I just received the Toys R Us "The Great Big Christmas Book" catalog in the mail.
Absolutely NO references to GI JOE anything that I was able to see. What do you think about that? |

Have you seen tru.com, hardly anything comes up for GI Joe. Some stuff is still there but not if you use the search feature...

Eh...no big suprise...I doubt any store holiday books will have Joe in them...I mean lets face it...Joe was at best given token space during their movie release at retail which was a hell of a lot more space 25th saw, or PoC is currently seeing.
Stores are gonna wanna move that Transformers and Star Wars stuff (and that Ironman 2 stuff which has a large section still but seems to not be moving IMO) which has like 10x the shelf space Joe currently has, so I'm not terribly suprised. |

Yah, TRU is probably still mad because of all the ROC Night Ravens they still have to get rid of. LOL. I love looking through that book though and pretending I was a kid.

Over here TRU have the ROC Night Raven advertised in their Christmas catalogue for iirc £9.99 (and of course no POC here at all - and I see you guys in the US complaining about POC peg warmers.... grrrr!)

I'm not surprised in the least. Presently G.I. Joe is a niche line and they're not really getting a big "push" this year (retail-wise). The "big christmas book" is all about "what's hot this season" not "Oh and here's another ongoing line from Hasbro that your kids might vaguely remember from that movie last year." I doubt we see Marvel Universe stuff in the Great Big Christmas Book either, do we? (Well, maybe the electronic Galactus, but I'd even be surprised by that).
