Two weeks ago, the Target nearest my house got in one case of Wave 6. Someone beat me to the IGs, but I bought 6 figures that day, leaving behind 4. When I took them to the register they rang up as "item not found" but the clerk just put in the price, so I didn't think anything of it.
That weekend I went back and the other 4 were gone (someone else presumably bought them). So I resolved to go back mid-week to check, and ask when they might get more if none were there. Last Tuesday I went in, still none in stock. I asked the guy to check on them and when he checked in the computer it still said they had 12! I told him that when I bought mine they rang up "item not found" and he said they were probly sold as "generic toy" instead of the actual GI Joe DPCI, so the computer thinks they're still in the store. The problem with this is, they'll never get any back in, until someone fixes the quantity in the computer. He manually adjusted the quantity to zero. Today, I went in and LO AND BEHOLD a whole new case! I scanned one at the little price-check computer and it still rang up 'item not found!' I found a target employee and pointed it out, telling the story I posted above and he pulled them and took them to the customer service desk to have them put in the system (or whatever they have to do to fix it). I bought the 1 viper I still needed, but had to give the cashier the proper DPCI from the tag, as obviously it didn't ring up. So if your Target has a strangely low quantity of Joes, ask a clerk to compare how many the computer says with how many are actually there. They may have gotten in a bunch of Wave 6 and sold them off, but the computer thinks they're still there. See if they'll adjust it for you, and check back to see when they get replacements in. Target employees! (I know there are at least a few of you on here) please add the UPC/SKUs for wave 6 (and presumably wave 5) to the system so that we can all get out Joe fix! Here are all the proper UPC/SKUs and the Target DPCI so that you can check with your local Target and possibly have them take a look in the computer: Target DPCI 087-06-2239 UPC/SKUs: Wave 5 Hasbro # Qty Name UPC 35544 2 Blowtorch 653569625872 35545 2 General Hawk 653569625896 35546 2 Steel Brigade 653569625919 35547 2 Cobra the Enemy 653569625926 35548 2 Cobra Commander 653569625933 35549 2 Jungle B.A.T. 653569625940 Wave 6 35550 2 Snake Eyes Temple Grd 653569625957 35551 2 Crazy Legs 653569625964 35552 2 Croc Master 653569625971 35553 2 Rock Viper 653569625988 35554 2 Viper 653569625995 35555 2 Iron Grenadier 653569626008 (I also called the Target customer service #, but they were clueless. They gave me an email address which I sent this info to, but I have yet to hear anything from them) |

What I find odd is that my local Target went from having a glut (4 full pegs' worth) of the normal PoC Wave 2 pegwarmers, to suddenly only having a pair of Arctic Destros on-pegs.

The reason my Target doesn't get Joe's in is that the pegs are completely filled with Wave 2 and leftovers from the Wave 3 endcap display.

Yeah, um, my local Target stores have actually lessened the space were the G.I. Joes are. Their pegs are now taken by the generic joes with no new figures on the way, and the joes have maybe two pegs to hang off of.

My Target just did a huge reset...for Transformers. They got a ton of the new Transformers (which I think are poo). They only have 4 pegs total set for GI Joe and maybe enough room for 1/2 a SkyStriker. This sucks!!!

if you are near the colonial heights Target it is because I bought every figure off the pegs so they would restock.

Next time you're in, have a clerk check that DCPI that I posted. I'll bet the 'computer thinks they have 8 or 10 of them when they really don't have any.

That's exactly what I did to get my target to get the wave 6 I posted about in. After they get in their wave 6, be sure they ring up properly or you'll be right where I was.

Did you buy them all from the super target on 28? I wondered where all the peg warmers went lol.
