Funny you mentioned that I just got back from another TRU and they are doing the reset as well(looks like to be nationwide)well anyways they found a bunch of hidden Joes behind the pegs of Heroes figures lol.One good thing about this reset looks like they can now fit about 2 1/2 cases on a peg...so theoretically at least 16 cases worth if Hasbro ever sends that.So even if they have a lot of pegwarmers they now have more peg space to put in newer product.Lets hope this is a start of a good thing

Mine was in the middle of a reset. They have 8 pegs and a little shelf space. Too bad that S6 Duke with the electronics is taking up all of the available shelf space.

I'd take either B.A.T. or Snow Serpent, or that Xamot/Tomax 2-pack in those shots!
All we have here are the typical shelf warmers! That'd be nice, I'll have to check TRU soon. I'd all but given up. Although, the local Target just "reset" 2 weeks ago, and I've checked almost daily on my way home from work, and they've not gotten anything, but a returned Buzzer, which I bought because I realized I haven't even opened my 1 buzzer yet, and didn't want to waste a carded one. I just can't open a decent boxed figure. I hope TRU doesn't reset and then sit like my Target did... with 1 buzzer per peg. It's like a toy aisle comb-over. |

Well unfortunately, I don't have that luxury.
By the time I get home from work, it's usually 7pm at the earliest, and I'm off to work much earlier than the Targets near me are open. And I also don't think that someone is buying up ALL the stock before I can come back. I just don't think they've gotten in any new shipments, despite the reset. Other area stores get remnants in, even the "new pegwarmer" Wild Bill will come, stay, and go... The store's just not seen anything new in weeks, I'm afraid. |

If you're only checking Target on your way home from work then you will never find anything.The other collectors that know what they're doing go there at 8am on specific days.So say for example they got in 2 cases a collector or two then comes in store opening and buys everything out by the time you get out of work and check you will see nothing and think nothing ever comes in.This happens everywhere.You just have to know the right time to go

Yep. For months I swore that the Target by my work (Burbank) and the Target by my apartment (Valencia) never got any new Joes in. I work a weird shift, 5AM-1PM) so I never see squat since I can't make it into a Target until after 2PM usually. Anyways, I left work early on a Monday back in May and hit the Burbank and Valencia Targets and they had tons of wave 7 and wave 8 (wave 8 had just been reported the night before)!! I then realized that unless you hit the stores in the first 2 or 3 hours of the store opening, you will hardly ever find anything at Target. Although I stopped by my Target on a Sunday afternoon at around 5PM about a month ago and found 3 sets of wave 9. But this is probably the exception and not the rule. 24-hour Wal-Marts are your best bets if you work abnormal hours.
