cylonchaney Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Take note Zaxh, We seem to be building an army here of army builder fans who would like to build an army of army builders.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chooch Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yep, the carded set in the green outer box. Maybe it was a weird return. It was on its side and behind something else so Duke was poking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We sell to a company that stocks collector toys in Walmart, they've done exclusive VHS figures in the past, so maybe they bought some. It's entirely possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 i don't care if they're at gas stations! just get them out there so more can be made!! noticed the ones put out at sdcc seem to have sold. we walked by and there were some, then there weren't anyways......

DSTZach Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexPredator Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 So series 3 and 4 is looking like a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We'll see. Series 1 is far from sold out, but if we can sell a bunch to Pulse, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DSTZach Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) 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.

Chooch Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 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. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCW Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 @DSTZach any word on the Adventure Team sets or when I should be on the lookout for those to be solicited? I saw that the Joe Colton AT statue got listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navaan Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Really hoping for sets 3 and 4. Â Flint. Lady Jaye. Zartan. Firefly. Serpentor. Tunnel Rat. Spirit. So many amazing characters you could roll out for this line. Â But man. A troop builder pack. It screams to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nandoninny Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 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 i went ahead and bought another series 1 to make a custom duke and roadblock until some real ones get made.
