Went to a Walmart yesterday that had 14 Hisstanks, but not a single Joe, Star Wars, or even Marvel figure. It was odd. Even more strange considering I bought hisstanks from a different location months ago for $17 clearance. So one location clearances them out while another location is getting a bunch in?

I'm hoping for an AWE variant with a Crankcase closer to how he looks on the back of the box. And it's the better oversupply vehicle. Without the stickers and overhead frame it's a fairly ordinary offroad vehicle to use with other 1:18 lines.
The HISS tank depends more on how many HISS tanks you want. There's really no dressing it down for a weekend fishing trip. Unless it's Old Snake which i am *checks eBay* not going to pay that much for. |

So I'm guessing that either Pulse did not have very many Hiss Tanks or a lot of people decided to order them from Pulse because they are sold out now.

Other than the one time my son found Duke and Snake Eyes lying in a pile of other toys at Walmart, I have only ever seen HISS Tanks in stock. I've purchased five total–three for myself just because. I can't find GI JOE anything anywhere else so I might as well get what's available.
I still have CC, Duke and LJ pre-ordered from Walmart and they all show as delayed. You know, like every other pre-order I have ever placed. How many years do we have to do this before the pre-orders start arriving? Or do pre-orders only exist so that they can later be canceled? Toy collecting is fun in the 21st century. |

This is almost certainly the most probably culprit explaining why we're seeing confusing distribution. Is there a ship waiting in a port overflowing with Cobra Troopers and Retro Fangs? Who knows - but it's almost certainly had an impact on Hasbro's ability to meet demand. The HISS Tanks on Pulse were available for a bout 3 days before selling out, so folks did have a reasonable chance to get them.
