So I went out hunting for some more POC figures 2day at 2 Targets and 2 Wal-Marts. The first place I went was the Wal-Mart right around the corner from my house that has been remodeling for months now. This is the 3rd time I've been there in the past week and the first time I went they had about 2 or 3 cases of figs plus about 2 cases of the vehicles and mechs all at the regular price and I picked up 3 or 4 figs that I was looking for. So I went a couple days later and they only had a few Dukes and Storm Shadows left (these are officially the pegwarmers of this wave as they are the only ones I see anymore) but still had most of the vehicles and mechs still at regular prices.
When I went 2day they had completely reset their only 2 toy aisles just weeks after they had just reset it because of the remodel and low and behold...no more Joes!!! I read every tag and no Joes at all. I asked the guy stocking the toy aisle and he said he didn't think they would be carrying Joes anymore but didn't know why. So then I went 2 the toy clearance section and found 2 POC Ghost Hawks clearanced for $10 but that was it. Then I asked him if they have any more on clearance and he takes me around the corner where they have another whole aisle of clearanced toys and I didn't see any Joes but I did see some Transformers so I take one off the peg 2 see how much it is and right behind it was a Chase CC! There was no price so when I brought it 2 the cashier I told her it was in clearance but no price and that it wasn't in the regular toy section either so she had the manager check and they couldn't find anymore either so they gave it 2 me for $3 :-) So, has anyone else seen anything like this anywhere else? Oh yea, and I did find one Alley Viper at the other Wal-Mart I went to hidden behind about 5-10 Storm Shadows and Dukes lol. So, overall I had a pretty good day of hunting but just thought the clearanced Joes were kind of weird after only being released for less than 2 weeks.

It could be just that Wal-Mart. Some Wally World's don't carry as much stuff as others for some reason.

My Walmart just finished their reset and it has a similar setup to Target with the exception of 2 added locations for the Bravo vehicles on the first and second shelf.The Mechs on the first shelf and the Alphas on the second shelf.The pegs have the POC swords and masks and a row for single figures about 5 pegs.The only thing that was odd was they were overloaded with 50+ ROC figures and the label even said G.I. Joe Movie 1.I even looked at the modular sheet that was still hanging on the pegboard and it also said G.I. Joe Movie 1 at the locations.It seems like this particular Walmart is being stingy and refusing to clearance out all those old ROC figures.

A lot of recently remodeled stores cut their toy section to give more space to electronics.

Great finds. My Wal-Mart carries none of the new Joe stuff. And what really sucks is that I am stuck without a car. Which means I cannot go looking in my neighboring city for new figs for a while.

Jeebus people, is it that slow today? Somebody c***s up at Failmart and it's "d3a7h 0f 73h l!n3!!1!!1!"?
Shockingly enough, not everybody in the outside world knows everything there is about Joes. They probably told some douche to clearance the last of the RoC crap and he got the PoC too by mistake. |
