Target "pulled" the line last summer as a result of the delay (I'm actually leaning towards the recent reappearance being early reships, myself). The PLAN was to put this stuff back out after Christmas when the line is "relaunched" on the new modulars, however, somebody isn't giving a crap and pulling whatever toys are in the back for Christmas. Because Joes aren't technically on the modular (and unlikely to be replenished), many managers are marking them clearance, ignorant of the fact they'll be carrying the stuff in a few weeks anyway. I'm personally not ready to read anything more into this than a lack of communication and store level indifference/ignorance.

I might believe that except for the pricing, This is EXACTLY what happened to the DOTM Transformers just before they were clearanced. Note they are not clearanced yet, they are marked up higher than they were initially and an even dollar amount (no .99) Some of the Transformers that had this happen to them "Disappeared" for a while too.

Personally I am not interested in any of the movie toys even at a discount. There is nothing exciting in the line and I really don't need a bunch of ninja stuff. I liked the ROC line. It had a personality that gave it character. Sure it wasn't great but it was fun. This new line is just sad. If this is the best Hasbro can do for Joes, then we will see it end up on the clearance alter alone and forgotten.
I did fin a use for one of the toys though. I had to repaint it and custom it but atleast it looks better.

Meh, the Hiss tank is OK, but i feel hasbro went terribly wrong some where with the design and it could have been better i think. The GH II I had two of them and took them back, they felt Dollar General store cheap plastic and the VTOL wing and engine wouldnt stay snapped in on mine. The only items im looking forward too is some of the figures and most of all the Ninja combat cruiser and thats about it.
and 4 of my local Targets hasnt had anything Joe related in a loonng time! |

I picked up a Fangboat on clearance last week at Target for $8ish including tax. Pretty mediocre vehicle but I'm a sucker for Water Moccassins.

The Bravo Vehicles were marked $31.00, the Single Card Figures $10.00 Note the even dollar amounts. This is something Target has started doing this last year and did so with the TF Dark of the Moon figures. They jack up the prices (in some cases to insane levels) and they are an even dollar amount (No retail store prices things at an even amount) they sit for a few days to a few weeks in a prime shelf spot and then the get clearanced with the first markdown usually heigher than the original price before the markup.
Even at 70% off I wouldn't pick up none of that shit.
