I have been into three different Target stores in the Phoenix / West Valley area and each one of them have all but cleared out the area where the GI Joe's and other type action figures are for what appears to be a little restructuring. I looked at the empty pegs and noticed that GI JOE had anywhere from 10 to 15 pegs set up. It looks like maybe Target knows something we dont and maybe they are getting ready for a very big influx of GI JOE figures, maybe the Movie figures are on their way out to the pegs also. I remember that the Dark Knight and Spiderman 3 figures started on the shelves about a year before those movies released. I can wait to see what is going to happen.

Yes, it's not for GI Joe.
It's for the Clone Wars movie. I saw the signage at my target laying on the rack next to the big open spot.

The target near me also has a big area opened up. But it's definately for GI Joe stuff since they have shelf tags for them (but nothing on the racks). The same store also has another, even bigger area ready for Clone Wars stuff.

I dont think so, all the empty pegs I saw said GI JOE Action Figures on them and the week before, they only had three dedicated pegs.

My Target did the same thing. But they did have more pegs with gi joe stickers on them for the singles and comic packs as well as space below them that i assume will be for the dvd packs etc.

Target near me had a BIG open spot just after the Joe section...the Joe section was still small, and in the place of single figures were a "new" TARGET EXCLUSIVE military line (forgot the name) that were 5.99(?)...cashing in on the popularity of JOE....

I think we deserve a whole end-cap. When I bought the first wave vehicles they were on an end-cap up by the registers.

I saw a large area cleared out this morning at my local Target, but I'm assuming it was for Clone Wars toys as they had a few pegs with Joe stuff.

Target can shove it.
On the evening of July 17th, I contacted that store in search of a specific GiJoe item. The associate that i spoke with said they had them and would leave them in electronics for me. Today, July 18th, I drove the 30 miles ONE WAY to get them. I arrived at the store and went to the electronics dept. The lady at the counter opened them up and said that these items werent for sale yet. I was promised over the phone that i would be able to purchase them today. There was NO date restriction on the item. I know this for a fact because a friend of mine picked up one only an hour from me. When the item was scanned at the counter, there was no purchase restriction on it. I drove 30 miles after i was told i could get the item. Then i get told that they refused to sell it to me. I find this unacceptable customer service and demand to be compensated. I have been shopping for years at Target and after this experience, it very may well be my last. I have already told my friends and family of this experience and im sure that they will tell others as well. How dare you deny a purchase!!! My friend in Georgia purchased one at a Target there and my other friend got one in Daytona Beach, FL area. I drove a total of 60 miles because i was promised an item and now i have nothing to show for it except a half a tank of gas lost. Unless this is resolved, you will definitely have lost a customer.
