>and I never see Joes at normal stores like Walmart or Target.
.... you realize that's a really bad thing, right? And if places like BBTS are putting their GI Joes on sale (for indie stores, this is basically a clearance) and having a ton of stock left over from previous years, it's a sign of poor sales.

Also, Targets universally were the same from store to store (unlike Walmart). So if one store carried a product, every single store would (to the best of their distribution). Maybe something changed since COVID. I haven't gone to a Target in months now, but that was only the store i would always see Classified in. So if some Targets are no longer carrying the GI Joe line, that's even worse than the Classified line was a year ago.

At this point, this is probably the third worst the GI Joe line has sold. Sigma 6 and GI Joe Extreme were better off, because those two lines had full blown retail support that would rival major movie line support from today.
And the last GI Joe movie didn't get major movie line support.
