Unreal.
I saw a couple of pallets of toys and I did see boxes labeled as Joe. Closer examination showed 3 cases of Hiss Tanks! Zero figures!

Woah...well, you'd have a point if those sidecap displays were the only place the stores had to display Joes, but they were "single-use/one-and-done" displays, meant to be used for a short window of time (Walmart's sidecaps are plan-o-grammed too, I'm pretty sure, and only occupy that space until it's some other display's time to take that spot), and that's it. The actually cases of Retro figures weren't supposed to be displayed until the POG was reset to include them in the aisle on their own pegs.
Basically, in my situation, that rep was saying she can't put something on the salesfloor if it doesn't have a plan-o-grammed "home". She hadn't noticed or realized the store set the aisle to the new POG until I pointed out the pegs to her. After that, she was free to get them out of the back. Even if that store had had an empty Joe sidecap hanging there, I doubt she would've been able to put those wave 2 figures in it because that wasn't their allocated place. I'm sure a Walmart employee could've, but these reps are purely task-based and follow the instructions they're given. Her instructions probably say something like, "Stock GI Joe Retro Asst (numbers) according to POG (numbers)." So, yes, if the sidecap display disappears before there are tags on any shelf, the stuff stays in the back. I don't know how often Reps are in stores, but it seems to me the main responsibility for keeping the floor full is on the employees. Especially the employee that set the POG. Quote:

I saw the Classified end cap once and only once as it disappeared literally by the very next day. Now I only see a random Classified figure here and there; Gung ho a few times, a Destro and a Roadblock that has been on peg for weeks at a local Walmart.
Hopefully in 2021 we see a greater presence of Classified on pegs as kids don't stand a chance at buying these with collectors snarfling them all up. And collectors aren't buying them all up. Collectors buy one, maybe two and several of the army builders. For example, I've left behind as many CI BH as I've bought. Scalpers and dealers buy EVERYTHING at EVERY store they go to.

Nothing really peg warming here but I have one store that has steadily got stock. I just left behind 2x Awe Strikers 4x Snake Eyes and 3x Storm Shadows along with a few classified figures. Oddly enough this same store has had shit for MOTU or Marvel legends.

Yeah there is a WM near me with with 9 HIss tanks sitting there. I grabbed one. If I didn't have to spend a lot of money this week on more important things I might have bought more. I need 4 more to have my goal of 12. Really only want the drivers but the tanks are cool

I’ve seen about 20 hiss tanks across 3 Walmarts. Nothing else.

What is the story on the variant for Snake Eyes? Someone posted about it on facebook and they started putting the commando head instead of the visor. This true or just a joke?
