8 full pegs of GI joes are coming. 4 pegs of comic packs. Enough shelf space for a bunch of vehicles and dvd packs.
But is it too good to true? Could GI joes soon be flooding the shelves like Star Wars and every other toy line or will this year bring more Wild Bill, Jet Pack Duke, and Roadblocks? Could Hasbro be finally listening to the collectors and kids who want these figures? 8 pegs would imply that the store is ordering more of them. |

My Target.. well all 3 local Targets (yes 3) did the reset last week, and there is indeed a WHOLE lot of GI Joe space. I was lucky enough to pick up the 8 Mighty Muggs they made room for!
I took a picture on my cell phone though, at one target 6 of the 8 Pegs were filled with Cobra Flint. I swear there must have been 10-15 Cobra Flints. Someone must have hated on that figure big time and returned it for later waves. Now just back to waiting for the UBP to drop to 75% off... |

I also noticed they added a large section of "Officially Licensed by the Army/Navy/Marines" FUGLY action figure section next to GI Joe.
Man those figures have the UGLIEST faces I've ever seen on an action figure. Like someone purposefully made them hideous. Its not like a bad mo-cap or something, its just.. ugggg. Bad. |

I think that most of this space will be filled by the movie and resolute lines. I hope they keep the modern era figures coming too though.

Umm did all your Targets have smaller sections before?The Targets near me did their resets and its the same 4 ft section space they had before but they just added space for the Muggs.They always had this 4 ft space with all the pegs for singles and comic packs.I don't see the difference and all the hype???

I'm thinking the movie stuff is gonna flood in, just like it did months in advance of Iron Man and Hulk. I'm sure we'll get more 25th too. Hopefully I'll finally see some wave 11 and maybe wave 13! And a damn Water Moccasin! Just ONE!

Nothing at my Target. It's disappointing as ever. The shelves on the bottom are lined up with 10 UBP's and there are NO single carded figures. I have the greatest Target in the world !!
