I was at a local TRU today and a stock manager told me that they were scaling down on their GIJoe orders as they were "going to stop carrying GIJoe" (Her words). She couldn't tell me much more than that. Am I out of the loop here, is this old news, maybe she meant Sigma 6? I can't imagine TRU would stop all their Joe exclusives as well... Anybody?

sounds like something Toyr aren't us would do
when you have a hot selling toy why order it to increase sales? I wonder if the CEO and Hasbro.. and TRU are brothers |

My local TRU must have been scaling down for the last year then cause it's hard to even find anything G.I. Joe there. They have plenty of the non-Joe military stuff but no official stuff and if they di then it's Sigma-6.

She doesn't know what GI Joes you're talking about.

I sincerely doubt it. Joe sales have been VERY good at my TRU's.

Either that or the store manager has to decided to focus all of its attention to dice-based games.

I call utter and total Bull$hite on that one! Wait for confirmation before believing what any store employee tells you.

it's entirely plausible that stores will selectively scale back on a product. it's happening at targets, why could this not happen with tru? sure it doesn't make sense but tell that to the germantown target... they have not had anything new since wave 4 and no plans to get any more. all i can say is i understand your frustration and better luck elsewhere.

Maybe she didn't want to deal with a rabid toy collector while she does her minimum wage dead-end job.
