Okay, we now know that the Target stores reported in their computer system a very strong sale of RoC figures. Thanks to Kennywr22, we will see how well the Pit sold at Target as well;
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...tml#post859635 Now for the other store, how does your Walmart store shelves look? Any Tankers know someone in Walmart who can show us how well RoC sold in its initial first week? |

half the walmart's i go to haven't even put out stuff yet. Said there's a street date on the boxes they have to follow.
I ahve no idea what the hell is wrong with these stores. It's obvious the street date is screwing things up all over. I just want a couple figures and can't even do that. I am so glad this line is aimed at kids cause it's making it much easier to do so. ::sigh:: stupid street dates. |

yeah walmart is being lazy about putting out ROC so its kind of hit and miss when you go to walmart, some stores have figs out and some dont, prolly have to wait a while before we can figure out how well sales are doing.

Yeah, nothing at Wal-Mart yet. Which makes no sense. They're losing alot of sales.

Mine had two sections of figures, and island (not roll out pallet) just before the toy aisles, and in the aisle. The island is mostly clear of figures and is all vehicles now, they don't look like they're selling. The aisle is still full of figures though. Almost as many as day one when I found them. I think I an see a lot RoC Joes hanging around into the fall and holiday season, as well as not many more supplemental shipments after this initial barrage at WM.

I just hit up Target for the RoC collection. They had gobs and gobs. I bought them and was incredibly impressed with the detail.
My guess is these sales will very much depend on the movie. If kids dig into the movie, those toys will be huge. Or it could be a Indiana Jones situation. We could see on clearance in a 3 months for 2 bucks... we will see.

This is 1 of the resons why I hate Walmart so much. They just suck when they want 2. I guess they'll be out next month when the movie drops. "maybe"

The Wal-Mart here in Elkin, NC, has not had ant Joes since April or so. Still did not have any yesterday, and I was so hyprd up from reading posts here that I took a 70 mile round trip just to get two figures from Target (went and got some stuff for my bike too, so the trip was not so one sided).
