GIJOE RETALIATION MOVIE TOY LAUNCH WHAT DID YOU SEE?
After spending the better part of my holiday morning hunting down GIJOE Retaliation movie toys, I think it's safe to say there is no recall on the first wave of action figures. For the most part, stores like Target and Wal-Mart stuck to street date while TRU put out stock early. I started my hunt at the local Target and spoke with the actual Store Manager who stated that there is no such recall that he was informed of. Most stores I went into in the Gulf side of Florida (Tampa Bay) were stocking the toys this morning, including Spider-Man and Bat-Man movie toys. The one thing that I would like to point out is that the stock of GIJOE Retaliation that I saw hitting the shelf was much smaller then I had expected. Most stores got one or two cases of single cards and were also very light on vehicles. I did not see the NINJA 3 packs. I don't think the movie being pushed back had anything to do with the stock levels that the stores had on hand, but rather the orders for the second GIJOE Movie Line are much smaller then ROC. Bottom line is, if you want these, get them while you still can. Stock is light and who knows if we will see wave 2 before Hasbro stops shipping the product to retail.

I found nothing at TRU, Nothing at Walmart, and Target was the big winner who had everything but the Hiss Tank and Ghost Hawk. They only had 4 Three packs, about 2 cases on singles, and 2 of each vehicle. I do think that this is it on the figures though, once they are gone I do not see there being a restock.

I went to 9 stores since 6 AM....9 stores.There are no Joes to be found at Target or Wal-Mart in the 30 square miles that I've driven around. So much for sticking to the release date.Gonna hit up TRU next...but I doubt they'll put out anything during the sale.
Thanks a lot HASBRO!!!

I saw one case of everything, the only exception being two cases of wave 1 singles at Target. It was great to see new Joes on the shelf again, it's been practically six months. I went to two Walmarts and saw nothing, except a single case of RET motorcycles at one Walmart.

Only 1 store had action figures from the movie. 1 Walmart had some of the motorcycles and swords and masks. TRU had Roadblock's pistol toy. 1 Target didn't have tags on the pegs for Joes at all. 1 Walmart had pegs set up for Joes ... but no Joes. Only found the toys at a Target that was putting out everything for Joes, Batman, Spiderman, etc today.
