GI Joe Retaliation 3.75" Figures Series 04 - Set of 4 - GI Joe GI Joe Retaliation Movie (2013) GI Joe 3.75" Figures I got 5 of those sets lined up. Not taking any chances on potentially one of the last army builders well see for a while/lost to the cancelled vault forever till Hasbro can work our their issues with Joe products.

Target cleared out their NFL McFarlane Sports Picks that had been lingering too. But I'm sure they'll have the new waves this fall. Even Star Wars and Transformers stuff gets clearance tags.
But yeah, this is all the warning that anyone that actually wants wave 4 should need. Buy it online now, because nobody will have any pity for anyone that complains that they couldn't find the figures in stores later this year. |

That's not my understanding of how closeout retailers work. My understanding is that they buy up unsold merchandise from other retailers at rock-bottom prices and then sell it in their stores. They do NOT go directly from the manufacturers. If they did, they would have far more consistency in terms of what products end up in their stores.
Especially when nearly every year they end up getting leftover store exclusives from the previous year, often with the "Only at <insert retailer here>" stickers still on them. Generally store exclusives are for a "set" order number. If the closeout retailers weren't buying from the retailers, they would never be able to get those exclusives. Until someone shows us an Eaglehawk and a Target receipt, nothing is certain. Heck, they had the Eaglehawk in their system before it was even announced at Toy Fair, and by Joe Con, it was being announced as a TRU/E-tailer exclusive. I doubt Hasbro would've omitted Target from that list if they were still going to be carrying it. Easy proof: For the past 6 months those Marvel 4" comic two packs were stagnating at every target around. All of a sudden a few weeks ago all the targets got 4-5 more cases of them from the warehouse and they went on immediate clearance. Same with the Joe Hiss tanks (and whatever else was in that wave) and the figures. Stores near me had 2-3 Hisses for months, then all of a sudden they get in 2 new cases each right when the clearance starts. Those godawful spinner things are the same way. If your way was true, all that stuff in the warehouse would have gone to TJX (et al), not out to their stores. Also, Target's clearance methods: They mark down everything every week (different depts each day). Toys are mostly Thursdays. So every week (or sometimes every other week) prices drop from 15%, to 30%, to 50% to 70% and sometimes 90%. But sometimes they'll have 5 zillion of something and it will go 15, 30, 50, then they all disappear. That happens when they (the clearance teams) pull the product and ship it to Goodwill. Not your local goodwill store, but to the Goodwill distro center for whatever area. That's how they say they "donate 10% of income to local charities", they credit the full retail price of clearance stuff on their taxes (totally legal and legit). tl:dr ver: target clearances things in stores and if they dont sell they give it to charity. They *do not* sell stuff to TJ Maxx (et al). The discount stores buy directly from Hasbro (or clothing companies, kitchen companies, whatever). It is simply too cost prohibitive to take clearance merchandise from stores and ship it to a warehouse, inventory it, find someone to buy it (discounters in this scenario), ship it to them, they confirm the inventory, price it, re-ship it to their own stores, and sell it. |
