Amazon.com Stocks Up

[gijoebase]

Its funny how quickly amazon.com stocked up on gi joe 2-packs, alphas, and bravos a few days ago, and its been like one or two days and they are almost already sold out of most of them. I've never seen other toys on that site sell out that quickly. And Hasbro's putting gi joe on hiatus. Madness, I tell you...

Well, to be fair there's also people buying more than usual because the line is now on "hiatus".

You should see when Marvel Legend figures go online there, usually sell out in under an hour.

It is all a marketing ploy! @hmmm@

To be honest they are not selling any faster than rare ML, Star Wars or Sportspicks.

One thing to also remember is that Amazon.com rarely gets a lot of any of these products. Chances are, they had only a few cases of each item. So, while they sold out quickly, they may have sold barely 100 units.

 

I've found that Amazon.com rarely orders in much greater quantities than the larger online Joe retailers. (Except for the exclusives. They do get a decent amount of those.) So, their selling out is not, necessarily, a sign of the Joe line being a huge success since their stock was probably rather small.
