Our Tele-Viper in the field, Kennywr22, has just provided promising news in relation to the recent price drop on G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra Figures at Target Stores.
Already this week,with just Sunday sales, Target has sold over 1,900 figures! With more product being sold, Fans & Collectors alike should be able to find newer waves on shelves in upcoming weeks.

Ok so after the prices coming down to 5.99 late last week there is a definite spike in sales. Last week target sold just over 7,500 figures up about 1,300 figures from the week before. Now that may seem like not alot but remember not all the stores got there prices changed right away and not everyone knows yet either. ALready this week,with just sunday sales(week starts on sundays) we have sold over 1,900 figures! That is great news. It looks like that trend should put the figures over 10,000 a week easy. Once they start selling these and newer waves come i, those should sell even faster. All in all the new price is making quite the difference, but like i stated before the cost is 6.25 a figure so that is not so great. One thing i found today that was very interesting was, we had 24 new stores open yesterday(grand openings) and i noticed that for those stores it had the cost per figure at 5.50. Very strange, but maybe that means target is getting them at a better cost going foward. Who knows. Oh and to compare that with the transformers figures with their new price of 10.00. They sold just over 10,000 last week.

Very good news. Now I am ready to start Army building those Vipers again.
kennywr22 says
I will check on the vehicle status but i don't think it is as promising. They really need to cut them just by a few bucks at least. The snake eyes role play sells quite good also. I know we continually restock that item.
LG says
Hopefully it is actually great news, and not just a pre-cursor to Target ceasing to carry Joes.
