when wave 1 was out, I think it was around July, I got my wave 1 only last August.

so I'm guessing, for wave 2, it "might" be September, but something tells me it will be October when I see it in stores.

i dunno, just a gut feeling, after witnessing a dismal 1 week, or even heck a few days release of the wave 1. let's just hope that TRU and other stores will have wave 2 and a restock of wave 1.

Obviously these things are popular or Hasbro has just done a horrible job of getting this to the shelves. Either way, it is getting frustrating and Hasbro has to know that money is just out there to be made. Come on guys! I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY! Just freaking stock these dang shelves!!! ARRGHH!

Its not Hasbro's fault these are not getting to shelves. DESTRO pointed out on another forum that only the bigger walmarts are getting gijoe now, the smaller ones won't until xmas season is over. There is no room in the smaller walmarts due to space taken up by other lines. This line grew quick, remember it was originally was just a 10 figure line consisting of 2 battle packs. Transformers has a lot of space due to high demand, and because retailers underestimated how well it would due(it made more than two times more money than walmart thought it would make). Target is you're spot to go, of all the places I have gone to, they have things more often than TRU and walmart.

Its a combination of some retailers not ordering, and high popularity. Add those two factors together, and you have figures that are harder to get a hold of as usual.

*BTW folks, Target tends to support Hasbro a lot and usually gets the best Hasbro exclusives*.

A quick note to add to your point. The nearest walmart to my house doesn't carry the 25th. I go there about twice a week for other things, and I always check for the hell of it. They have 4 feet of Transformers and it's been completely empty for the last 6 weeks. I don't know what there doing but I know there not stocking there shelves.

God I hate that. I remember looking desperately for Transmetal Rattrap from Beast Wars and 2 weeks straight of empty shelves. TransMetal 2 Megatron was even worse.

Oddly enough I ran into a Hasbro rep in the toy aisle at Wal-mart today. I asked about Joes and he said the Wal-mart we were in had ordered 3 and they were sold out pretty fast. As for Transformers, he said that Hasbro knew they'd sell well but not this well! Apparently people started going crazy for them. He even told me one store manager (Who doesn't even collect Transformers) saw them and just had to have them (Apparently the guy bought a whole wave) So that would be why there's no product (Transformers or Joe wise) anywhere

Alright folks, the best thing I can advise, is to look on the shelves and see if there is a tag on the shelf or racks for the 25th anniversary figures. The prices should be $4.88 for singles, and $24.96 for the battle packs. If your walmart does not have these tags, it will probably not get the joes until january-febuary.

TRU and Target are your best bets at this point, Target is more consistent, I think they are getting more cases than TRU, or TRU simply ordered later.

As far as Transformers, it was pointed out that Walmart greatly underestimated potential sales for the Transformers toys, hence why they did not order enough. Actual sales were more than twice what they predicted.

In my area TRU sucks! I've seen 1 CC there from the 25th line. That's it! Wal-Mart I got lucky and found 4 of the single carded ones. I've seen the 5-packs at two different Targets, but sadly didn't have the cash to spare at the time. So now I'm back on the hunt and not having much luck. Hopefully with the holiday season upon us now, we'll start to see some better stocked shelves Joes and TF's.

Went to my TRU yesterday and they redid the the action figure aisles for the upcoming holiday season. The Star Wars aisle was made bigger, wrestling figure aisles bigger, and the militay figure aisles bigger, but now they no longer have tags for the Joe 25th stuff. Only had one case of singles and that was 2 months ago. 5-packs were restocked a few times, but now no tags for either. They did get new Sigma figures, "new" 21C figures, and "new" BBI figures.
