Empty Target Pegs

Ok, I'm not sure if this is widespread, but it certainly had me wondering, and then Yakface brought the subject up on their homepage...

No new Star Wars product at Target?!

For the past month, I've noticed that my local Targets (3 of them) have had the same exact figures on the pegs. Week after week I would drop by, and shelves were not restocked. Which means that, week by week, there is less and less Star Wars presence.

Is this a cut-back in anticipation for the launch of TVC?? Is Target deliberately not ordering new cases of figures so that they don't have any leftovers by the time TVC is out? But that doesn't make sense either, becuase it's June, and they new line isn't set to launch till late July/early August.

If anyone's seen anything different or have had similar occurences, please post them!

JediJman:
Not only have the Targets here not gotten new cases, they have taken figures off the pegs.  I haven't been to bullseye in ages, but store reports indicate that many of the stores around here only have a few figures left on the pegs.  Not sure if they are selling or being recalled or what, but I find it very very odd.

David:
I just saw the same thing yesterday. All I saw were Galactic Heroes, a Y-Wing and some lightsabers.

My local store pulled about 14 Admirla Yularen figures earlier in the week but they still had the rest of the figures on the pegs as of this afternoon.  They even stocked a case of CW and SL figures last weekend.

Walmart seems to have had some CW figures pulled as well, there were fewer figs on pegs today and I'd be surprised if they actually sold some.  I did pick up a Yularen there the other day along with a droid, but there were more of those two on the pegs when I left but gone today.  Glad I snagged that Yularen when I did, wanted the accessory.

Not sure what's going on, exactly, or the reasoning, since I doubt there's really anything left in the DC to stock or send to stores anyway.  Seems like stores would rather have something on the pegs till mid July rather than nothing.  Unless there's a push to get the new assortments to the stores?  I could only hope they decided to ship figs in June rather than for August.

There are reports that once again Hasbro reps have pulled pegwarmers off the shelves... maybe all of the figures were pegwarmers?? ???
