IIRC, these toy company reps are actually supplied by third-party merchandising companies and aren't really connected to Hasbro or Mattel. I could be wrong about that, but most "reps" you see in stores are like that nowadays. They just do assigned tasks and don't really have any answers. The Hasbro rep I lucked into a couple of weeks ago didn't know shit except what was on her "task list." I asked her about the Retro product, and she said the store hadn't set the POG yet. I showed her the empty pegs for the Retro figures and she was genuinely surprised. Since she now had some place to put the product, she pulled a Retro wave 2 case out of the back (she said it was on a pallet), hung them on the pegs and that's the story of how I got my Retro Scarlett.
Cheers!

Basically, in my situation, that rep was saying she can't put something on the salesfloor if it doesn't have a plan-o-grammed "home". She hadn't noticed or realized the store set the aisle to the new POG until I pointed out the pegs to her. After that, she was free to get them out of the back. Even if that store had had an empty Joe sidecap hanging there, I doubt she would've been able to put those wave 2 figures in it because that wasn't their allocated place. I'm sure a Walmart employee could've, but these reps are purely task-based and follow the instructions they're given. Her instructions probably say something like, "Stock GI Joe Retro Asst (numbers) according to POG (numbers)."

They aren't even using the endcaps anymore. Most stores have a peg with a label. The endcaps never had a label. Just a sign above it saying $12.93. Chances are they were going to throw them out, even if they never put them up. They will probably put the figures on the pegs. It makes a really good display piece for your home collection.

The end cap for the retro figures was pretty ugly with the pegs sticking out I had a chance to be a 'asshat theif' but I don't steal garbage. They did a better job with the classified endcap.

The retro endcap looks good when figures are on it.

Hopefully in 2021 we see a greater presence of Classified on pegs as kids don't stand a chance at buying these with collectors snarfling them all up. |
