Same response here. Before they were supposed to go on sale, our stores said they were ready and one even had place card holders for them. Day before the sale those were moved to another section and half the cards were gone. Since then we never received any of these GI Joes. About a week into the "sale" all cards but one was gone. One store DID get Duke and Roadblock in, from the non-exclusive first wave. Another store got in the exclusive Roadblock (about 4 of those).
No more physical holders left. Target website said Beachhead was for sale BUT....

To the average employee these are all toys , they figure kids are gonna buy them and rip the package open anyway. You might get one or two that cares about MOC collecting and try to preserve the package as much as possible but most of them are just trying to finish their task as fast as possible so they can move to the next one. Also, there's a good chance that by the time you or a polite good natured collector get there they already had to deal with a bunch of rude customers who tell them how to do their jobs and let's not get into people who swap figures, who hide the figures and peopleopen the packages to take something. It's not ideal behavior for them but I can't really blame the employees for getting fed upand not caring about a toy.
