Especially when you essentially market it as a niche collector line. Most people will want one of each (at least).

The fact that my striker was the only thing canceled so far with the other items delayed makes me wonder if there is this idea that by preventing one individual from being able to acquire all exclusive items without walking into the brick and mortar stores negates their goal of increasing foot traffic and impulsive purchases which they expect from acquiring exclusive rights to a product. So remove at least one item and that collector completion mentality takes over and has some entering the stores and subsequently picking up groceries or other necessities from Walmart. I am sure I am giving them too much credit and it is simply mismanagement of supply and anticipation of demand.

Anyone getting a nice amount of preorders coming in? I only go one Hiss and one SS. Quite a bit more was ordered.

Mostly I found my stuff in store. Helped out a buddy of mine who is a big Stormshadow fan. Anyone need a Retro Baroness. I picked up an extra. Would like to trade for Scarlett or Destro.

You’ve received a Retro RB preorder from Walmart?

Yes I do believe I did.
EDIT: actually no I am lying. RB was a ebay pre order not Walmart.

So do you guys think that this line will continue on beyond a few waves or think it might continue long enough to give us some of the later parts of the Joe line...
I just don't see it surviving that long as a Walmart exclusive. |

I think you nailed it- if it wasn’t a Walmart exclusive, I think it could continue as a companion line to Classified.
