I really hate to say this, but I'm noticing what may be peg-warming already. Roadblock, Destro, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are hanging around now in sizable numbers. If they're still plentiful next week it probably means the small-ish group of collectors got what they wanted (except maybe Scarlett and Baroness), the scalpers are no longer making enough money on those figures to justify buying them and everyone else just doesn't care all that much.
These waves may need to be supplemented with a Baroness and Scarlett only (or include them within the next wave of figures) shipment. I think it is still early, but once we really get rolling with the holiday shopping this year, we may see some parents pick these up as Holiday gifts for their children and grandchildren. I think back to my first encounters with GIJOE and if I remember correctly it was a VAMP, Stalker, and Snake Eyes (shortly followed or preceded by a Short Fuze figure). I am enthusiastically anticipating that these kids, who are about to experience the characters for the first time, just might see how awesome the toys are and may decide to use this little thing they call The internet to discover multiple different GIJOE universes, be it comics, cartoons, movies, books, games, etc. I believe there will especially be interest in figures/toys this holiday season as parents are feeling bad about the social isolation this amazing generation has been enduring during these past 8 months and anticipated next few months. This pandemic in a way has had to force us all to slow down and reassess how we live our lives. Prior to this, parents seemed to allow there children to have unfettered video game and internet screen time which really hurt the boys action figure market. I believe with all of the digital learning and screen time these kids are navigating that their parents will be looking for alternatives to screen time activities. This will lead to a much more imaginative child. Just my thoughts about this all.
