[khill926]

Cool. What store?

[46 Zone]

Is that Meijers again?

[jmw326]

awesome. What store is that?

[Jmacq1]

Just went for Milk and Eggs and found the MOVIE FIGURES!
price - $6.97

Which store is this? Isn't $6.97 far less than was expected as the price on these? (I thought for sure they were supposed to be $8 - $9.99 like most of the rest of Hasbro's brands). If these are gonna be going for $6.97, I suspect the Retaliation figures might be a big hit just on price alone.

But still, nice find. You're (as far as I know) leak #2...wonder how many more we'll see in the next three weeks?

[Laser Viper]

Looks like Meijers from what the price tags looks like

[Dem_Yoe'z!]

That is definitely Meijer's I can tell by the display lol!

[Steve T]

Friggin' Meijers!

[Indiana Joe]

sorry, It's a Meijer, AGAIN!

[Mermaniel]

Grab me a Roadblock and Red Ninja and take my money!

The price is more like what we are expecting for the dollar store prices.
maybe the prices will not be as inflated as we thought?

I'm going to another Meijer tonight (before school).I got my one of each. so, If I find more I will be "filling" orders ;)

[rip_cord]

Nice find....and nice price!!!

You HAD to have a close-up on that Red Ninja, didn't you? :D

[Indiana Joe]

Nice find....and nice price!!!

You HAD to have a close-up on that Red Ninja, didn't you? :D

oooOOoOoOoOOoohhh, YEAH! this was my favorite from this wave. happy I found it first!

[RolandofGilead]

I checked for other locations and there's no Meijers within a 20 mile radius of me. :(

[rip_cord]

oooOOoOoOoOOoohhh, YEAH! this was my favorite from this wave. happy I found it first!

Well congrats!!! He's the only one I want to buy at this point.

[jiffy18]

Congrats! Now you have to make a review for the figures

[spiderpumpkin]

Omg

[seanbratton]

Saw these at a price of 21.99 at the TRU in Fort Wayne, IN today.

[rdodger]

Meijers must be the best store ever.

[CrimsonGuard101]

And there they will sit for 4-5 years...

[seanbratton]

I actually kind of liked the Snake Eyes but after $80 on the Amazon sets this week I figured I'd better hold off.

[hahoo3]

SE does look cool, but I'll wait til he goes on sale.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Be nice to walk into failget or failmart and see them priced for 6.87 like these are...but alas this will never happen 9.99-10.99 is the new pink...

[cmderinchief]

OK, first time was news, now this is just bragging. ha ha!

[orezona]

Is anyone here actually interested in those things? For themselves, that is. Getting them for your kids doesn't count.

Kids? What kids? lol

[Indiana Joe]

just proving once again "There's more than corn in Indiana"

[neapolitan joe]

Yo joe!

[seanbratton]

With all these sightings and Kokomo Toys, Indiana is the place to be for GI Joe!!!

[orezona]

Kids? What kids? lol

My kids are totally going to get any Retaliation vehicle drivers I come across.
I figure they'll be nice substitutes for teething toys since I won't have anything to do with them.

Interesting that the battle-kata oversized figs look like they were just shoved onto the shelves in the pics. I hope Hasbro didn't make too many thousands of those...

[fireflyguy]

Can I put my order in for a Joe trooper? That's all I want! You lucky dogs in Indiana! I hope these hit soon. Just called my TRU and they got nothing thus far. They said call back tomorow.

[rdodger]

Yeah, those figures are destined to end up at Ross and TJ Maxx.

[youdoitimbusy]

I'm going to another Meijer tonight (before school).I got my one of each. so, If I find more I will be "filling" orders ;)

I know you think your helping others by filling orders, but you are screwing the rest of us in the city... so thanks for that:)

[Black Llama]

You figure the Target/Wall Mart/TrU price on these is going to be $10.99. If those shitty "action battlers" are 22$ they are going to jack the price up on everything.

[Black Llama]

Wrong thread ":D

[Indiana Joe]

I know you think your helping others by filling orders, but you are screwing the rest of us in the city... so thanks for that:)

Go to the Meijer on Grape Rd. in Mishawaka, Indiana and get some.

