Thanks for the info.

The three stores that had them here also had very limited quantities of the five packs and no single carded figs.

its crazy but Hasbro is testing the run here and there in the states, and whats more crazy is that Hasbro is right down the street from me, im in CONN, and Rhode island is right next to me, it should be here by now or new york.

Since the line isn't tied to a movie, there isn’t any rush to get them on the shelves. I have a feeling that some retailers may even put them off until it’s convenient for them to reset their toy aisles. I think Target is a prime example. Supposedly, they will be resetting in early august and that is when we will see the 25th figures.

Besides, the sales from anything G.I. Joe in the last 5 years has been mediocre at best and I doubt many retailers are willing to open the flood gates for them.

I believe many retailers will order a small quantity and test the market with them. It’s one of the reasons why I refused to purchase mine online. I love toy hunting and I think it’s important for me to support the line by buying them where I want them to be stocked. Even if that requires me to be patient and hunt these little bad boys down.

I like this guy already ;)


I couldn't agree more, Crazy. Unfortunately, sometimes, I feel as though we as a community are our own worst enemy when it comes to product selection at retail. When we all buy stuff online, we don't pick it up at retail (obviously). There's no need to continue rambling, as you already know where I'm going with this....but I just want to offer this example:

My local TRU has about 2 cases worth of DTC Cobra Trooper figures. Think that if there were no place to find them online that they'd still be on pegs?

The Joes are in the Chicago area. I scored 2 Cobra and 1 Joe 5 Pack from TRU and 2 full sets of the single cards from Kmart.

Great point.

Not to hijack the thread but have you seen this?

http://web.mac.com/rsdancey/iWeb/RSD...D43B868BB.html

It will take a while for it to develop but I can see this changing many different markets. Our beloved toys could be one of them.

If Hasbro could make it so all stores have to sell them for a minimum amount and can’t have bargain bin pricing….some online prices will lose their luster and it will increase sales in brick and mortar locations. I am willing to pay an extra buck or two if this ultimately increases our selection at our local retailers.

More sales for retailers = more reason to carry more stock = better selection for us plastic addicts. Which means I no longer have to plot the downfall of some six year old as I see him making his way to the check out counter with my Firefly figure in his grubby little hands. There should be another one on the pegs.

I found the singles a K-mart, but I have checked three wal-marts in the last two days and seen no sign of any Joes other than the Sigma Six stuff.
