TRU now has an "X" in the system which means that the manufacturer no longer produces the item. What this means is no more Wave 4. I'm sure you guys in Pa. get your trucks from New Jersey, the DC is completely out of Joes which no more remaining stock to ship out. This is also the reason why Walgreens got rid of Joes as they can't order anymore either as they are no longer in Hasbo's inventory to order. Sad day I guess you can say..

That's why I've always been a strong supporter of the FSS line. There was always the risk the day would come when Joe would be gone from retail entirely. Over-priced and sometimes imperfect Joes are better than none at all.

Obviously they'll be back in stores for the movie 3 line. I'd be afraid though that Paramount will fall in love with the early year release date since it worked for part 2, which is murder to marketing the toy line. As we saw, that timing means the DVD comes out in summer and stores dump the line well before Christmas, which probably cut the line's potential annual sales in half.

I would hope Hasbro would at least cook up a TRU exclusive Joe line in the vein of the Dollar General line, with appealing repaints and kitbashes. I'm sure TRU would be happy to call G.I. Joe their exclusive line for a while.

The 2 cases of wave 4 King of Prussia got have sold quickly. Only 2 Roadblocks, 2 Fireflies, 1 Colton and 1 SS are left on the pegs.

Definitely right on that JediJones.. What Hasbro needs to do is have 3 waves and release them one every 3 weeks and keep sending out the stock till it's gone if their going for the early release date. Make sure all figures get out because once everyone goes to see the movie interest in toys for kids dies out in the 2nd-3rd month.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I found Dollar General Joe's at Ollie's discount store in Lewisburg Pa.
There was wave 1 and the recolor and I believe they were $3.99 each.

I'm thinking that Rite Aid is discontinuing carrying GI Joe stuff. Of the 3 I visited last night, one had ultimate roadblock and no price tag on it's hook, the next no Joes where there had been 4 and only power rangers in their spots, and another blank hook where they used to be in the final. Looks like even crappy hunting grounds are drying up.

mine had a brand new peg for joe figures, but nothing on it after the reset. before that they had one Helix and an old worn out peg tag. so I am not sure about mine. new peg, no merch

I was told to check back in 2 weeks by a very helpful guy working at the Rite Aid I first went to, but missing tags in multiple stores, plus none in one and power rangers where they were seemed pretty damning.

Ok so I was bored so I hit DGs and Tuesday Mornings

Tuesday Morning store, several flint/snake eyes/firefly for $5 and 1 retaliation ultimate snake eyes for 5 also(doors anyone need him?). I pickled up a Firefly.

New Kre-Os hit TRUs in the SE PA area. King of Prussia got 4 Firebat sets, 6 Outposts and 3 cases of wave 3 figures (only the vehicles and 2 incomplete sets of figures minus the army builders remain as of this afternoon). Computer lookups also show Montgomeryville, Willow Grove, Oxford Valley and Cottman Ave. may also have received some or all of this stuff.

rite aid in indiana still has joe pegs, there is one lonely kwinn hanging there. blairsville rite aid has a retaliation ultimate storm shadow and two POC blueshirts
