Should I stop wasting my gas for the meantime in checking for re-stocks for the blue resolute troopers in my local toy pits? I ask this because im not quite sure what Hasbro will be pumping out now. I think i read here somewhere that Hasbro will concentrate on ROC but, still bring out some of the latter 25th anniv stuff. But some say that it'll be ROC a hundred percent for at least the next year or so. What's the real deal?

all that Hasbro is making is ROC.
yes, you are wasting your gas looking for restocks of the 25th/ME line. Hasbro halted that a while ago. |

The 25th/ME was halted right around the beginning of the year.
It was done because the retailers wanted to clear the shelf space and have just the RoC product on the shelves for awhile.

There is a chance you'll see some of those last waves of 25th/Classics at some retailers, if they still have the product sitting in their warehouses or stuck in the supply chain somewhere. Anything brand new however will be branded as ROC product.
My TRU just restocked their 25th. Looks like they found a case somewhere. It was a case with Airbourne, Python Guard, Cobra trooper etc. From the looks of the cards, this case was crushed in a storeroom somewhere. They were all mangled. |

Aside from Toys R Us that seems to still have a 25th/ME section (leftovers with the occassional "found" case) I would not hope to find re-stocks. Save your time and gas as the internets would be your best bet.

Yeah closest you'll ever find to 25th is ROC repaints now. Mind you some of those repaints are better than the originals. Like Snow serpent and para-viper.

yeah your best bet to score 25th/ME figs is threw here on the tank or ebay. even BBTS and HTS should still have them.

Yeah, the only store still gettign 25th stuff is TRU, but that is because they have so much Wave 12 stock it is not even funny.

Come to Western NY, the Walmarts here have them in stockrooms several cases that they cannot put out due to space restrictions. What you are looking for is certainly here. |

Your best bet for 25th/ME figures at retail are discount stores like TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Ross, and even then you're likely to only find the first two DVD packs, and some TRU exclusive 3 and 5 packs
