I've seen several of the thors in the wild. Do you guys mean the single pack? I grabbed him over a month ago and saw him then at a few TRUs.

nothing new joe wise

like walking into a wastleland

but i did find Rhino action figure down in bowie

still no doom going to check out a comic book store that might have it, wish me luck

the novelty of POC has completely worn off. Hasbro is doing wrong by delaying the release date of these figures until Fall 2010. I was excited about a few but I've seen these figures several times since last year's early press images of POC (mid Fall 2009). The initial press images of a future toyline and the release date should NEVER BE GREATER THAN EIGHT MONTHS. I don't see myself driving from Walmart to Target to TRU for any POC figures since it all looks like it should have been out in retail early this year.

Anyways,congrats on getting that RHINO figure. I might look for one while I'm in Columbia tonight.

thanks and good luck find it at the kmart in bowie, but i agree with POC should have be out now and not the fall then again it would run into they other lines like marvel brands and star wars brand like i always said gijoe is the red headed step child of hasbro

TRU Annapolis has restocked their ROC figures..Doc, Shipwreck, Snow Serpent, Benchpress, Arctic SE, City Strike SE, Fang Vipers, PP SS and Baroness, Viper w/ the dog...all back in stock.

I haven't been out looking for the past two weeks. I'm waiting until May to start looking for IM2 Wave 2 for both the movie and comic toys. Hulkbuster Iron Man looks awesome.

PoC is arriving to on-line retailers on July 28th. I guess we won't start seeing a good supply of them here in MD until late August. Too bad, really, Hasbro would have blew the top off Joe toy sales if PoC came out in January and was still going strong currently.

Kids have short attention spans for things are aren't at the forefront of advertising and merchandising. Besides Bakugan, young boys would only be interested in IM2 and maybe some superhero action figures and transformers; because thats what stores are sublimally telling them to buy once they walk past the toy aisles. Joes are shelfwarming the pegs horribly since too many retailers thought it would be smart to order 100 + cases of the first two collections and disregard Waves 4 and 5.

The movie has been out of theaters since October and the DVD went on sale around November and stores still had plenty of the same exact characters on shelves. Now its April 2010 and the same stuff like the Alpha vehicles, figures ($5? really whose buying? ) and some exclusives are in the same spots at full-price. This is a turn-off for stores to order more Joes since its stock that may not sell at such a good rate. Without a cartoon to push PoC fully, I see us having the same problem we did last year by having some stores never order the later waves. This means we'll have to search Walmarts across DMV to get a Jungle Viper and Shadow Tracker which just isn't cool.

That's why I was surprised to see TRU restocked ROC figures. I mean, why? The POC stuff doesn't really float my boat, I'm not gonna rag on it but I don't see it any other way then I viewed VvV or Spy Troops. Some of it I'm sure will be cool and the Joe fan base will support it, but kids? Nah. I think it's kind of dead in the water even now.
