I went to TRU in Greensboro the other day, it had a Zartan (w/ color changing sticker) Buzzer, Firefly, Beachhead and Shipwreck.
Almost everywhere else I go is completely Joe-less though. =/ |

I talked with the Hasbro Rep in Wal-mart on Wendover in Greensboro (They had 3 pegs of wave 3 a few days ago) he said that was probably the last of it that store would have for the year.
I went back today and all the figures were gone I'm going to try the TRU in Greensboro today just to see but I expect I'll find nothing |

So I hit TRU and all the Targets today, TRU had 1 Shipwreck and at the Target on New Garden, I found a V2 Stormy hidden behind a sigma 6 8" figure, that was hidden behind a sigma 6 2.5' set :rolleyes:
Looking at the thread about Target's planogram, it looks like we won't see anything till the 30th :( Doesn't explain why Wal-mart has nothing though |

I hit up two Wal-Marts and one Target this morning. Target didn't even have shelf space for singles, one of the Wal-Marts had a single Stalker but there were no tags for the 25th line on the pegs. Looks like the tags were removed this week, because I know they were there last week. The other Wal-Mart had four empty pegs with tags. They had a pallet of toys/cases in the middle of the floor, no GI Joe on the pallet (I checked).
So I guess the real question is....What gives?? Are all the major retailers waiting on the after Christmas resets? Is it a distribution/wharehouse/production issue? What gives? Are we going to have to resort to EvilBay or over priced online retailers to get the latest waves? Will we even see wave 4 or 5? Frustrating.... |

I check all the Targets, K-Marts, Wal-Marts and the TRU in the Asheville/Hendersonville area like a madman every week. I even have friends and family members check the toy aisles & text me when they found something. Recently, Wave 4 was only in stock at Wal-Mart for about two days and have never been re-stocked. Wave 5 showed up at Wal-Mart for about 6 hours until it sold out and hasn't been re-stocked. The Comic Two Packs haven't showed up at all. Target, K-Mart and TRU hasn't gotten in any Wave 4 or Wave 5 stuff ever. This is very frustrating! It's especially tough to Joe-search because of the Christmas holidays. All stores should have a private V.I.P. section and parking area for collectors --- parents and kids wouldn't be allowed to interfere with our Joe collecting!

You know what they need.. actual brick and morter hasbrotoyshops..
You see enough of their boxes at any toy store.. they can practically open up their own toy store. |
