I noticed that the "home" for the Joe toys in the collector's aisle was always in flux. Every time they got the product in, the store would have to make room for it and when it would sell out, they'd have to fill the hole with other product. That would be a hassle during the xmas season. I also noticed the store's backrooms were packed with product during the holidays and I wonder how much of it never made it to the salesfloor for Christmas. Maybe Joe stuff was given a low priority by certain stores and left in the backroom. Could be there are/were cases of the Joe stuff still sitting on pallets in backrooms of some stores.
I do know that most stores conduct inventory in January, so now would be the time for any of these hypothetical "lost" cases to start showing up on the salesfloor as they prepare for that inventory. I wonder if the DCs also have inventories in January. If so, I'd imagine they'd start pushing product out to the stores to make their own inventory go smoother. Mind you, this is all sheer speculative musing on my part. I got's no insider info, nor am I implying I know what I'm talking about. |

IMO the shortage is too widespread to be attributed to being lost in the stockroom.
Considering that the Alpine and Gung-Ho waves were still shipping to my stores within weeks if not days before the new stuff hit last year, I would expect TRU will be re-ordering from Hasbro and stocking the 2016 stuff throughout the year. |

They had to make more than were distributed to TRU. I wonder if these will start popping up at Marshalls and such stores.

I went to my local TRU hoping to find an extra IG/Viper set, but there wasn't a sign of any GI Joes whatsoever.
