The Air Jordan Anniversary releases, flopping?

So when Jordan Brand came up with the idea of releasing all white Jordan's and calling them the 25th Anniversary's I have to say initially I was kind of excited, however with the releases so far they seem to all be flopping, I, II, III, IV, and IX with the exception of the all white AJ 2010 which was limited. So I ask these questions, are they flopping because of people saving up for the already great line of retro's set to release this year, like the VI's, IX's, XI's etc? Are they flopping because when you hear something like anniversary edition you expect something unique about the releases, instead you get Pure III & IV's that are pretty much the same thing that released in recent years? Seriously JB went a long way to build the hype around the 3 releases this past weekend III, IV & IX's with contests and spreading the shoes out to make it like a hunt for all 3, is it flopping? As I type this on a Monday morning I see Eastbay still has a full size run of the III & IV, Finishline still has the IX's and almost everywhere still has the I and II. Are we all sleeping on releases that will become something special later or what? Comment away people, I'd like to know your opinion.
