I randomly decided to check out a ROSS today, and surprisingly I found POC vehicles loaded on the shelves!
The next shocker, they were priced at $11.99 each!!!

They only had the Hisstank and the Fury stocked, about 5 of each, no Wolf Hound or VAMP. Just to be sure, I scanned the whole store for any Mechs or any other POC item and didn't see anything else.
I don't get why ROSS has POC now, is POC cancelled or is this some mistake? Anyways, I bought myself one Hisstank and two Furys.

Here's my pic:

I dunno, the date stamp on the Hisstank from ROSS says 02391, so does anyone know if it is?

ok where is the receipt, we need solid proof not to mention most to all ross items have a huge sticker on the package so I'm just a little skeptical to believe that they have made it to ROSS just yet.

Getting a pic right now

I doubt it man. The figures seem to be selling well in comparison to vehicles. I usually see stacks of alpha vehicles and mech suits. Of the bravos, the HISS usually sells out quickest. Target didn't get any bravo vehicles and this may have played a part in ROSS getting the recent vehicles.

I sure hope this is true. I'd be scared to see my beloved POC line doing poorly.

Guess it's another question we can ask hasbro for the next Q&A...

Just got in with my set. Love the black Hiss. It ranks in the top 5 lad vehicles for Joes and Cobras! I cannot believe how solid this thing feels. can you imagine an RC version? there were three tanks and six of the Rage. The Alley viper didnt come with a shield. bummer. The Hiss Tank Driver is dorky. So the Alley Viper gets the Hiss. Not sure about that Rage though...

I also saw PoC vehicles at my TRU (next to the Ross). Just a HISS and the Mechs. Oh, and the Hawk VTOL.

Target still has HISS tanks at full price. I am thinking this was either a good purchase by the buyer for toys at Ross, or they picked up surplus from an online store.

Either way, I am pleased with my purchases.

If you ask Hasbro at the next Q&A, they'll say something like: "The vehicles are performing great, amazing, exceeding expectations. They did so well that we've decided not to spoil things by releasing anymore..."

They need to put a damn Ross in the New York City / Long Island area already.

I think that the closest one is down in Princeton, NJ.

Yea i willing to bet that's it a way to drum up more sales for X-mas at the discount stores, by creating a buzz for collectors. I'm sure Hasbro planning it.

Is there any way to tell by the box that its a blk hiss??

Is the numbers diff from the brown one?

CrimsonGuard101
12-07-2010, 04:49 AM
This can;t be a good sign...someone cancelled thier entire stock or sold it off cheap and quick to Ross for this to happen so quickly. It took them FOREVER to even start getting ROC crap after all this time around here. And now POC vehicles already appearing? And the black hiss none the less...I was hoping that the new year would bring more of the black hiss to retail...looks like that idea is shot to hell...

Hicks_Royel
12-07-2010, 04:58 AM
Yeeeaargh... tis be gloom and doom on the horizon of the panicked seas.

See what happened was Hasbro failed to say "Black HiSS Tanks" [literally spell it out] for retailers, who read the description and said, "More, of these shelf warming tanks, No tanks. Damn it, I mean 'thanks'... Damn brown turds."

So... when no one bought cases, they dumped the load on Ross. That's my theory:

Lack of communication on Hasbro's part and thus, they dropped the ball once again.

Lucky Bastards. Just had to ruin my HoH and Comic Pack haul high I was on.

I don't see how this spells the end of anything!?!?! I just think that Ross is getting lucky with some overstock...so what?

They are also getting Recent Star Wars stuff as well and they are 6 month behind on Transformers! Just saw some NEST ROTF toys...thank god cos I missed out on a few items (hoping to get a Sky Stalker).

The other stuff that Ross gets are exclusives from online only stores like BAdBoy toys and Comicon convention only specials.

I like what's going on here.

See, that's a decent way to apply logic. And you're right, Ross may be getting lucky for supporting Joes in the past. Nice work.

