.

Why would Target take so many orders? Because they didn't anticipate the demand? Because they knew they could go back to Hasbro with another order if demand outstripped the initial supply? Because they didn't allocate well? Because they calculated the online cutoff wrong? Because someone mistyped a zero on a memo? There are any number of reasons that fit just as well as "it's all Hasbro's fault". There's plenty of evidence to show that Target mismanaged the first release of exclusives, so it could just as easily be that's what happened here as well. If you're dead set on blaming Hasbro, though, go for it.

There's gonna be alot of disappointment if you go on Sunday. I'll be willing to bet they won't put them out till Sunday night, so don't be mad if you waste your gas. I used to work for Target and they really didn't work to very hard to make sure things were out on Sunday, even though that's when the sales flyer came out.

Me, too - although the Targets around me are always late with everything. I was so hoping to not have to look for these, but I think I lack the strength of will to wait until November!

You guys crack me up! listen I want these just as bad as evreyone else. i am going to keep my order even if they charge my card and even if I do not see them intil next year. its's money in the bank to me. i will find at least a few more in the stores. And if not Hasbro will release these again just like the black hiss, striker, and sharc. all hasbro is doing through target is feeling us out , and planning to make a shit load of money off of us this hoilday season. Yes i agree . Why not just make a half million now and put them out in every store that sells toys in the u.s. ?Why ? because you can not make a fortune off of toy CRACK if you sell it all at once. Hasbro has most of us Hooked, now they are feeding us some line in order to sink or piggy banks in the long run! But i say fuck target !fuck walmart !fuck hasbro! I will buy what I want when I want it from them. And still be pateint enough to out wait there Greedy little mind games they try to pull.

I called my Target today, none in stock. They also checked other stores, none in AZ yet. My Target gets trucks in on Mon, Wed, and Fri. So when I check the DPCI number on Fri and they come up as "not in stock," that would mean there is going to be none on the shelfs on Sunday.
