I know here in the south every Wal Mart I hit has 20-30 sitting there.
On a side note, I was at my local target about to put post its on the pegs that had been empty for weeks, when a whole team (including the manager) were on the aisle putting out the SW Order 66 and TF clearance tubes. I checked the scanner for the Joe dcpi # and the Joe Vehicles were coming up at $2.96! I rushed back over and asked the manager if they had any of the Target exclusive vehicles on clearance with the SW & TF's. Her reply and I quote:"Do we even sell GI Joe"? When I picked up my jaw off of the floor I showed her the four empty pegs and explained to her that they NEVER have any in stock and I would buy all they had if they would order some. She seemed to get the idea, but then was distracted by a shiny object so who knows? I'll keep trying. |

OMG!
I see your signs!!!!! Thats funny its you. =) I see targets putting crappy 21st century toys on joe pegs so i take them off and put them by star wars. Also some targets turn joe label around so i turn them back around. At walmart they shrink joe area when out and put corps in thir place. I have been repegging walmart pegs keeping joe pegs clear and putting post it on peg saying more please =) as for viper peg warmers. walmart at bell & 101 has like 10. Thats the one where card bender was wreaking havoc |

That's awesome that you saw my signs.
I've done things like that at Target too, but with their new price on Joes I am not buying there anymore.

i said i was in and i am...finally. took me a few weeks, but im on vacation this week...not going anywhere, just taking a break from the grind.
so ive been putting these out at walmart and tru. the first one goes to the ones that suck. but there is one walmart about 10 miles, but in another state nonetheless, where i found hawk, snowserpent, barbecue, bazooka and new comic packs.....they get the second note. theyre on looseleaf paper so i can slip it onto the peg thru the holes, keeping the note relatively intact. figured i have to give thanks where it is due....if your gonna bitch at the guilty, praise the innocent.

I decided to try this at K-Mart Saturday night after I bought the last figure on the pegs. Left my note then bought my figure. 3 days later, the note is still there! There was a clearanced Star Wars Sandtrooper on the peg covering the note, so I moved the figure. This being K-Mart, I shouldn't be surprised that the note is untouched
BTW, The Wal-Mart that had 10 vipers is now up to 19! Gee, thanx for sending out extra cases of Wave 7 Hasbro |

went to walmart this morning after i dropped my wife off at work...a walmart that i had hit with "please order more" notes, two days prior....
scored the new comic packs (copperhead wave).................... no new single carded figs...still the "boxed set" wave staring me in the face. i had a "stock more please" in my pocket, but felt the urge to be happy and found a pen, tore the bottom off and scrawled "thanks" and hung it on the peg where the comic packs were. normally i dont cotton to overly-thanking someone for doing their regular job....above and beyond? sure....but normal duties? no, "courtesy" thanks only. but sometimes you gotta give the lessers a small pat on the ass to try and keep the momentum going. do i think the notes earlier in the week helped? probably not. that may've been too short a time for new product to be ordered and delivered. however, as long as we're not vulgar about it, i dont see where the notes can hurt and i, for one, will continue to ask for more, and thank when i get them. |
