I remember about a year or two ago, Walmart was packed with The Corps! figures and playsets/vehicles, and at the time I had no interest in them, but now that I am interested in buying them, I realize that I haven't noticed them on the toy shelves in a while. So, are they still hanging around in any stores, or is the line basically dead?

CORPS! will always be on the shelves at Wal-Mart. Wally world has part ownership, or something along those lines, in Lanard.

The Corps! has a huge presence in the Walmarts here in Upstate SC. Like, as big a presence as Star Wars.

Hmm, I must have just not been looking, or maybe my nearest Walmart hasn't stocked them recently...the action figure aisle is almost always abysmally understocked there. Although, I do think they have an aisle with knock-offs and cheaper toys that I don't tend to go down, so maybe they just changed their location. Thanks for the replies!
EDIT: Also, I haven't lost interest in G.I. Joes, I've just come to enjoy collecting a broader variety of toylines. Last edited by Facemeat; 02-01-2012 at 08:41 PM.. |

Yeah, they even sell single figures now for under $2. By the looks of them they've kind of made them more ''stylised'' in that they look a bit more cartoonish (and are actually, in my view, stronger for it.) Or maybe they always looked that way but I'd never noticed.
