Are these being found on normal pegs in the isles or just on the small endcap shippers? If they are in the normal isle, next to what other stuff?
I have had zero luck on figures and am just waiting for my preorders to be canceled so I'd like to get em locally. BrickSeek shows a couple stores with HISS and AWEs which I already received, but nothing for figures. I was surprised to see there are reports of W2 already here in MN. I cant find any empty pegs or shippers for W1 or W2. |

I've been to 3 different WM in the past week, where their app says they have 6 items left in stock for the Retro figures. I go in, and I have them scan the tag, or one of the UPC's posted on here, and their thing says there are 6 on the floor. I ask, where are they, and they said it was just bought, or there is a stocking error. The problem, is that I have found one of these figures when it says 1 in stock, and within 5 minutes of me checking out, the app says out of stock. I don't think anyone just bought these figures. I think, that the case was just put aside for some employee to buy later. It just drives me nuts, as some of these WM's are way out of the way.
Them: "it says we should have them, so they're probably out here on the shelf." Me: "Oh, you mean this empty peg that you just scanned for me right here?" Them: "We must not have them then. My favorite exchange of this entire hunt: Me: "The app says there are 4+ here." Them: "If they aren't out here then we don't have them." Me: "Can you please check?" They walk 2 aisles over and start complaining to another employee about my request loud enough for me to hear them for 5 minutes before returning. Them: "We don't have them." Me: "Can you check the back room?" Them: "We don't have a back room." My Awesomely Supportive Girlfriend: "Yes, that seems likely that you don't have a back room and every single item you sell in the store gets carried in the front door." Them: "Stop wasting my time." If anyone is curious, the # on the shelf tag on the peg for figures that they can scan to check has the code 0953-0004 on it and each store inventories them under the "assorted retro line figure" SKU, making it heavily difficult to call them when they say they need a UPC to look it up. |

Those MU style hips are a death sentence for the Joe line if they are adopted. Back in 2010 or so, those kind of hips were generally sufficient as Hasbro used sturdier plastic. But for the past 5 years or so, the MU figures have been DOA after 5 minutes of kids playtime. The leg plastic is too soft and they pop right off. Reattachment stretches out the plastic which leads to a rapid downward spiral.
I hope someone sees this and rights the ship! Those his are fine for ML as the figures are much larger and there is more plastic. They are no bueno for Joe!

I feel your pain. I did another 200 mile loop this week and employees scanned the shelf tags. One store was supposed to have 16, another 14, another 12, and another 6. At each store it took over 45 minutes to try to find an employee to "help."
Them: "it says we should have them, so they're probably out here on the shelf." Me: "Oh, you mean this empty peg that you just scanned for me right here?" Them: "We must not have them then.

I had a guy go in back, look and confirm they had 3 cases of AWEs. He said he wasn't allowed to to grab them though because he doesn't work in toys. Ok.... then why did you even go check?! Just to piss me off more about the entire situation?

I really hope all this empty peg nonsense at least diminishes somewhat with resets and as we approach the Christmas season

In my experience, empty pegs is the norm for any kind of in-demand collectible toys. I don't know why people expect to see full pegs of Joes ever again. Do high demand Star Wars Black Series just sit around at Walmart and Target? Marvel Legends? Transformers? When was the last time you walked into a Walmart and saw pegs full of stormtroopers, Mandalorians, Legends other than Black Widow, or Earthrise Optimus Prime on consecutive days?

Almost like I lived through the same thing two months ago, when the Cobra Island figures were supposed to drop. |