But you see what you did right here:
The other stuff that Ross gets are exclusives from online only stores like BAdBoy toys and Comicon convention only specials.
Someone's gonna read that and go, "What? I sat through the day after SDCC and did the Monday F5 ritual only to get screwed over by system crashes and having things removed from my cart and... and... they're just gonna get in Sgt. Slaughter's after I spent a week waiting for HTS.com to get them in and finally broke down and bought them off of eBay at scalper prices after having missed out numerous times on HTS.com because Scalpers/Sarge Army Builders beat me to the punch bowl every freaking time because someone just had to go and say, 'Sarge is up again at HTS' while I was in the crap shack!!!! [gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssp!] Oh, that's the some serious bull puck right there... Where's my pitch fork and centuries old torch stick? Someone get me my torch stick!"

And that, sir, is how people lose eye's and get trampled in riots.

You know, this is a great deal if you're walking into a store and buying your Fury or HISS for $11.99. But I'm not so sure if you're also paying for shipping.

For the HISS - even if it ends up costing $7 to ship each - still cheaper than Wal-Mart and for sure these are black. :D

Unless you're looking for the black Hiss.

But yeah, it was the same with the Stinger. Everyone I hooked up ended up paying at least $22 after shipping. A better deal than online/eBay, but still kinda pricey.

For the HISS - even if it ends up costing $7 to ship each - still cheaper than Wal-Mart and for sure these are black. :D

Where do you get $7? It's pretty heavy. I'm guessing after you put it in another box (which most prefer) it's going to cost more than that.

So POC vehicles at a discount store in the west coast?

What could be going on?

Will this be a close-out since POC is not selling well on the market right now.

Could be possible that all POC packing is going bye-bye since the push of the new cartoon "Renegades" (lame-o-gades).

I just hope we don't get stupid animation style figures like Clone Wars
(Dull Wars is more like it).

Oh well we shall see... frack you!!! ross stores on the west coast I hope you go bankrupt.

Sorry for the outburst just tired of all the baloney Hasbro is pushing at the fans of G.I.*JOE.

RolandofGilead
12-07-2010, 12:57 PM
My guess would be about $8 shipped US so $13 plus shipping is $21. for a vehicle that's $24.99 at the store. That is, if you can find the black version.

I live in a town called Fallbrook in So Cal and there is 3 Ross stores that are 15 miles or less from me. All the stores have multiples of the Fury and the Black Hiss Tank. But I still have not seen a damn Alley Viper in 2 months on the shelf. Crazy...

My issue in the past with these Ross sales is that People want the deal, but don't realize there's more than just the sticker price to consider. I remember with the W5 HISS and Stingers people were crying off when I gave them actual shipping costs. As if I'd buy the item, sell it for cost and throw in free shipping to boot.

I only did one trade during the arctic hiss and stinger months back. I ended up selling it to the guy because I found the possible trade, but I'm a man of my word. We made a deal on cost, I broke even, and we were both happy. So be sure to get funds first and think about shipping.

12-07-2010, 04:10 PM
Is this Hasbro or the lack of Target, and TRU not taking put the old and putting out the new. Plus only 1/3 local Wal Marts even have POC.
POC seems to sell well in my area, they just need to move the old stuff, did these stores ever think of sales? I run into Joe fans all the time, same complaints "need new stuff". Plus time to move Iron Man 2 figs to a smaller area.
After Christmas Target clearance should be good this year at least.

But if you make friends with our Midwestern brethren, I'm sure someone could ship you a set from Ollies and Marcs (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-toys-modern-general-discussion/73379-25th-me-roc-figures-found-ollies-marcs-11.html).

they had a crap load of the tanks there. I checked a few of them and they were all black. I bought 3 but there are a lot left. I would say about 12-15.

Ahhh man, thanks so much for letting us know! I scored a HISS for myself and one for my brother tonight! I just couldn't bring myself to pay the normal price for one... and really wanted one, so this is awesome! Like Santa came early.

