Even the promo displays that have appeared are just a smattering of assorted GI Joe products, and seem mostly for stores that don't have significant dedicated toy sections.
Because retailers haven't done their fall resets. According to one of the managers (that I know don't bullshit me) my local Walmart won't do the action figure set until next week. I'm hopeful GI Joe stuff will be a part of it given they just put out a fresh case of Retro after not carrying the line this past spring.
Disregarding the physical guys, Amazon has had Ninja Core figures (and assorted other products) since
LAST MONTH
For eff sake, she isn't even on tap for the first waves of Classified movie figures! She was always going to be "wave 2", which has been slated for October since reveal. Worried about finding it? PREORDER IT!

You seem a tad defensive. Have family that works at Hasbro?
We read and heard for the longest time over and over again that Hasbro was holding back movie product in stateside warehouses. That there would be "several feet" of G.I. Joe product on shelves in retail stores come movie time. Well, where is it? The lame NEW excuse of "stores have to do their seasonal resets" is bogus. Has any movie tie-ins in the past waited around for seasonal resets? No. Waiting WEEKS after a movie has already come out to put out product is terrible marketing. The rate that this movie is not making money it will be out of theaters by the time stores get their resets done. I bet the box office drops like 70% next week. The movie tie-in products should have been out before the movie with those stupid street dates. This was the time when street dates make sense. When it ties into a movie release. Instead we got them earlier for no reason.
Mattel seemed to be able to get MOTU product out on shelves that tied into their new cartoon series that came out the same day. Haven't heard anything about MOTU needing to wait for a season reset.
I wonder what the next excuse will be? I'm going to guess shipping problems. People will blame that next. I don't know about others here but EVERY job I have ever had my bosses would not except any excuses. I was expected to "figure it out, adapt, and overcome." For example, I've seen companies lately blaming shipping. "We can't get shipping containers" or whatever. So they just give up and say will get the product to the states whenever, 6 months from now. Again, past jobs I have had I would have been fired for that excuse. I would be expected to figure it out. Fly overseas and secure containers if need be. Fly the product in. Whatever it takes. I am just amazed how so many people stay employed who seem to do a crap job, make excuses, never problem solve, never fix things, or make things right.
This is mostly a moot point for us collectors as long as we can continue to easily order stuff online. However, it should be a serious problem for Hasbro trying to attract NEW kids to the franchise. They need that product to be on store shelves for them.
