I was in the stores 2 days before and 2 days after Christmas. While there were plenty of toys, Joes were not to be found in Walmart or TRU aside from a few wave 1 fangboats at Walmart and Wave 1 Roadblocks at TRU. What did you guys see? Did later waves even come? |

Wave 3.5 is hitting MD but only in Rite-aid as far as I know. |

My observations _ - No Joes and no one buying them. Target had one peg and they ended up on clearance. - Little freakin rubber cutsie joe squinkie packages are clogging up every peg - I don't think that any have sold in the last 6 months. - Boxing day is dead, long live black friday. - Don't bother buying anything from a movie line at target for full price. IT seems every toy line tied to a movie is overbought and undersold this year. Wolverene figures and roleplay were on clearance before the movie was even in the theater. - I just realized this season that Captain America is the Human Torch. If they get him to play Namor... - R |

TRU had Snake Eyes and Eagle Hawks. Target had nothing, and "5% off" sales on a couple of figures (that's F-I-V-E. Not 50%, not 15%). I didn't even bother checking Wal-Mart. One of my best Christmas-time scores was wave 3B Crimson Guard and Cobra Combat Ninja from Rite-Aid at 50% off. A sad retail presence, to be sure. Not just for G.I.Joe, but MU, Thor, Ironman, etc. |

I found new marvel legends, the m.u. Abomination wave, and cpt. America 2 figures at tru today. But I want joes dammit! Kept looking around, found black retaliation commanders at wal greens on clearance, and found a green shipwreck at dg. I'm sad. |
