Who is going to pick up the 50th line if the big retailers are pulling away from the joe line now? Walmart the biggest carrier is not stocking and neither is target. TRU sightings are scares around the country. I know it may be too soon to hit the panic button but its the Christmas season already and sept. is usually the best time for stock availability. Instead its very weak. I honestly don't think that there is going to be a strong toyfair appearance for gijoe in February. I hope i'm seriously wrong about this but my gut tells me otherwise.

There's no real product for them to stock. One or two waves at the end of a luke-warm movie rollout? Hasbro needs to pitch the 50th Anniversary line (if there is one) first. Then the stores need to wait till the next reset to make room for them.
There's no product to give space to. So there's no space given. In other news: The sky isn't falling. |

There's no product to give space to. So there's no space given. In other news: The sky isn't falling. Well said. At SDCC, there was just very topical discussion based on the 50th Anniversary. Will there be something offered? yes. What will that offering be? no word yet. The soonest we'll probably see something is at Toy Fair and I'm sure at that time we'll see if it's exclusive to one outlet or not. |

As already mentioned, we still don't know what's coming out for the 50th Anniversary of the G.I. Joe brand. We'll see what's planned at ToyFair 2014, and I'm sure 12" action doll figures will be part of it. Whatever is planned, we won't see product until the yearly July/Aug toy resets. That's even if retailers pick up G.I. Joe to sell.

If Hasbro manages to get out another 30 figures or so, primarily the concept case stuff (minus the awful ninjas and zombies)... I'll be pretty well happy. But I have zero expectations at this point. I give 50/50 odds that this incarnation of the line is dead.
Either way, I think the earliest we will actually see any product in stores would be late next year. Sucks to be us. |

i find the best availability for toys and other hard to find items is the last two weeks BEFORE xmas.
Warehouses scrambling to get everything out and on the shelves Some of my best scores were done at those times |

I think we need to change the name of this site from HissTank to ParanoidSpeculationTank.
