The walmart I was in today had little tags behind the empty tags for joes that said they were ordered and would arrive 5/3/12.
Anyone have any ideas about what that means? Do you think it was for retaliation figures or 30th stuff? Does that mean i should look on that day 5/3 or maybe the next day 5/4? Or is there a scheduled release date for a later date than 5/3 that will keep them from being put on the shelves 5/3? EDIT ~ i went back to get a picture...

Well considering that one of the 7 Wal Marts by my house that happens to be store #1 isn't restocking until right around that time. I would say it will be Retaliation toys. The Wal Mart that is 2 miles from my house is still restocking as of 2 weeks ago. The downer is they have about 10 Firefly's and will not order any more for a while. I'm going to do a Wal Mart run to a couple of rule store's in the morning after work.

I have to admit I'm really excited for the Retaliation toy launch. The decos are not the best imo but I remember seeing the ROC toys at TRU, that huge wall of joe figures and it was thrilling.

I am excited to pick over the selection for my favorites. Just having Joes on the shelf again will be nice.

I have a vendor buddy and he told me that official street date isn't until 5/28. I also heard the same thing from another vendor who I am acquainted with. So, reading there's tags at Walmart saying 5/3 makes me super excited. I still check every opportunity I get. We shall see...

I gotta feeling as well as some of my tanker buddies here in Oregon we could see Joes by that time and like the rest of you I'm checking every chance I get. Happy hunting and Yo Joe!!

I missed out on the POC line "I know I'm a moron" so for the past month I've been collecting them. I'm missing Shadow Tracker, Jungle Bat, Low Light of coarse, and a few others. I just can't throw down 20 to 40 bucks on one Joe. Not when I have 10 Wal Mart super centers within 20 miles of my house in each direction, so I may never get those I'm missing. It's really depressing because I love the BAT figures and I want a Jungle BAT. Sad thing is my Wal Mart had all of these figures but I din't have extra money at the time. At one time I witnessed 5 or more Renagade Storm Shadows on the pegs... Sad

Well I struck out. It seems like there is only one Wal Mart by me out of 10 thats carrying Joes right now. I hope they decide to stock the Retaliation toys!! Living we're I do has the advantage of a large amount of Supercenters in a 20 mile radius. If anyone has trouble finding anything when the toys come out just MSG me I have no problems picking up stuff for fellow collectors.

There was a street date for the Episode I-themed Star Wars stuff that Hasbro apparently canceled but only Target read e-mails and put it out. Everyone else waited. Maybe it's a similar situation.
