For Christmas my walmart has sold out of 3 3/4th Joe Roc Figures. There are some of the odd kiddie toys left two 12 inch figs, 1 or 2 night ravens, and some ninja battle sets but that is it.
Targets stock is cut in half and K mart was down to 7 3 3/4 figs as well.

MU DC product Starwars and Transformers did not fare as well. Hows things looking in your neck of the woods?

visitng with fiancee's parents in west palm beach, fl...a lot of ROC toys still on shelves at TRU, at least one of the WalMart's i went to had sold through fairly well.

the weird thing is, none of the stores seemed to even carry the battle pack sets, like the 5 & 6 figure sets. i was hoping to get the one w/ the ewok glider but no luck.

ROC sold really well where I work as well as the smaller and larger vehicles. The Night-Raven didn't sell as well. The Joe exclusives did really well, but the 2 lonely PITTS are still warming shelves. SW sold pretty well, and MU singles sold pretty well. The Deluxe packs with Giant-man and Super-Skrull warmed the shelves. The DCIH figures did well, except for the 6-pack which I attribute to the high price. Surprisingly the new smaller MMPR figures sold really well.

ROC is sold out at my local Target, but then again a friend of mine who works there told me they havent reordered any of the single figures since october. just the Exclusives, young kid toys, and vehicles.

the surrounding area however, hasnt had in any new waves. but are pretty stocked.

TRUS however, have been doing well, selling out, yet restocking.

Pretty sure our area Targets also haven't ordered any new product save exclusives since October. All three still have the same Destro, Breaker, Covergirl, Stormshadow, Heavy Duty and Baroness figures warming pegs in multiples. Sometimes the odd Deep Six or Shipwreck thrown in, but not so much this week. Tons of Serpent Armor, though.

K-Mart was sold out of everything except the exclusive four pack.

All the area Wal-Marts were stripped of product, I assume by shoppers. All I found there were some Rockslides, Night Ravens and a Pit.

And the TRUs were down to a smattering of exclusive Bench Press and Snow Serpent figures plus the Destro/Neo/Elite Viper three-packs.

I think every store was running a special this week on single carded figures.

Pretty much all my area stores have 1/2 less figures. All the new figures usually sold first. Star Wars didn't look like it did that well. I always see the same figures.

Well, I just got back from Walmart, and here's the situation from there.

G.I.Joe was NOT sold out, but it had clearly done well. There were perhaps a third to a half of the individual figures that I saw there earlier this week. Part of me wonders how much of this can be attributed to the fact that, at $5.00 apiece, they were the least expensive figures around.

Vehicles also did well. I snagged the last Cobra Gunship today on a gift card, and that was only because I'd hidden the thing a couple of days ago (and it was still there!). And it was the absolute last vehicle in that size/price range in the store. There were a few small vehicles and the Walmart playsets left, but not many, and that's fine with me. There's any number of new vehicles upcoming that I am interested in, and now there's space for them, and as such a likelihood that they'll be stocked.

In my opinion, the scarce vehicles are likely to be the Dragonfly and the Crimson Hydra. I barely saw either of them leading up to Christmas (thanks for the Crimson Hydra, dzirhan!), and since they were part of the Rise of Cobra line, not the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra, I question if they'll be carried over.

In other lines:

Star Wars seems to have fared decently, mostly new figures. The supply was considerably dwindled from earlier this week, and I didn't see very many vehicles today.

Transformers does NOT look to have fared all that well. There were still plenty to be had. Finally found the end cap where they hid all the Masterpiece Skywarps, but they haven't dropped the price here yet.

DC seems to have fared reasonably well, but the Walmart near me doesn't allocate it that much space to begin with. Marvel doesn't look to have done that well, as there were still plenty around, including the Goliath set, and even some Marvel Legends that showed up just before Christmas.

Power Rangers did reasonably, although I'm starting to feel sorry for that Green Ninja Storm Ranger "chase" figure that's been hanging around for over a month. I've got one of my own already. What I'd really like to see is the Titanium Ranger.

The shocker to me this morning was the almost complete absence of WWE product. I think I saw one single carded figure and one two-pack. Now, I know that Mattel has been making a great deal out of their new WWE figures coming out on January 1, 2010. But I more or less figured they'd have to share space with whatever was left of Jakks' product. But there was hardly any. I find it difficult to believe that it ALL sold. Makes me wonder what's happening in that area "behind the scenes"...
