I'm seeing the same thing. Go to Target no new stock and lots of peg warmers, go to Walmart, lots of pegs, no stock.

But restocking has been pretty bad any way you slice it. typical Hasbro distrobution.

LOL, zedhatch. I was using the term Sausage fest as an example of the chances of finding new Joes at Target was like picking up a female at a Sausage Fest.

Agree with your Hasbro distribution comment, why can I buy POC HISS tanks on closeout at Ross, when you can't find them new at retail. I like the fact they are half the price, but it's a joke finding new product at a closeout place but never seeing it at the normal outlets.

My understanding of Sausage Fest, there's too many Bulls and very few cows at the party. Since we're flying under the radar. How does ATM relate to a Sausage Fest?

You think Joe is bad, try Marvel Universe, that is practically an internet exclusive line unless you are looking for Iron Man or Spider-Man.

Also Star Wars is effected too, Thier wave 5 in vintage hit stores in December and Wave 4 is just now hitting.

Only things that don't seem to have overwhelming issues is the first waves of movie lines. Of course that is all retailers fault /sarcasim

One case! I actually got to a TRU when they were stocking and only one case had come in there. How can anyone find figures if their only getting one case per store? No wonder I can't find any Shock Troopers anywhere.

I think that's it. Just one case per store. That is what my Target got for Thor movie figures, one case!

For a lot of the same issues everyone else is talking about. The one case per store thing, what's up with that? So some store out in BF no where gets the same amount as the stores in more populated areas? And what about regional differences, I'm sure the stores in Florida are busting at the seems with Arctic Destros and Ice Cutters. And some kid or collector is pissed in Fargo, because they are sold out. The whole system is messed up. __________________ Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!.

Trust me,..... Destro is warming and has been warming pegs in colder climates alllllll winter long.

I was so excited the other day when I saw a new Destro with cash on the pegs. He was the only one and no other figs. All Destro all the time.

Hey Hasbro take a walk in your stores you distribute in and see what doesn't sell
