Just got both Resolute 7-packs as well as the Dreadnocks 7-pack from BBTS. I like that the Joe Resolute set has figures that aren't as brightly colored as pictured in promo pics. The Resolute Cobra set is let down, with Zartan being the best out the whole pack. The Dreadnocks all look awesome with the exception of Zanzibar which is a horrible modernized look for a biker gang/pirate dude.
Also, TRU is the only place currently restocking with waves 3 & 4. Depending upon where you live, Walmart is either expanding the space for Joes or placing them on clearance. Super-Walmart in Laurel is no longer carrying Joes until May, when the movie comes out. I spoke to Jeff (toy dept. manager) this week and he said that all the orders for G.I. Joes are scheduled for May release so I guess it's above his ability to continue ordering from the 30th Anniversary/ Renegades selection.

TRU on route 40 is closing. Sign says everything is on sale up to 30%. Figures are only 10% off right now. Store is already pretty barren but you may find something.

Aww man. Don't get down there much anymore, but that was the closest TRU to me growing up (about 20 minutes away, at least a little closer than the Kiddie City in Bel Air) and I couldn't even BEGIN to guess how many Joes I bought there as a kid. Damn.

Not surprised though... that had to be one of the oldest, outdated stores in the tri-state area... was usually pretty empty, that whole shopping center is just lame.
rarely found anything there but disappointment, and for that the shelves were stocked high.

Didn't know that was closing; definitely a bummer. Close to various family and usually had better luck there than Columbia or Glen Burnie.
So I know there's been some dialogue between board members and walmart managers. Does anyone know why they are keeping 4+ pegs on the new floor set if they aren't carrying joes until April/May? I have to imagine there will be a new action figure layout coming with all the summer movies... |

I have to imagine there will be a new action figure layout coming with all the summer movies... As for Super Walmart in Laurel, MD I think this may be the case. If the distribution center has some cases of 30th Anniversary/PoC/Renagades left after the Spring reset they might just find their way to this location. This doesn't mean that the store had to order more because technically its just going to get sent there if its available in the system. On the down side, I've seen somewhere here that Hasbro's ordering list that being used by Walmart doesn't have Joes on it at all. Avengers, Transformers, Marvel, Star Wars, etc. but Joes most likely won't be reordered until Hasbro releases assortment information for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. As for what in the hell is going on with Pursuit of Cobra leftovers hitting discounters that has me at a lost. Since a majority of the PoC vehicles already hit stores like Ross and Marshall's my guess is that just enough was made for the orders that Hasbro received by retailers. If we get any at all it will be at a minimal, which is good for the brand.
