This seems a little nuts to me. I run a business and rule number one is that if you don't have product you can't sell anything. Everywhere my boys and I go we see empty hooks. It's been that way for weeks. I don't really understand how people keep saying that this brand doesn't sell well. Everytime it hits the shelves it sells out. Anyone else sick of looking at captain America and iron man figs? Is the Joe line going to ever be like it was when we were kids in the 80s? Hell no. I understand that. I also understand not stocking too much so you are not left with a billion pegwarmers. However looking at how bleak it is here in the pnw shows me that something is seriously f-ed here.
I could buy on the web. I understand that but I'm a single income earner for a family of four so it's not my first choice. Plus I run a brick and mortar bike shop. We compete with the Internet every day. Even something as minuscule as a stupid plastic action figure from freddies supports your local economy and in these times isn't that important? Besides its kind of awesome to scour the pegs (when full) with your kids and see them get stoked. If anyone in the puyallup/Tacoma area has some spares for sale PM me. My son REALLY wants a Law and Order. We are also looking for the new stalker, techno viper, renagades cobra trooper, and storm shadow (fat chance on that one). They don't head to be in packages or anything as they're just going to get opened and played with. Thanks for letting me rant! |

Walmart in Covington had POC destros for $3 those were the only i saw, unless someone else took the others....i would of bought it just for the shiny head lol...
someone else mention Chehalis Walmart had MU's for $3..and no joes.... and else where in the US, walmart have reported Joes $1.00 - $3.00 and someone targets at $1.26 i know you are not going to find new POC or 30th Anniv Joes but you might be lucky. Im guessing they are clearancing out the peg warmers. its about time to get rid of POC Destro. |

My Walmart in the little town of Colville has not had Joes for a year then after Christmas when everything went on clearance they brought a box out, mainly Hazard Vipers and Cobra Troopers, and put them on clearance. I bought all of those and then whan all the Walmarts just did the last reset I found Airtight, Lifeline, Law & Order, Tunnel Rat, Ripcord, Scarlett, Sci Fi and Cobra Trooper. I picked up most of these for my brother who is now collecting. Keep your fingers crossed that your Walmarts will restock someday.
