Pretty cool, I see some nice bare arms for customs. Some of the repaints are lame, like Blowtorch. How many times are they going to give us Blowtorch?!

Did anyone read that interview that Derryl DePriest did about the continued JOE line? I thought it was very informative about what we are gonna see in the future for JOE as well as other Hasbro AF Lines.

He did talk the line up pretty well.

Got a distribution hiccup to report.
Last week, toysrus.com put the whole line up for sale/preorder and pretty much sold out in 30 min of all but the lowliest peg warmers which were gone by the next day.

From what I can tell, the 4 stores within driving range of me have not gotten any new joe product shipments since the online sellout.
They had been getting a case or two per truck per store twice a week up to that point.
4 stores, 8 trucks, no joe shipments.

Seems to me that the inventory for the stores was plundered for the online side.

How about something for the brick and mortar joe shoppers, TRU?

My local stores have a decent supply of the new releases. I saw them at 2 different TRUS and each one had at least 2 cases of each item.

May just be a Midwest thing, Dan.
Really only looking for the two hot items right now.
Rock rampage and the gung ho pack.
They will come around and hang around, I'm sure. That is the good thing about tru exclusives. They tend to have some staying power on the shelves.
