So NOTHING stays stocked in my Walmart long. I see HISS Tanks and AWE Strikers come in and then sell out within a week to a month. I've only seen one Retro figure on the shelves and it was when the line first dropped and was a beat up Snake Eyes. The only way I've gotten my figures is through my preorders and I've been blessed that only my Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes (Which I got lucky and saw one pop up on the Walmart app later) were cancelled.
It appears to be doing well. Smaller distribution size, for a smaller audience maybe? I think the line would do ok if they just sold it through Hasbro Pulse for collectors. Granted I've only seen 2 Classified Joes in the wild and they were both Cobra Commanders. One at a Walmart and one at a Walgreens. I'm not collecting 6 inch Joes, but it appears to be as sparse as the Retro line. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/nati...ymied/2467465/ maybe places like Ross will get tons of them once the bottleneck clears up?

I'm not saying the Supply Chain hasn't been all sorts of crazy (I understand all that) it's just that what does arrive is selling. Now would it sell much more beyond what we have seen arrive? I'm not so sure...

Thankfully we're likely to get some reveals in a week's time, so we can shift from grouchily pontificating if the line is dead to grouchily pontificating about how we hate the new figures.

What do you guys want? Put out the best figure they can and make it cost like 30 bucks a pop? However, since they used the best plastic, best paints, awesome card art, thick card, good glue to the hold the bubble on, good plastic for the bubble, and best people doing it that they lose money because if they charged for the figure what they actually would need to make money because of what they used to make it they would not sell any because of the price and then the joe line would just be done. The retro line minus o face duke was not that bad collectors just want everything handed to them on a silver platter and some. And don't say you just want what you buy to be worth your money cause some of you would buy a turd if it had a joe decal slapped on it (Ala o face duke and the dollar store specials).
I guess I ended up getting these so I really shouldn't complain. I just wish I could see these with factory paint.

TOTALLY AGREED. I have only bought them so far for parts for customizing...these look fantastic.

Those custom/alt retro figures look amazing! How did we ever get to the point where the fans do it better? Our opinions are subjective but I'd love to hear some arguments defending the actual retro designs over these customs/alts displayed in the previous comments.

I've yet to see a single Retro figure "peg warm", not even Duke. Sure, in some areas the vehicles have sat, but I think that speaks more to Walmart distribution issues, and the fact that they're vehicles, not figure.
Meanwhile, those same 3 Classified Roadblock figures are still warming the pegs at my local Walmart since like July/August (9 months qualifies as a peg warmer, right?) I've seen the same Classified Gung-Hos sitting unsold at multiple gamestop locations for a long time also.
