Strongsville Target completed their reset. Sadly, no Joes.
Help us Drug Mart and Giant Eagle, you're our only hope. |

I haven't seen any Joe's in awhile. It's like they either pulled them off the shelves, or magically sold out of em.

I was in the Wal Mart in Parma last week and the pegs were stocked full of wave 1 and 2 figures. I was surprised to see so many there.

The wal mart in Parma truly stinks. I think when the movie was delayed they pulled everything back. By the time the movie came out everyone already had the figures and now they are stuck. The delay really screwed Hasbro on this.

I saw a bunch of those at TRU in beavercreek, but they were still 20.00!!! I would buy them for 10.00, but not TRU's crazy price hikes.

I'm not a fan of the red color but I never got one of the 'good' HISS tanks with the real working treads etc., so i had to jump at that price. I may attempt to paint it black but I've never tried customizing, and I'm afraid I'd ruin it. |

Just talked with the department manager at the Reynoldsburg Target, according to the new planogram there will be no new Joes on the shelf. If there isn't a movie tie-in then they are not carrying the line. This blows on an entirely new level if this is a company wide decision, how does Hasbro propose to sell GI Joe if major retailers aren't carrying them. After working corporate retail I assure you that this is not the way to strengthen your brand, especially with one as iconic as GI Joe. The retail merchants are the ones who decide what will go into a product line, establish cost perimeters and determine quantity to buy (planners plug inventory by markets). Movies are built in marketing tools for retail, the fan's desires are evidently not factored in. Just another reason retail merchants in tuned with business and not with the customer, this disconnect is what irritates most.
