I ONLY DO BUSINESS WITH SMALLJOES.COM OR KOKOMO TOYS BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS UNRELIABLE. SOME MAY BE SEX OFFENDERS.
You can have your own opinion but not your own facts.
AND THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS NOTHING BUT FACT.

I might preorder a couple of figs just because I don't wanna hunt them down. Kokomo is definitely the place to preorder from. I think I read somewhere here on the tank that e-trailers could start preorders on 4/28.

I'd be willing to bet KoKomo will be cheaper than Midtown. KoKomo may even be cheaper than Target. You don't have to drive around and won't miss a figure that turns into the next Renegades SS. Also by supporting KoKomo and Smalljoes, you are helping to support fellow collectors.

They are not all taller, at least not that much taller. The plastic doesn't seem any cheaper than POC/30th to me, in fact, it seems really nice on all of the figures I have. It's strong and dull like it should be. I think people need to stop being so critical and give these a chance. They are excellent figures.

Was really hoping that these movie figures were not going to be more expensive than any other line thus far... Not surprised but seriously though this hobby is getting more and more expensive and this line really is a step backwards in quality... POC/30th I dealt with the prices this line the price is hard to take... No knock to Kokomo or BBTS cause you guys rock but just a bit disappointed in how much these cost...
Wow, these are way too expensive on BBTS. I've never done it, but I might just wait until they hit the shelf. I hope I don't miss out on something special by not preordering.

These should be preorders as well.
We still don't know which stores on the West Coast are gonna carry these. Being a collector in SoCal is the worst because you have to deal with scalpers and hoarders (aka Collectors). I don't want to waste gas hunting for these when they can just show up at my door. Like most of us, I can't be at stores right when they open. I have a job that pays me well, so I can buy these plastic crack addictions.

Here in Ohio they are confirmed for Dollar General, so if you have that out in SoCal you should be in luck. I suggest stopping in one or two places with the UPC and asking about them. That's how we found out here.
I agree though, I really prefer to deal online, retail is too tricky these days.

Not yet, but seeing as FD got the Marvel Hasbro stuff I expect they'll get the Joes as well. I imagine most Dolllar stores will get these.

There are 9 Dollar Generals within an hour of me... but none closer than half an hour away. These $6 figures will likely cost me $10 with gas factored in. So I'd take a preorder for these if I could.
There is a Family Dollar within 10 minutes of me though, so hopefully they get them in as well.
Not going to bother preordering Retaliation stuff... I found literally everything for ROC at retail, including the SDCC exclusives(at an Ollies).

I'm happy we're getting so much. But since I have to buy everything online I have to pay a mark up. This means I'll have to pass on some items and hope I get them later. The vehicles and the sucky action figures makes the choice a little easier. I really like most of the vehciles except the Snake-Eyes Awe-Striker, that's just dumb.

people are actually going to pre-order these? Not like they are going to be hard to find once they hit retail...
I think you meant to say not hard to find once they hit the clearance aisle.

What is "Sneak Attck Storm Shadow" from Wave 2? Might order a W2 case, but want to know what this figure is...

The camo SS like was shown with the presentation of the toys? Don't recall another SS.

If you experince problems with loading www.kokomotoys.com (http://www.kokomotoys.com/) please keep trying throughout the day. The site is receiving a lot of visits due to the Retaliation pre-orders. We are checking with our service provider now to assist with the flood of traffic. Last we checked nearly all 100 of the Red Ninja figures are sold. There was less than a dozen! Thanks for all the support guys.

I don't remember anohter either, but the database lists that one as "Ninja Duel"... I personally think that camo one is completely worthless and was hoping I had missed a better one. I do like the wave 1 Strom Shadow a lot though.
EDIT: I now see Kokomo is showing the picture of the camo SS as the wave 2 one... so at least they believe it's that one.
The wave 2 case is pretty sensible. Carries over the army builders and x2 of most of the new figures. I might get wave 1 in store and get a case of wave 2 online in case it's harder to find. Still thinking it over...

does the hiss tank have actual treads? looks like solid plastic from the pic

Off topic: I wonder why Kokomo does not offer the Star Wars Vintage line? Looks like pricing went up another $10 a case at all the other guys on that one... now $120 at BBTS/$130 at EE. But it's almost less likely to see new SW at stores these days than even GI Joe.

It's preorder from Past generation toys so that explains the higher price.

I don't know if it's anyone being "bad", prices on most everything are going up everywhere and if a company like Hasbro charges more per unit than a year ago, well, the effect continues down the chain.
Yes it sucks in an economy like this, but these are all luxury, unessential goods (at least to the rest of the world :)), so adjust accordingly.

TRU has the best online pricing of them all if you can't wait for lower prices in stores or don't have access to retail outlets. Single figs are $9.99 regardless of the figure, the three packs are 19.99 and vehicles are 15.99/21.99 which are less than Kokomo, bbts, smalljoes, etc with an exception here and there. If you order $100 worth, you get free shipping to boot. I'm sure you'll have to pay tax but it's better than paying shipping.
I'm going to patiently wait, these will probably start setting on the sales floor two to weeks early. All I want is a Joe trooper or two and the Ninja Cruiser wherever it drops as an exclusive. Oh, and the dollar store figures will be occupying my Joe dollars in the foreseeable future.

Not only is this going to ruin Jon Chu's career and Adrienne Palicki's big Maxim moment, but its gonna sink Kokomo Toys. No way they survive the sheer hurk of those peg warmers.
