I said this in another thread and I'll say it again here - I actually wonder how well the new Joes are selling. It seems to me it's us (the collectors) buying, and once we find what we want, things just pegwarm.
I had so much trouble finding Baroness at first. Now she's everywhere. Then the Flash/Crimson Neo Viper wave. Now even Helix can be found everywhere. And unless there's a sale - it's the same figures that I always see... barely moved or touched. Maybe G.I. Joe has just become a niche :( Bah. I'm HOPING that's not the case. |

You could be right KungFu.
All of us adult collectors scurrying around trying to beat everyone else to the good stuff. Which, by the way, in a month will be warming the pegs. Why? Because "everyone else" is the 2 other collectors in our community.

We've got a poster here on the boards that's able to pull numbers from Target's computers on overall units for the line, and he's been reporting a total of about 50-70 thousand figures selling per week (across both "collections"). That's pretty dang good, and that's just one retail chain. No surprise the Clone Wars displays are going back up though...it was the best selling boys' toy line of the holiday season last year, and they'll no doubt be doing a "push" for the second season starting in a little over a month. He hasn't updated since before the movie came out, either. Last edited by Jmacq1; 08-25-2009 at 03:56 PM.. |

Before the movie release my TRU here in the UK had not one single joe figure none, so I guess they will remove the display too and and revert back to 0 figures again

I hate it when toy shops do that, Star Wars toys always get more love than Joe, certainly over here anyway.
