Joes @ Walmart
Do they seem to be moving/selling to anyone else? I was @ WM again today & it doesn't appear like anyone is buying them or if they are, they're restocking them to keep the pegs full. If they are restocking, it's not with any of the newer releases either.
I realize the holiday season is still a ways away but unless it picks up, they don't appear to be moving all that well from what I've seen. |
My Wal-Mart began stocking ROC Joes waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy after TRU and Target, so I figure that everyone already bought what they wanted before WM even had their pegs stocked. The only thing I've seen fly off the shelves at WM are the new ROC 2-Packs. Everything else is collecting dust.

Pretty much stalled around me as well, especially at Wal-Mart. The ROC 2-packs were only there for maybe a day tops. Practically everything else is plentiful, except for Helix and Rex.
|
Pit Commando's aren't anywhere.
|
Yeah guys, looks like that's pretty much the consensus then.
I agree about the Pit commando's - are those the ones who are Destro's personal bodyguard? If so, I've really been impressed with those! |

I agree but still have not seen one in any store - not TRU, Target or Walmart. In fact, I have not seen any restocking of the Joes since the initial one in August @ any of these places. |
I work for Walmart and I have noticed at my store that we are getting cases about every other week or so. We still have not received any of the new figures either, but they are at least selling at my store. I'm at a smaller Supercenter so we don't always get the specials like the 2pks, etc. all the time. I think we will see the newer figures around Thanksgiving for the day after sale. We will probably start clearancing out all of the movie tie-in merchandise right after Christmas. If I see any of the new figures coming in, I will let everyone know. Hope this may help.

There are at least 10 different Walmarts I check in a month and each of them have waves 1-2 and sometimes I can catch wave 3. This is getting bad, I really was hoping that these would be running off the shelves like the Clone Wars. If they don't then we know that they will be on SALE. I suspect that in December we'll get a nice deal on Joes, if not then, they'll be on the shelves for a while and the REAL fans will'nt (NEW WORD +1 for me!) get the newer waves.

The single figures, and bravo vehicles sell in my area. The single figures though, replenish quickly at times, but you never see an empty peg much. Now the role play items, and alpha vehicles sit. The Night Raven sells sometimes, but not that much, and the PIT has sold surprisingly well.
The toys are overpriced, the bravo vehicles would be better off at $19.99, the alpha vehicles and Night Raven are overpriced too. Alpha vehicles should be $9.99, and I wouldn't have had much buyer's regret with the Raven had it been $25-30. The 12"er's sit as well, and honestly instead of making Fast Action Battlers and those, I think movie style Sigma 6 figures would have worked better. Quote:

Well I have to take it back about TRU, they received some new Joes - the Night Addler & the Cobra paratrooper.

I visited some small town Wal-Marts in Kentucky yesterday, and they still had 25th anniversary on clearance that hadn't moved. The Danville Wal-Mart had two full pegs of figures at $3 each (mostly Roadblock).
I don't know what Hasbro was thinking by shipping huge amounts of movie toys at inflated prices. Who is going to pay $30 for an SUV with missiles when Sharcs and VAMPs are collecting dust at $10 on clearance? |
I found one single Desert Viper @ Wal-Mart today before work. I was hoping to see more in a new shipment but all the rest were the old ones they've had there since August.
|
Seems to be some newer figures showing up in Canada now that the holidays are getting closer. Or maybe they have always been there, and I am just not keeping up. Either way, glad to see a few new ones on the shelf.

their on rollback at the local WMs for $5

CVS looks to be getting the newer Joes, unlike Wal-Mart.
