My guess is Monday.
Assuming, of course, that the news about Hasbro asking retailers to return product is bogus (or that they ignore it).

I would look them in the eye and say they were mad as bat sh#t for asking that, and say hey, we have a contract with you to deliver the rest of your product for Quarter 2, Quarter 3, and Quarter 4. We based a large percentage of our toy sales plans around this product for the season. Deliver per contract, or face legal repercussions. Oh, and by the way, if you don't deliver as promised, go f#$% yourselves next year, because you won't be getting any further orders. Messing up a retailers sales plan and quarterly projections because of a 3-d cash grab on the movie studio's part is one thing, destroying projections, refusing to ship product AND asking the retailer to box / label / return ship back to the distributor is insane. As a buyer for over 10 years, I would have LAUGHED at any sales rep that made that phone call, sent him an invoice for the costs of our employee time, and NEVER returned a phone call again afterward. This is just crazy talk. I can't believe it. They are just action figures, but the absurdity of the business model and business practice is just astounding.

I hit the Frederick area yesterday. Target and Wall Mart had nothing. TRU had the motor cycles out and 1 row of Retaliation figs. Picked up 1 of each that they had but still missing Red Ninja and the 2 troopers. They also had the DKR figs, absolutely pathetic figs for a great movie line. TRU also had the Spiderman movie figs. Picked up a super posable Spiderman and that was i t. Talked to the Target and WM sales ma.avers and they said they have no plans to put out any new GIJ on Monday so that could be a bad sign.

As far as Joes go, F%^ it, I highly doubt stores are going to send back what they already have. I'ts going to be hit or miss tomorrow and if your store hasn't already made room on pegs for it, its not going to make it there.

For the Star Wars geeks......
K-Mart in Pasadena has the B-wing on clearance for $14.99. Picked up one but left one (last one as far as I could tell)...located in overstock...damaged box.

Had to run to Target in Frederick this morning for cookout supplies and scored 2 GI Joe Retaliation 3 packs as well as the rest of wave 1. If u want wave 1 I suggest hitting the stores up early today as most stores only got 1 box of the single figs and 1 box of 3 packs. I scored a blue Cobra Commander yesterday but got an all black Cobra Commander this morning, only 1 in the box. They also were putting out the vehicles but I passed on those. Good hunting guys.
