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.

Exactly the same here. Hopefully parents buy up the ones there for the holiday season, otherwise, they are not moving at all.

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.

Optimus Scourge 09-16-2009 04:15 PM

Pit Commando's aren't anywhere.

BlackRazor 09-17-2009 07:01 AM

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!

The Pit Commandos are the generic army builders for Joes. They come with a whole lot of great accessories and have been pretty popular. I personally really like them. I still see a few of them every time I go to TRU.

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.

Madnehyra 10-06-2009 02:32 PM

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.

Johnnyakiba 10-06-2009 05:49 PM

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.

Shin Densetsu 10-06-2009 05:55 PM

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.

You're in luck though, Walmarts are starting to received cardboard displays(up to 4 from what I've seen), that have 1 set of wave 3 each.

BlackRazor 10-07-2009 11:20 AM

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

DrewBlank 10-08-2009 03:06 AM

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?

BlackRazor 11-18-2009 07:18 AM

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.

Evantainment 11-19-2009 10:49 PM

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.

deceptifocus 11-20-2009 03:41 AM

their on rollback at the local WMs for $5

Yeah I saw that today too, trying to get rid of ones they've had up there since August.

BlackRazor 12-04-2009 02:11 PM

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

Yeah. I've seen the newest waves of Joes at CVS and Walgreens. City Strike SE, Charbroil, Night Adder, Desert Viper. All of them spotted with my own eyes. But at almost $10 each I didn't even think about picking them up there.

Keep checking those Wal-Marts. I've found all the newest waves there. And they have the best prices on them now.

TheSymbiote 12-05-2009 12:04 AM
