Ok it's been awhile since i've posted anything about the sales but i figured since it's been a couple of weeks of christmas shopping i'd let you know how things are going. The figures themselves have been doing quite well with sales in 20,000 the last few weeks. Last week it was 24,000 plus. Now i compared these to the transformer line(pretty unfair in my opinion since this is the second movie following a cartoon, has a much bigger fan base already) this line sells about double that at around 48,000 a week. Now the clone wars line sold about 32,000 last week. Now i think that the clone wars has a cartoon and the joes hang pretty close with them in sales. Pits are selling and the deluxe figures(target exclusives) have jump up to over 8,000 a week(thanks to the second wave finally being out.that is compared to around 1,500 to 2,000 before) Overall the sales of joe stuff is quite good in my opinion. What's your all thoughts?

I think it's good.
Someone should buy 24,000 Destro and Baroness though. |

Joes are selling almost as well as Clone Wars? That can't be right since Target seems to be constantly restocking Clone Wars figures and I haven't seen any new ROC figures in many months. It's always the same peg warmers.

I'm pretty sure my Target has given up on RoC for the time being. Nothing new in weeks, and the pegs look exactly the same.

Also, are you sure it's Clone Wars figures you're seeing and not Legacy figures (They have almost the same packaging, I don't know if they have the same DPCI) I've seen only one new wave of Clone Wars in a couple of months, but I've seen 2-3 new legacy waves in the same time frame |

That may be the case in your area, but I'm going to take this chance to vent a little...
The pegs at the Targets in my city have not seen plastic past wave 3. To this very post. It's nice because you can stock up on Pit Commandos (or your own army builder of choice) but the figs that do not sell build up and eventually consume the entire area like a zombie infestation until there's nothing left but Destro, Baroness, Cobra Commander and variations of Duke/HD, creating an embargo of shipments which keeps the stores from ordering the new supplies once they are released, choking the life out of the traffic in the isles. The same boring figures linger on the pegs, waiting, waiting for the next collector, or the same dummy who believes Target cares enough about collectors to set up other endcaps to get this fail clutter out of the backstock, to stare them directly in the eye and communicate with a silent , plasticky, "Why'd you come back?" look. While the exclusives have a much better circulation ratio, single cards are in a static, potato famine stance with no signs of improvement. You obviously work for the company, unless you are some sales-numbers-internet-stalker who hoards sales figures like I hoard Pit Commandos. I live in Colorado. Send the Store Managers in this district a memo plz.
