I remember reading a news article a couple of weeks ago mentioning that Hasbro's "core brands" such as TFs, My Little Pony, and G.I. Joe did really well at retail for the holidays. Has anyone come across any confirming info of this other than the chronically weak Joe sections that we always seem to find at our local stores? Would be great if our favorite line did gangbusters with strong sales outside of fans like ourselves.

cant say about the info you heard about, but i know the SS, Black Dragons, VAMP II and the new Crimson Hiss tanks along with the new renegades and the 30th line didnt last long in my neck of the woods and its been two weeks and both walmarts and TRU havent restocked, unless their waiting to do their isle resets.

Hmm...not sure. I can tell you that GI Joe sold out at our ROSS stores (I was surprised because there were a lot of vehicles but all were sold by Christmas Eve) and a lot of figures non-Renegade and the vehicles sold quickly at Wal-Mart, unfort. the same can't be said about our Target store. Probably because of the price.

Christmas shopping seems to have made a pretty good dent in the stock in my area. I don't see pegs clogged like they were before the holidays.

not sure, but they sold so many single figures at my tru that they jacked up the price and the pegs still cleared without an issue.

Most stores in my area cleared out a good amount of stuff. Unfortunately the Target in Pasadena still only has Arctic Destros for days.
