I noticed this too, my local Wal-Mart does not have pegs for 25th Joes anymore....

I have already voted, but I thought I would post again.
So I have found squat when it comes to the last two waves of joe figures.
I haven't seen any of them on the shelves, in fact the Wal-Mart that I go to and the Zellers don't even have peg holders for Joes anymore!
I love buying local!  I love finding the figures at retail in Canada, however with nothing to buy in stores it makes it difficult.  Especially with Gas prices high, I am not about to drive around Southern Ontario like I might have done a couple of years ago in the  "hunt" for figures.
That being said, if I can't find what I am looking for locally in the next week or two.  I will be placing an order online.
I will also be buying extra figures for my son - my grand total will be $175 plus shipping and whatever tax gets added on at the boarder.
If I could find the figures locally I would spend more, pick up some army builders for myself and my son.
Frustration does not = a happy toy collector.

Why wasn't BTR successful?

maybe because it was lego and G.I. Joe disguised as a nightmarish MASK wannabe?  I know some liked BTR but it has a very specific niche.  Looks like we like G.I. Joe Resolute more than building blocks.