I meant on reselling painted ones. With crazy themes and shit. I ask myself what the hell you could do with the massive amount of crap you buy? I do resell but I equally help Tankers out at cost. Recently Lody helped me out at cost for the Battle Cat and He Man. Don't punch me.

I actually am a little disappointed with the fury. I love the HISS. That is the way it was meant to be done!!!!! And i want to let everyone know it doesnt indicate anything bad for the line. I think it just comes down to the stores not wanting to stock more HISS tanks since they already had them warming shelves and they knew that the fury would be coming out with the vamp and probably waited for that wave to stock ,skipping over the black hiss. Im sure they could care less that the hiss was finally the color the fans wanted. Just a poor move too late by Hasbro. They will learn from it and make money off the next wave. So Stop worrying already!!!!!! The end is not near.

12-08-2010, 05:06 AM
I agree the end is not near. The problem is shelf space for toys, especially with the holidays, odd I know. Kids are just not playing with joes like we did. The SW pegs are almost all adult except for clone wars. When I'm at a store I see and talk to adults in the toy area, were always the buyers. Their kids are looking at other stuff, like nerf guns. Until the holidays are over I think the shelves remain the same, clearance the wave 1 POC and then here comes more joes. Add in the economy too and it's all us collectors. IMO The Hub should play Joe cartoons earlier, we live in DVR age for us adults, so let kids see Joe at a regular hour.
That's my thinking at the moment, common sense or stupidity, one of the two....Plus I'm happy I got basically a 2 for 1 special, didn't need another HISS, sadly don't have the space, but I can make room.

I went to Ross last night and found only a couple ROC desert 5pks... Phew! I hate that store, it is in a crappy part of town, customers are shady as hell and the store looks like a tornado hit it, literally! The merchandise is just thrown all around the store and on the floors. I had to dig through heaps of crap to find those 2 5pks... Definitely only going back there once someone verifies them on the East Coast... I feel like my car is going to be sitting on blocks every time I walk out... and during the Family Dollar blitz, forget about it, I felt like I needed to pack heat because those stores are nestled deep in the ghetto.
Anyways love the discount prices but hunting for Joes in the ghetto takes some real dedication! LOL!

I picked up a black HISS and a Fury at my SoCal Ross last night.
Plenty still available, along with Wal-Mart ROC 2 packs,
Ghosthawks, FLAKs, and some lingering ROC singles.
Lots of $2 25th Joes at the Marshall's across the street too.

This is very surreal.
I love the work Hasbro has done over the last 3 years,
and it is a blast hunting Joes at the discount stores, but it is
odd and scary to have such great stuff blown out so quickly
after the initial release. I have a 6 year old son who loves
Joes, but only because he's my kid and I have the classic comics
and Sunbow DVDs for him to enjoy. In his mind the Sunbow
stuff kills the Renegades stuff, but it is still early.
It is funny, but any revisionist story line that strays from
Larry Hama's universe bothers him. The ROC movie and
Renegades try to keep it fresh, but simply aren't as compelling
as Larry's work (or even the Sunbow universe).
Even a 6 year old can tell.

Anyways, cool deals at Ross. I hope the good tidings spread past California.

So i set up for a big day of hunting thru Phoenix, got all set and figured Id start right down the street. The first Ross I went in and there was nothing up front so I figured it was a bust. But in the back I found 4 sets of each. That's right 4 HISS and 4 Fury's on my first shot. Almost in walking distance. So I bought my 2 HISS's and left the rest. Not really a fan of the Fury at all. Day done.

Now I'm glad I didn't pay full price at Walmart or ToysRUs. I was tempted to buy just one there until I heard first, that someday they were replacing the brown ones and now its even half off as well as black. Ive got at least 6 Ross's nearby that I haven't been to, cant imaging how many tanks are around me.

Top right. The Black HISS that Hicks_Royel got from BBTS a few months back had the "31" as the last 2 digits IIRC. Anything found in the Fury revision case seems to be a safe bet.

