G.I. Joe Movie ROC Official Movie Toy Release Thread

DESTRO · 07-02-2009, 01:46 PM

The Official Hasbro release date for the launch of the new line is July 6th. Due to the street date being moved up 1 week some stores may not have their full resets in effect while others may have their product out starting on July 3rd-4th in-order to complete resets for the Official date.

We ask all board members to report any sightings of the G.I. Joe Movie toy launch in our G.I. Joe Sightings forum as well as this thread.

G.I. Joe Sightings - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe

Please report in with details on the Retail Outlet, City and State and what was in-stock.

Some stores like Wal-Mart will only have end-caps and drop-pallet displays at first until their full resets are complete in August.

The PIT will be available this weekend but not all locations may have this Play Set instock. There will be plenty to go around but we ask when reporting in on finds to let us know if you find this item in the wild.

There are unofficial reports that Target and Toys "R" Us will have their stock out on the 4th. In any case report your findings here and happy hunting!

My TRU in Depford NJ told me the 4th. They had two pegs of the first wave of figs on the floor, and presumably more after the old revision stock clears out. Didn't see any vehicles though.

TRU in Indy said 4th yesterday. Sign of the things to come one of the smallest Targets in Indy confirmed they have 84 figures in the back and will release theirs on 6th.

I live in southern California, and visited one Target in Puente Hills that had 6 ROC figures available on 6/30 and another Target in Rancho Santa Margarita that had a full figure assortment available on 7/1.

The Walmart I work for has yet to receive any ROC products. We got TF movie products 2 1/2 weeks before the street date. I expected the same for ROC but it hasen't happen yet. I realize they moved the date, but only by 5 days or so. Even if they come in tonight or tommorrow it will be a week or 2 before the Toy manager puts them on the shelf.

I tried to purchase a couple of prematurely-pegged figures at TRU last week and when scanned by the cashier, he said they were not available for purchase until the 4th. So, that date seems pretty solid as far as TRU goes.

It's great that they moved the release dates up on these but I still think the fact that they have pre-determined release dates for toys at all is ridiculous.

My local comic shop sold me the first 2 waves of figs last night... 17 figs total. A friend of mine stopped at a local Target and an employee had pulled 2 cases for some folks. Rumor has it that Sat. the 4th will be a release date as well.
