I have to be honest, I am concerned about the future of the line. Movie or no movie, this whole situation was one big dick move. I am sure the retailers were hesitant to buy GIJoe movie product this time around given how poorly RoC product sold compared to what was on hand. Now the retailers get less and they push back the movie and recall the remaining product. There will be 9 solid months of no Joe product. When it comes time to put more on the shelf, the retailers may decide to say they had enough of this shit and just get more cheap knock off military toys. There are a lot of eggs in the Retaliation 3D basket. They better have been right about all of it.

I don't think that's an issue considering that's the only case that store received.

I hope so.... I'm hoping everyone gets what they need as far as everything except red ninjas, joe troopers and cobra troopers.. we will never get what we need If were building our armies....

I can say that I'm finished with my ninjas and I sold my 6 cobra troopers keeping only the parachutes since I want to use the cobra trooper (The Enemy) to build my cobra army. I just wish they put out more of thoes figures Instead of all these figures that everyone only wants one of. It is a slap in the face by hasbro, I don't even understand all that... really.. They could sell so much more if they did it that way...

by the way for all joe fans to know, I am going out on another joe run tomorrow. I hope to hit at least 7 stores. making my round trip short, because I'm basically making a list as i go. so that I can let everyone know what Is there.. I will try to do my posts after every store so you guys can get in there right away if you need anything.... also If I find a red ninja I will sell it to the first person that lets me know they want it.. I will sell for retail price..

You got my attention, where did you find a rep? I thought they were all under federal protection.

While I'm inclined to think that she's right, you have to be wary of her 'knowledge'. That woman is about as smart a box of rocks with a tear in the bottom. Several times in the past I've caught her basically talking out her butt, especially when confronted with official Hasbro statements from online sources(like Hisstank).

I ran into a hasbro rep at the walmart in pines just 30 minutes ago and he says that joes are off the shelf until march. He was kind enough to search the back of the store for any joe figures. All they had were the peg warmer motorcycles. Which he thought was amusing that I called them that. He agreed. So if your rep said that they would have joes on the self for the next 9 months its probably those just sitting there that long.

Well, it's because she covers the whole Orlando metropolitan area and I've seen her at stores from Waterford Lakes to Casselberry, Oviedo to Ocoee. A friend who works at Target in Clarmont said he has seen her there. I lived, worked and toy hunted in Orlando for several years, until fairly recently when the company I worked for transferred me to Ocala and then let me go shortly thereafter. Good times. But on multiple occasions she would swear up and down that such and such line was getting a full roll out or that specific assortments would be on pegs in a couple Weeks. When I showed her Hasbro press releases to the contrary she acted like I had gone over her head and gotten top secret info she hadn't been privy to. I'm not saying she's not nice enough, she's just not particularly well-informed in my experience.

Her predecessor, on older guy (probably about 60) was worse, though. he was rude and nasty, even when I tried to help him. many moons ago I ran into him at Altamonte TRU setting up the G.I.Joe BTR display (yes, that long ago, lol). A Mom asked him several questions about the line because she said she didn't want to buy sets for her boys only to have no new products to add later. his response was a canned "Hasbro always stands by their brands and while they haven't announced any more yet, I'm sure there will be". I interjected that I had just read about more sets coming, like the HISS, the HQ, etc... He asked me where I got my information because Hasbro hadn't told him anything. I told him "the internet".and showed him pics on my old Samsung slider phone. instead of being glad that I helped him sell multiple sets of one of the worst toy lines I can recall, he told me quietly to "fuck off and mind my own business". I just feel bad for the woman who never got any additional sets.

To reiterate, I don't dislike her or have any real ill will towards her, I've just gotten a lot of bad info from her over the last couple years.
