Ok, I was out with my daughter trying to finish up some Christmas shopping and stopped by one of my local Meijers. Of course i go to the toy aisles to check if they had any new Joe stuff. Oh, they had some new Joe stuff alright. They got in a BUTT load of those VvV single junk packs that are showing up at the Dollar stores, you know for $3. I thought, OK, they got some cheap figures for the holidays, but the thing was they had them hanging on the pegs for the 25th line for 6.99. I thought there was no way they were trying to sell these for 6.99. So i took one to the price sanner at the end of the aisle and you guessed it, they are selling, OR are going to try to sell these for 6.99 a piece. There is no way in hell that anyone would pay that for these. I mean, KB is tring to sell them for around $5 i think. Oh well, I took some pics and will be posting in a few minutes.

Yeah, someone was talking about this over at JoeSightings a few days ago. Sounds like this store has no clue what they're doing.

Saw this in Michigan last week too. Out of five Meijers in my area no new 25th stuff since August. Then these VvV figures show up last week.

Yeah, I saw those too, back in Nov. when I was visiting family up in OH. I forgot about that. What a joke! I really think it's just a stupid mistake. Those crappers will warm pegs until they rot at that price. They aren't worth a penny over $2. Shoot, that's generous for those turds. Send 'em to the Dollar store...

I'm sure Meijer's is completely content with their amount of business knowedge and acumen that keeps its multi-million dollar supermarket chain alive and well, even if it is at the expense of being a toy experts. I don't know about som eof you, but I'd gladly trade my in-depth knowledge of G.I. Joes to be in the position of those in charge of Meijers, who apparently don't know what they are doing according to this thread.
