Out of all the figures, I already got what I wanted (Helix and PP Baroness) but I must admit that Snake Eyes is growing on me.

Anybody need the Star Wars Republic Gunship BattlePack (the one w/ 2 clone pilots and mountable turret)? I have one MIB that I don't need. I can sell it for $26 shipped.

Let me see here,
Yesterday I ventured to Columbia to buy MUA2 from TRU. The pegs were filled with the same Joes I seen there three weeks ago. They had the crimson viper 5 packs for $19.99. Across the street at Target I debated getting the Wolverine DVD and decided that the movie sucked ass and put it down; moreover, in the action figure aisle they had the same exact stock of figures that were there three weeks ago. However, they had the newer ML Secret Wars 2-packs with Magneto and Cyclops. I then went to Wal-Mart where guess what, they had the same toys from Waves 1-2 well stocked in the same locations. However they had the Wolverine: Origins deluxe figures wave 2 with Colussus and Wolverine. These retailers here in Maryland are to blame for the slow incoming of newer merchandise and not the Hasbro delivery trucks that drop off their stuff early in the morning. They are stocking newer waves of other collections from their various toylines because space permits them to do so. They (TRU, Target, Walmart, etc.) were way too pretentious in over ordering the initial two waves from the movie that alot people may have wanted at the beginning but are now no longer interested in buying. Therefore, if they don't clearance this crap from the aisles we will most likely not see Waves 4 - 6 until early next year when they will switch it up to PoC.

I was thinking this very thing while I was out on my usual hunt earlier this week. ROC merchandise is literally falling off the pegs due to it being stocked so tight. Honestly I don't know how the stocking and re-stocking system works in retail but to the untrained eye I would say this stuff just ain't moving. The only time I saw ROC figures move in significant amounts was when TRU had the 2/$10 sale....that is the ONLY time I picked up ROC figures myself. I'm actually looking for a select few figures from the new wave but am wondering if I'm ever gonna see them. I mean, if there is no space on the shelf to even put new waves how are they ever gonna reach us. ROC figures are cluttering the pegs the same way Star Trek, Terminator, Indiana Jones and Wolverine figures did/are. I don't think that's a good sign. I love GI Joe and have since 1982 but for some reason I can't get behind this new stuff 100%. It has nothing to do with it not being "my" Joe or any of that other BS the rest of the Tankers want to debate into the ground. If I thought the figures were decent I'd buy them all. Unfortunately based on the amount of figures I see on the pegs I'm not alone in my way of thinking. I think retailers and Hasbro saw ROC as the relaunch of GI Joe and NOT the 25th Anniversary collection and therefore over purchased/over produced this line. The movie did okay but wasn't the runaway blockbuster they were expecting. In my mind a major clearance is no doubt on the horizon. When we'll see that is anybody's guess and how that will effect future waves remains to be seen.
For everyone willing to debate my views in this case doesn't understand that retailers could care less about action figures in particular and how much is actually available on the floor. Action figures; not toys on a whole, only increase each stores profit marginally and that's when they are related to summer blockbusters. So yes it may sell well but not as much as CDs, clothes, DVDs, electronics and other merchandise available. The most stolen/purchased/repacked toys are Bakugan, Hot Wheels and various play sets from Tyco, Playmobile, Lego, etc. When I worked at Target I saw Marvel Legends waves and VvV waves well stocked in the back that wouldn't be placed out there because there simply wasn't anyone around that bothered to put them out. So as far as restocking, it will happen; but, it will be with waves 2-3 and a little of 4 before 2009 is up. This bothers me a bit and that's the core reason why I only look on Wednesdays or Saturdays about twice a month now instead of almost everyday when the Modern Era was available. I really like some of the upcoming vehicles and a select few figures but I won't waste gas searching for these things during their anticipated release date here in MD, or PA, VA, DE and NYC. The Northeast Coast of the U.S. is always last at actually getting in shipments from China to Target trucks across country and finally on the floor aisles for an inflated price. If the clearance comes in the couple of weeks I'll get a few Eels and Elite Vipers, but hey its all up to these rigid and stubborn retailers to agree on an across the board mark down of this merchandise.
