It was my first Cobra vehicle after the Stun (which my brother literally stepped on over and over until it broke because he was 2 and shouldn't have been near it!) so it always holds a special place in my heart.
I've been mulling buying the main cannon and a track Viper again on Ebay because my Tack Viper is missing his ass and I can't find the main cannon ANYWHERE in my garage.

So I finally bought the Pulse membership as well as the Hiss earlier today. Hopefully it turns out well.

What a surprise I had visiting one Walmart today. 03 Crocs in the shelf! Normally you can find only movie figures and LJ.

I just found out today that the two Classified Storm Shadows were also clearanced. The Walmart rep told me it's because the stores are finally getting months and months of trucks coming in plus their daily trucks. So all this product has to now be clearanced out to move. I saw a total of 18 trailers behind my local Walmart.

As someone that does hunt at stores, this stuff is nonexistent. But I guess I'm old school, see it, buy it, own it. Hasbro sees these massive retailers as some of their bigger customers. And these retailers report back that they can't keep this product in stock. People can't buy what they don't know about. Yeah, "collectors" like us make an effort to be aware of our favorite toys availability. Regular people buy by sight. Quote:

On its own, yes it's axiomatic. But I think where it could be construed as self-centered is implication that you (or any of us, not singling you out) know which characters those are. Outside of twenty-odd characters or so (most of which we've gotten or are on the way), I don't think there's much consensus.
And better than some others. That's always the case. Another thing to consider: I know that GI Joe is definitely a nostalgia brand that relies heavily on foreknowledge of the characters to drive sales, but I assume some percentage (perhaps a significant one) of buyers are new to GI Joe. Would it be safe to also assume that those buyers make their purchasing decisions based mainly on the strength of the figures themselves? I'll admit it's not likely Hasbro's bread and butter, but it can't be discounted out of hand either, I think. That's one of the things I like about Classified: it's like starting over. WE, the die-hard fans, know most or all the figures from their 3" incarnations, so we see the coolness of the 6" figures as a "wow, that's a great depiction of Spirit." Whereas other people see it as "wow, that figure looks sharp and fun."

The future of $20+ action figures is not likely to include plentiful quantities on the shelves of stores that prioritize keeping the potato chip aisle stocked. The post a little while ago showing Gung Ho already on clearance after being on the shelf for a week or so shows how much these food marts care about this product.

Not off base, but in this day and age?at stores this size?the decision to clearance is made by their ERP system, not by a discerning human. The system very well could have assumed the calculation to clearance based off an original planned arrival date, not the delayed actual date.