They are talking about a Kroger Marketplace, not a regular Kroger grocery store. The marketplace stores are about twice the size of a regular Kroger. They sell all the regular stuff, plus furniture, appliances, tools, and they have a full toy department. One of these stores opened about a year ago close to me. They have a great selection of toys, and their sales and clearance prices are excellent.

My goal is four HISS tanks.

But I plan to replace the COBRA symbols with Destro ones and use them as Iron Grenadier Speed DEMONS since the elevation mechanism of the POC HISS reminds me so much of the old school DEMON and my hundred or so IGs have no ground vehicles to speak of. :(

Well, excepting my customs, but I don't count them.

there's an indented timestamp on the filecard. if it starts with 02, then it's the black version. If it's 01, it's a brown version.

So far, all of them from Ross are blacks. If it's from TRU or Walmart, it's brown.

Every time I see that pic it utterly destroys any reservations I had about getting the two brown ones. These are going to look beautiful, especially if I can kit them out with some extra firepower, as a heavy-weapons HiSS. :D
You know after looking at that pic again I have to say it looks pretty cool with no stickers. I think the next time I get one I'm going to go easy on the stickers. That's what I did on the Crimson Hydra, and I think it looks much better.

I found the Black hiss V and Cobra Fury a ross in VA this morning.They didn't have price tags on them so the lady saw a Ghost Hawk that was marked $8.99 and she was going to sell them to me for the same price ,but then on top of that she marked them down another $1.00.I got all 4 vehicles for $7.99 each.

Less stickers helps the Mark V alot. Now my only question is... do I convert all of them to be like this or just a couple?

You have even numbers of both? LOL. If it were me I would just convert them all and make two Hisstank squads instead of possibly having 4 variations. But man... if you change your mind one day... that is a lot of work to change everything back. Maybe you better meditate on it a while. LOL.

The Fury is great, I dig how sleek it looks. It's also more heavily armed compared to the HISS. Always wanted the Rage, never had it, so the Fury suits me.

I thought about it just for the figures...I'll back tomorrow and look at them again I suppose. I hid them just in case.

...of course that didn't take much doing, as my Ross looks like a disaster anyways, :\

This may be a silly question and maybe we don't know, what with them appearing at discount stores, but... does this mean that we shouldn't expect to see this wave of vehicles in the usual stores (WM, Target, TRU) at all?

Thank you guys for sharing...i would have never gone. Went to the Hermitage,TN Ross and didnt see any initially. I saw a small remote helicopter and thought it was cool and reached to grab it. when i looked behind it I found a Hiss and Fury hidden.

I randomly decided to check out a ROSS today, and surprisingly I found POC vehicles loaded on the shelves!
The next shocker, they were priced at $11.99 each!!!

They only had the Hisstank and the Fury stocked, about 5 of each, no Wolf Hound or VAMP. Just to be sure, I scanned the whole store for any Mechs or any other POC item and didn't see anything else.
I don't get why ROSS has POC now, is POC cancelled or is this some mistake? Anyways, I bought myself one Hisstank and two Furys.

Here's my pic:

No dont do that lol...there goes the neighborhood...Ross will now find out that main retail is not getting these and will decide to compete in the big boys retail markup market and raise the price to a premium! lol they will put a "Only at Ross" sticker on it and sell for $45.99....though it owuld be cool if walmart stopped carrying toys all together and TJ Maxx, Ross and Marshalls took it over for em and were a consitent source of Joes.

Finally got a few in Central Florida at the Davenport I-4 exit. But as far as those people saying that the fact that these are on clearance means that the line ain't doing well, you don't know anything about demands and distribution, because I would've known if these made it to Central Florida before, and trust me, if they would've, there would've been way less if any at all left to go to Ross stores around the country.

I really want to do an enviromental custom on this piece, but i'm just not sure what environment to do. ??

LOL - that same tornado apparently touched down at specific Ross locations in PHX too. ...It's almost like they open the shipping room doors and through the items to the general department where the item should go.

That's too funny. Now we know why they can keep their prices so low...one overnight stock person and a skeet thrower.
