The only thing GIJoe in my local Walmarts are those tiny diecast packs. Tons and tons and tons of them. Both local Walmarts have six rows full of them. They seemingly never sell - and yet they still have not been discounted.
Is there some reason for this? Is Walmart locked into a contract and not allowed to close them out or reduce the retail price? I can't figure it out and was wondering if anyone had any insight. |

Same boat here in Upstate NY. There's no retros at any Walmart. No Classifieds at Target. Just the minis at WM and the little Domez at Gamestop. It helps me save money to keep expanding my recently revived Sideshow Collection, but it's a bit of a bummer not seeing Joe almost anywhere when there's definitely product on the market.

I bought the vehicle pack to hide in Easter eggs, and my son got the HISS and the Vamp. I’m not getting them for me, since it’s a dead-end line. But, the vehicles are pretty cool. Too bad they won’t continue with more.
There’s supposed to be a another wave of diecast TFs, but I guess they forgot. |

I was fortunate enough to grab a pack from a wal-mart clearance isle for $2.50. WM's product dispersion has been really really whack lately. My local store hasn't gotten any updated toys since August of Last Year.
Having said that... if you guys like painting miniatures, those figures actually have way, way more detail cast into them than the super thick enamel would suggest. (drop 'em in fingernail polish remover overnight). I've got CC up over on the customs page and when I get some more time from work would like to do Storm Shadow next.. TLDR: Would recommend for This Express, Specific Purpose and nothing else. |