Oh, is that too far? ok then, if I find some here I'll get them and send them to you. no! don't do that? ok.

***ATTENTION EVERYONE***
these are for me and that scalper over there that wants $200.00 on eBay, only! everyone else will just need to wait! lol

There is only 1 other tanker round here (that I know of) and I posted on his message board/wall FIRST. then posted this thread.

I'm not keeping anything from you.

They are not even suppose to be out yet.
why can't I spread it out a little?

oh, and by the way.......YOUR WELCOME!
(nick burns -your company's computer guy!)

BTW- this is a "fake" rant. ok?

[lance858a]

Indiana?!!!! WTF is the use of living in California and being taxed up the @SS if I can't even get the latest GI Joes first?!!!!

[Indiana Joe]

Indiana?!!!! WTF is the use of living in California and being taxed up the @SS if I can't even get the latest GI Joes first?!!!!

It breaks down like this:

New Movies- east/west coast -first

New Music- (before iTunes) east/west coast -first

Brush fire out-breaks- california -first

hurricanes/floods- the south -first

Tornadoes and Retaliation figures- the mid-west -first

check your almanacs, it's in there!

[KINGOFNOD5]

[CrimsonGuard101]

You got 26 more days before mass retail (or sooner if target walmart somehow break street dates)...just wait...there will be plenty I am sure...

[Wylde Weezle]

just proving once again "There's more than corn in Indiana"

HA! I do miss those Indiana Beach commercials. I actually got to go once when I was 9. Great find, I'm hoping our Fred Meyer stores (Kroger's Seattle brand) gets them in soon as they sell Joe figures at that $6.97 price point.

[bandonov]

Nice Find

[sci-find]

Great pricepoint!!

[polyphenus]

I really want to get my hands on these guys

You mean the toys, right? If not, then that's cool too, I suppose, but this might not be the board to request that sort of thing...

[Dolemite]

in a MEIJER AGAIN!

Just went for Milk and Eggs and found the MOVIE FIGURES!
price - $6.97I HATE you, man!!!

Seriously, though, I applaud your good fortune, my friend. Did ya buy any (sorry if you said if you did already)?

[sbartek1974]

Great find! I didn't know people still go to the store for just milk and eggs these days. Sounds so old school. :)

[CrimsonGuard101]

No... old school would be using your own cows and chickens and not going to the store...out in the pasture..

[Dem_Yoe'z!]

I just was at this TRU and I gotta say these 10" figures are even more horrible in person than they are in the picts. They feature that "action grabbing" gimmick similar to the green/yellow Kamakura figure from the new-sculpt era. Total pass.

However since these are now officially at TRU, the regular movie figures can't be too far behind.

[MeLikeJinx]

Is Meijer even allowed to do this? How come Hasbro is not coming down on them hard for breaking street date.

[orezona]

I wonder if whoever at the TRU who put out the 10" figures made a major boo-boo... I bet they'll still be there by Christmas.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Hasbro dosent have MiBs to go out and take of these issues...that costs money...and well..they just dont care lol..

[MeLikeJinx]

Yah, but I remember a small shop getting in trouble for breaking streetdate for ROC figs... like they got a call from Hasbro asking them to stop doing it... or something like that. Maybe Hasbro had more money back then... in 2009.

[Dolemite]

Those 10" figures look like ass in humanoid form.

[DR.Sin]

That meijer's display kind of reminds me of a Walmart or Target design. That is pretty impressive. Never knew what a meijer's looked like at all.

[nighthawk]

I wonder when the regular figs will show up in Canada.

[rdodger]

No... old school would be using your own cows and chickens and not going to the store...out in the pasture..

Nice.

[80sKid]

Retaliation figures and vehicles just popped up on TRU.com, the 3-packs are only $19.99!

[Shamac]

Well, now I got 2 reasons to cry and get drunk with my great mexican Tequila--, reason #1. GI Joe Retaliation may not be seen in México- or just a few figures- thne buying by Intenet will cost me up to 300%, and Reason #2 also there are a los of Crysis 2 troopers - not available here in México

We might be able to help each other find stuff. I'll send you a PM.

There is a lot of truth to this statement. I am not biased...
