I found a new (forget which wave) Cobra Commander at the Walmart in Turnersville. That's about the only sign of life I've seen.

Hellion I think that's the first sighting of that wave in NJ posted here.

I believe you're right Owner. Pennsylvania just started seeing them so it's a matter of time now

The pegs were pretty much bare otherwise (I'm thinking an arctic Destro or two, but in all honesty I've stopped "seeing" certain figures), so I'm guessing one of two things happened:
- New wave(s) came in and they got cleared out - Someone returned part of their online order Once upon a time this store used to be my go-to for stuff nobody else was getting in, but that hasn't been the case in quite a while. So I'm not sure what to think. |

I think the biggest problem is they send this stuff out to store in one shot, a couple of case...I'd estimate 2 or 3 of each wave. We run out, nail it and then were done until next wave arrives.
I think both us and Hasbro need to re-adjust our thinking on distribution and acquisition...clearly stores just are not ordering quantites of Joe that keep us happy...and I get why, I mean some of this stuff just sits there...see Arctic Destro as perfect example, but I think Hasbro needs to use HTS better...if stores aren't ordering large quantites than we need them available online. To me the answer would be to send the stores what they order and then do what stores like BBTS do...offer each wave one of each figure for sale at HTS...and then Troop Builder cases...the last wave we saw at retail had Viper, IG's and Rock Vipers, I think if we saw say a case of each offered at HTS people wouldd buy them...hell I think I'd do it just to avoid the running around hunting at this point. |
