Hey,
Just wondered if anyone else had come across this different/variant packaging on any of the ROC figures that they've seen @ retail recently. I found this promo plush tag packaging @ my local target on Sunday when they set their ROC endcaps. The 3 figures that came in this package variation were Duke, Storm Shadow, and Snake Eyes, all from the first wave, first assortment of single figures. I didn't see this package variation @ TRU when I went Saturday morning, so I'm wondering what the deal is w/this package variation. How limited is it, which stores got it, is it store specific, has anyone else seen it, are these the only figures that come packaged with it, etc..? Also, it's not an add-on from a Hasbro rep, because these are clearly factory produced packages, not just put on later w/a plush tagger by hand, and they were right out of a case when I first came across them. |

Is this for that 'chase the case' sweepstakes?

It's probaby the sweepstakes.
So that's the "extra green tags" the person was talking about in that other thread.

The tag only promotes the G.I. Joe website, not the contest. I'm not sure what the deal is with this packaging add-on.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the fact that his arm was in front of the sword in the one pack before I read your post. I was gonna say "LAME!" But I never saw that at TRU either.

We found the tagged figs (we started calling the tags 'dingle-berries') at only one of the half-dozen Targets we hit on Saturday while hunting... only one. Personally, I'd prefer to have my figs without the dingle-berries. All the Neo-Vipers I bought 6... 1 to save, 5 to open... which means I need a non-dingle-berried one :p... had them. Any other figs we found with dingle-berries were only bought as openers.
And the new cards don't fit into any of the Star Cases we have... not well anyway :( |

Not to change the subject but ya dedboy found that out too.. so we are looking to see what other star cases we have and what other options ..
Im going to check a few of the episode III cases I have, as well as a few other older style clam shell star wars cases I have to see if any of them would work at all.. otherwise I will be putting out a request to the supplier of my MOTUC cases to see what the cost to make some new cases would be .. - Rick |
