The Joe Series 1 and 2 sets sold once we put them out. I kept restocking, and found some Ninja Force on Sunday, so I put them out.

The Transformers exclusive sold well, despite our thinking it would not make it to the show, and I sold a lot of TF Series 3, as well. 

Hopefully, being at Walmart is a good sign. We talked to Hasbro about Pulse at the show, so maybe that is still a possibility.

We'll see. Series 1 is far from sold out, but if we can sell a bunch to Pulse, maybe. 

Really hoping they get put up on Pulse and mentioned/shown in on of their line panels/videos or whatever they call them. I think there are plenty of sales out there if the right people see them. 
 

How did the D&D sets do on Pulse? That might give a little indication of what to expect from Joe.

We had very few DnD Heroes sets left to sell them, but they sold out of what we gave them. I think 50+. Villains we had more and they sold more. Under 100, though. 

I think Joe will be a different beast. More competition, from ReAction and Super 7, but bigger fan base than 80s DnD.

Not a knock on Luke.  I get the bulk of my toys from a mom & pop vendor that uses EE as their distributor.  Some things are just slow.  And sometimes I get figures before BBTS and Amazon ship.  And occasionally they just get cancelled.  Not ready to give up just yet, but anytime Minimates fall through I do go to Luke.

No worries here - I am a big fan of mom & pop vendors and comic shops carrying Minimates as it's good for the brand. 😊

You ARE literally mom & pop, though! 😄

i love all the characters you selected but a couple things:

i hope (if we do get these characters someday) that they start mixing up joe's and cobras.  i hate getting a bunch of good guys only to hope they have enough bad guys to fight

and a tiger force set

:D

i went ahead and bought another series 1 to make a custom duke and roadblock until some real ones get made.
