Title: Tumble Weeds are blowing by.
Post by: akpayne on February 13, 2005, 08:24:01 AM
Here we are, the middle of February, and I have not seen a single joe pack on the shelves at either ToysRus or WalMart since before Christmas.
I only found part of Wave 4 on that day anyway, it was like the ToysRus I was in only had 1 case to put on the shelves.
I also can't find any of the new Transformers Alternators.

I know this isn't much of a sightings post, but I thought after a dry spell of nobody posting, it would be nice to see that I am not the only one, or maybe it is just me, and I am not looking in the right places.

I see both Joe product and TF product at WalMart and TRU every time I'm out.

Granted, it's nothing newer than Waves 2-4 (joes), but I see it nonetheless

Nothing in my area. My local TRU doesn't even have a Joe section anymore.  I hope this isn't the writing on the wall.

I think I've seen the pee yellow viper with whatever that vehicle he comes with in my Walmart and that is about it. I have seen Walmart restock with new Corp vehicles and figures which doesn't make me happy.
Title: Alternators

I hope some new Alternators show up soon.  I already got what I wanted from VvV wave 5 & 6 from Realboss but some Joe vehicles would be nice.  I wouldn't mind a Night Adder.

Mike - how long would it take to get them? (i.e. how long is the order-receive cycle?)

Well,
let's do a 'role call' of sorts to find out who is still interested in complete sets.
:-)

If enough are interested, I'll get more cases of Wave 7 in.
As for future waves, Assuming all goes well from now on, I should have them about a week after the U.S. does.

I don't need a complete set. I just need one more Gung Ho / Viper set but I'm sure I'm not the only one.  :shifty:

Well, I do dig the Viper, Bombstrike, and Croc Master...I guess I'll eventually like the others when I get one set.

Yeah, I'm interested in the Bombstrike, Viper, and Snake-Eyes packs...

Sets.

I'm not buying more to split them up and have the viper sell out. :-)

I'm willing to split a Gung-Ho/Viper pack with someone for the Gung-Ho. I don't need more stinkin Vipers. :)

I also want the Bombstrike and Snake Eyes packs.

What does the case distribution look like? Probably skewed towards more Duke and CC packs...

I'll take you up on that offer if it becomes an option. I'm looking for 1 more Viper.

It's an even case break down of two 2-packs of each.
(Case of 12)

Aha. Hence sales of "sets."

Edit: Waitaminute. I thought there were only 5 packs.

Yeah but with the case you also get a set of Slice and Slash. Why couldn't Hasbro have thrown in another army builder set instead of guys that already came out? As we say here at work, "I know why! Because you suck." directed towards Hasbro.

I'm not interested in the Viper pack, but I do want a bombstrike and a Snake Eyes. Not sure that I can get the authorization to pay $70 - $100 for a set though, so I guess I'll go without.

i know why the toys r us up here in ontario don't have the new VvV packs yet. my connection at tru told me they won't be getting any joe figures until may. but walmart at squareone had some of the wave 3 packs that all.
