Ok Guys, Two interesting things relating to GI joe Retaliation toys:
First, I Stopped by Dayton Mall TRU yesterday and found 1 Hiss Tank, 1 Ghost Hawk II, 1 Joe Trooper, 1 CC and 2 Cobra Trooper and the second thing is while waiting in line the store manager comes over and starts talking to me about GI joe and that he is a fan of the old stuff and the new stuff and can't wait for the new movie to come out in June! So i had to break the bad new to him about its been delayed for nine months and mention about hasbro recalling the movie toys back! He was upset about the delayed Joe movie, but he said on the good side, im sure it will be better than before and I ask him did Hasbro reach out or sent a letter about recalling the toys back? He said we didnt get anything from hasbro and talking to you about it is the first i heard about it. And if hasbro does sent something, mostly likely we're not sending anything back! thats money in our register and our profits so hasbro will have to learn from their mistakes! I hope this is abit of positive information about TRU and what they might be doing to keep us in the loop. I just dont know if all TRU's will be doing this, but my local TRU is putting up a fight to keep them. I hope this helps. |

Laser viper, I talked to some guy in glasses, a younger guy in the joes section, about 3:00 pm, he said something along the lines that they are getting a truck in and it might have to goe back, but I doubt something like that would happen, like you said, "money in their pocket", nuff said. but I did get the snake eyes three pack, a red ninja single, and storm shadow single, I really like them, but damn it if there wasn't one joe trooper, and that to me is the shining star so to speak of the wave, kinda haloish ya know, all in all, a decent score, I guess I'll be checking tomorrow, before vacation time, adios amigos.

Kenwood TRU and Blue Ash Target both have a wide selection of movie joe toys, though there's no CC at either (there was one, I admit, at TRU)
TRU also has TONS of renegades toys (the wave SS was in) and a few hazard vipers They also have buy one get one 50% But they had at least 3 shipments of that renegades wave- which makes me think there's a scalper around who swiped up all the SS. This really irks me since I have yet to own one.

Well today (yesterday?) was interesting. Helped a friend move his girlfriend from BG to Napoleon, took us 11hrs, and this was after throwing freight for 8hrs on third shift. I did convince him to drive me around BG for a little hunting and I found...nothing. Well not exactly nothing, Walmart had Retaliation toys and a full case of wave 1 figures, Rite Aid had overpriced ROC crap, and Walgreens had a single POC figure, unfortunatly it was Tornado Kick Snake Eyes :(. Oh and Dollar General had a TON of Joes, but they were all the old cheap O-ring repacks.
So to recap, 30+hrs with no sleep, a few thousand pounds of freight and furniture, and hundreds of miles of driving back and forth, and all I found was the one Snake Eyes from POC I would never buy. He did buy me a $5 pizza though so it wasn't a complete waste |

As of right now, just looking for 1 or 2 more Hiss tanks V.6, they have grown on me alot and swapping to gatling cannons to hang lower so the turrent can move 360 degrees makes a BIG difference.
The Ghost Hawk II is also pretty cool, but im only taking it from a movie toy perspective, not Joe verse. The Hiss Tank and the GH are worth it, but just have to get over that hump of a non-articulated figure they come with. Also, need a red ninja, a Joe trooper and maybe zartan, not sure about him yet. |

The movie stuff is not being recalled by any retailer.
There's been a whirlwind of movie toys in all spots (kind of a "duh" statement) that I've seen. Have had little to no luck with the basic assortment at Dollar General. |
