I hit my local Wal Mart Friday night and there appeared to be 3 to 4 cases of Wave 4 sitting on shelves. Nothing new to me, but it is starting to look like that Hasbro and Walmart are starting to get more figures on the shelves.

Agreed, I just picked up the Fred/Scarface, tomax/Xamot, and Ace/Wild Weasel 2 packs, and there were a lot of wave 4 on the shelves.
First time ive seen this many Joes since I was a kid. |

First of all, not every store carries the same items, so while it's nice to see that in some areas the G.I.Joe figures are readily available, I can tell you from my own experience that not every Wal-Mart is carrying them. The only figure I've seen in the store was a very ugly looking Serpentor. The store I work at doesn't even have a single peg devoted to the Joes. Secondly, by now most stores have finished setting the "summer reset" modular, so I would take the news of a "expanded" G.I.Joe section with a grain of salt. The live action movie isn't scheduled to hit theaters until August of 2009 - it seems a little early for Wal-Mart to be pushing G.I.Joe related merchandise at this point. Also, most stores learned their lesson of devoting an entire asile to a brand of toys with Star Wars Episode I. I hope this news turns out to be true because I would love to see G.I.Joe figures in all Wal-Marts, not just a select few. |
