I'm probably going to regret this, as I need a lot of IRON Grenadier Command sets and my funds will be tied up for a couple of days, but:
G.I. Joe Air Command (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3333875)
G.I. Joe Sea Command (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3333869)
IRON Grenadier Command (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3333870)
Enjoy my fellow Vipers.

I was so glad these were still up when I woke up. Man I would've been ticked if I missed them. My Toys R Us is not carrying these at all. They told me until they get rid of the 6 on the shelf and another 20 some in the back they aren't going to reorder. I've seen the same 6 for three months now. No one is buying wave 1

This is bull-crap! I tried to order these at 9:00 AM EST today and got a message stating "The following item(s) or quantity is not available. You will not be charged for any item that is not available for shipment. We have removed the item from your order, and provided you with the following options" even though the website said all these items are "in stock"

yeah at least the destro pack is out.... it actually brought me to the check out then removed it automatically. I was so p!ssed off, I canceled the whole order. Real nice live inventory system they have there.

Well that didn't take long. :(
They either already SOLD OUT of the Navy set, or never had them in stock in the first place. :(

Same thing I got on the Navy / Sea set. :(

So I guess TRU Online Has Wave 2 SRO Sets; But we can't have them.

I was fortunate enough to be able to order one of each around 8 this morning. Now I just have to hope the paint apps are reasonably good...

I'd be happy to sell/trade you mine when I get him. I really have no attachment to Star/Sky/Duster/Buster. :) I'll also have a Gung-Cutter available and a Gold head Destro to sell/trade.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the IG and Air sets. I can wait or skip the other one.
nacho
10-06-2008, 02:12 PM
Yeah, I appreciate the heads-up. I ordered two of each on my way out the door this morning around 7:30. Glad I checked the Tank before work, as I'd hate to have missed these already.

Since they are the only company carrying these sets you think they would have more in stock.
Bildar76
10-06-2008, 02:27 PM
Well I ordered mine at 7 this morning and everything went through. Now I just got an emailing saying the IG and the Pilot set is on backorder. So I don't know if I will get them or not. The pilots was the one I wanted the most!

They probably have separate buys for the ecommerce "store" vs the brick and mortar and stock them individually. Too bad I missed out here - the TRU close to my house is shutting down while they build a new one and are clearing all the stock. So it may be a while before I get these, but I have faith I will. Until then, there is plenty else to get.

Send me a PM to remind me. That way I'll have your info so I can get back with you when they come in.

I hope these end up being as abundant as the first wave are in stores now. The only pack I'm interested in is the Air Command. Even then, mostly just Ace and Starduster.
Hicks_Royel
10-06-2008, 03:20 PM
Well, seems I missed out all the way around today. Ah well, bound to be more.
Edit: Fast Draw, if you want to get rid of that Wild Bill when you find your 3 pack, let me know.

isn't he the same as the wave 6 CP version, but in different colors?

Yeah, but he comes with a pilot helmet as I understand it... (imagine that, right?)
SNAKE EYES
10-06-2008, 03:42 PM
Yes^ They both come with the flight helmet. The comic pack Wild Bill is in cartoon colors and the SRO Wild Bill looks like he is mostly black and grey.

Yeah, but I have a plan for the figure not so much the character. And I don't really wanna paint the CP version is I can help it.

Well I'm happy at least some people were able to submit some successful orders. Too bad TRU can't keep adequate stock. Hopefully they'll restock soon.

TRU cancelled my CG 5-pack order during the summer because 'Hasbro discontinued the item'. I'll just wait until I find them in stores so there's none of that BS again.
Hicks_Royel
10-06-2008, 07:08 PM
well, I'll let you know if I get it.
Like I said, only if you wind up not wanting to keep it, is all.
TRU cancelled about 60% of my original exclusive orders due to shortage only to post it all online again later on. If I had a TRU closer by, I wouldn't even mess with the website. Ain't it my luck the one day I should check it, is the one I don't.

I am not worried. My TRU gets tons of these exclusives in. It is just hitting them on the right day, when the new stuff comes in...
brock Samson
10-06-2008, 08:37 PM
Give it a few weeks and the shelves will be swarming with these. TRU orders so much, just takes time to get them to every store. I still see all of the first wave SRO's at stores.

I'm pretty sure I'll find these at TRU. But I wish the front page of this site would pick up on this kind of news quickly. I sometimes will glance there real fast during work and don't dig into the forums. Granted, it sounds like the figures were gone within minutes. Like many of you, I just can't be checking every five minutes to see if the figures are available. I'm hoping I find out about the online pre-sale of the Target battle set in time, though. Target exclusives are a pain to hunt for.
TRU's web site is annoying me, though. I ordered the last round of SRO sets from the site, and one was canceled on me, weeks after they showed up in stores. And I ordered the Greenshirts and Crimson Guard sets, but there is now no record of that order in my account, so I think TRU's system ate it. It just vanished. Guess I'll be looking for those in stores, too. :-/

thanks to the OP for the post. Mine have yet to ship yet (which is always scary with TRU's crappy online stock system) but I should have got all 3. Saves me a headache looking from TRU to TRU near the holiday season.

im actually not sure i want these after seein the pics of cutter an deep six, i like the torpedo an want the ig, im still waitin to see what the air guys look like! that cutter an deep six is disgustin' an deepsix lol come on! first we see that suit made for air an now its for under water haha thats jus a rip off set! the igs is wheres its at though!

I got my notice that mine shipped this morning. I was worried after the FF/GS fiasco earlier this year. For some reason I really like these. I have a Bantha5 Cutter head waiting, Sky Duster is cool, I like this Deep Six, it maybe my default Deep Six as I don't dig the deep dive suit. The Ace will absolutely become my default Ace. I think these packs are pure win.
nacho
10-08-2008, 08:25 AM
Same here, mine shipped and I'm stoked! These are better than the first SRO sets where the only new character was mud-face grunt. Starduster, a useable Deep Six, a torpedo that will make an awesome custom wetsuit... these are much improved.
thunderdan19
10-08-2008, 08:47 AM
Mine are on the way too! I'm really hoping for decent paint apps. I've heard they can be a little sketchy on these.

Just got mine today. Love these sets. Surprised how awesome Ace looks, is this a new head?
Love the Iron Grenadier set as well.
Deep Six looks surprisingly good. I know some have commented that his space suit shouldn't be a diving suit, but having it in hand it looks SO much like those 19th century old school diving suits. Very cool.
Love all these sets and to get them cheaper than retail is amazing.

To be honest I am not even that excited about these now. I need another IG DESTRO like I need cancer. Cutter looks alright (just shipwreck with a new head, and I guess Ill need Starduster to add to my modern era joe collection, but I'm not that happy about the repaint wildbill/Destro and The Deep-Six/ACE look horrible...Ill get them eventually I suppose.

No, but they've painted the little black lines at the top of the eye this time around, which makes him look less goofy.

is the deep 6 the same as the 1 that comes the shark or does it have better articulation?

Deep Six is completely different than that one. He uses Comic Pack Ace's body.

It's not grey it's purple.
For what it's worth they say that the red is the officer and the purple is the trooper.
Myself, I'm flipping that. Purple as officer, red as trooper.
