Why it is taking sooo long for the new XD 21st figures to show up at TRU, WM or Evil bay

T-mans got it right about the West coast. I have not yet seen the dual packs. Heck, it is so bad that when I found restocks containing the DD camo SS figures early this year they were first I have ever seen!tmanthegreat wrote:And you guys think you have it bad?? At least you have the new DAK figures and the Platoon figs. They have not shown on my end, and probably will not for quite some time as the restocks of last year's D-Day figures are not selling. I'm tired of all the bellyaching from you easterners that get all the good stuff and then wait a month and complain that its not selling. Count your blessings that you have items on your shelves that are at least new from within the past few months.
Still, its not really any of your fault, just the distribution patterns of the stores...
Agreed digger, you don't want to upset your dealers. But in counterpoint, who has the DAK and dual packs available on-line? The only place I have seen the Nam figures is smalljoes. If you aren't sending certain items to your retailers are you really competing with them?digger wrote:What about retailers that buy huge quantities - wouldn't they be upset if 21C sold at MSRP themselves and basically shut them out? That is why few companies do this.
I went to TRU today and asked a guy when the new 21st Century figs would be in. He said they would be in on the next truck (maybe). He also mentioned that they don't keep stuff in the back when peg slots are open. In this case 12 out of 24 were free. So if they had any in the back they would have put them on the pegs. This was just my TRU experience. I thought I would share.I Talked to a guy stocking some GI JOES at wm and i asked him about the 21st toys and he told me that they have 2 boxs in the back but they can't stock them til the other stuff sells. all they have are platoon figures
and they are not selling. the same thing with target they won't put out new stuff till every peg is empty.
