Found the DG exclusives at just about every DG I stopped in it (3 of 5). The only reason these are hot right now is because everybody wants them, thinks that they are going to be "rare" and are willing to pay out the ass for them. Once it's confirmed that DG has done a re-stock on these guys the price and demand will go down.

So the Retaliation figures are being placed out on pegs a little earlier than expected. Please call each retailer in Maryland beforehand and ask if they have them available before wasting gas. Some places are placing the vehicles and ninja 3-packs out today like TRU, while others are not budging against that May 28th street date.
As for me, I think its worth waiting until June because I only need Joe Troopers and Red Ninjas from the first two waves which are only one each per case of twelve. Having an associate open a case for me just to get two figures out of the assortment is a waste. Additionally the price for these are $7.99 each so as long as stores are charging $9.99 for Joes its worth waiting for the price adjustment. As for Dollar General Joe figures, the more I see them the less I'm interested in getting them.

Picked up the W1 Joe retaliation figs today at WM; after seeing these in person, passed on all except Red Ninja and Joe Trooper.
Joe Trooper is just a bit above lame, his weapons stink and his orange shovel & cape just ruin the fig. The extra mohawk head is great for a custom dreadnok, but the paint app is just a bit too tan for most of the 'noks. The Red Ninja is pretty sweet, I suspect he'll be hard to find, and case packed only 1 per case. Zartan is lame. His knive is molded into the sheath. Can't get over that. Passed on Duke, CC, Storm Shadow, Cobra Trooper (just too hokey looking compared to Renegades, POC, or 30th), and Roadblock.. Did I miss out on the nugget saying Roadblock's hand has a molded / attached gun? WTF! That is soooooooooooo lame sauce.

hasbro needs to fire the entire marketing staff that okay'd this lameness. and the ceo should just honorably commit seppuku for not interdicting this idiocy. if you thought arctic destro was a peg warmer....lol.
yo joe just became NO Joe and cobraaaa a big Cobr-ungh they owe all of joefandom a public apology, seriously how do you fix a movie then totaly blow the toyline?! i know some glossy eyed hasbroke bannerman will tell me about my unreasonable expectations and sense of entitlement but please just save it and put a johnson or a 12 gauge in your mouth before you even get started; you know where the angry words belong, we've supported this shit too long to be dumped on like this! thankfully theres side show and arah on ebay. |

I'm worried about this line since the first two waves are filled with duds. I'll probably get a few Troopers and Red Ninjas but Waves 4-6 have Lady Jaye, Joe Colton, Blind Master, Black Dragon Ninja, Crimson Guard and Night Viper. I doubt these will ever get distributed to Target!

sporadically at best if the lame stuff clogs the pegs delaying new product (germantown area targets for example).
my parents were traveling in the Baltimore area and stopped at 2 DG, no joes to be found. i was shocked they even stopped. i mentioned them in passing last week.

I'm personally really disappointed in the movie line, but kinda ok in the break since ML is really heating up w/ some stellar offerings. I just started the later waves of Marvel Select, and they are just pure fantastic! Cannot believe the attention to detail and sculpting, they just look great. The Red Ninja is a good showing from Retaliation, as is the Ninja Showdown 3-pack (SE is about a C+ to a B-, Stormshadow a solid B-, and Slice is an A-).. I do like the new ball-joint in the foot, and I'm very happy the wrist articulation looks like it is here to stay.
