Same here. The cards REALLY are amazing. Makes you wonder why they cheaped out Funskool-style on the new retro joes.

Because 3 3/4" GI JOE collectors are the poop under Hasbro's shoe.

It is because we are annoying as hell. Im sure stores have complaints about us. All we do is want want want and when they give we are like wtf this figure sucks.

Evening all, apologies if this was already discussed. I haven't been as active on these boards lately.
There is a new Walturd exclusive TVC set allegedly based on Mando. It's probably wise to order it now before it sells out. You can cancel the order once it's revealed if you're not interested. Ships mid December. https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2...almart-online/ Update: Apparently its Mando and the Child and Pram. The assumption is it's Beskar Mando but not sure. Update 2: The link is no longer active. I guess Walmart realized they goofed.

You don't understand the logic because your parameters are wrong. Folks are likely wrong in assuming Hasbro Pulse is a prime mover of product. Hasbro wants to make money by selling as much product as possible and that means supplying the biggest consumers first, which is Walmart and Target. Hasbro Pulse is more on par with BBTS in size and scope. They serve a niche customer base, thus their orders get filled after the major players are taken care of. I'm curious who will fill preorders first Pulse or BBTS?

I wouldn't call it a surplus outlet unless there was a history of Pulse canceling preorders for widely released figures due to lack of inventory. I'd say it's more analagous to MattyCollector, collector focused and designed to deliver SKU's that would not be viable in big box retail. The collector focus and online only availability limits the sales volume to probably to less than 25% than that of Walmart and Target. I'm curious what mechanism is in play that allows Pulse to sell out of preorders while stores like BBTS still have preorders open.

Hasbro stated in early Q&As that Hasbro Toy Shop was specifically set up to not be a competitor to their larger buyers so as to not step on any toes. I would imagine the same holds true for Pulse now. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that BBTS and EE even get preference over Pulse.
The only reason Pulse get exclusives is because everyone else passed on them first.

So, those new Walmart displays, from what I saw, look to have 4 of each TVC figure, Mandalorian, death trooper, cara, and remnant StormTrooper.
The black series were not as evenly distributed though. I think I counted 5 Clone Troopers, 5 Mandalorian super commandos, 4 Ahsako Tanos, and only 2 Mandalorian Loyalists. Not sure if it will be the same at every location.

Mando Monday just revealed a TVC Moff Gideon and Armorer, but the real start is the Beskar Mando with removable helmet and pack-in Child.
