G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra toys have been released in England! HISS Tank.com boards member TheLongestDay found the movie toys at his local Toys ‘R’ Us! The toys come in slightly different, multi-language packaging, and shortened toy descriptions.
This is the first time in years that G.I. Joe toys have been available at mass market retail in England. Click on the title bar to see more, and happy hunting!

Hey guys and gals!!!
Anyone here who knows me knows that Ive been waiting for this day a LONG time! lol
I got to my local TRU today (Poole,Dorset,South west England) and to my pure joy they had joes on the pegs...a sight Ive not seen in years!!
*Note of interest for collectors* (you guys probably already know this) is that the packaging in different than the US,as with most European packaging it has many different languages and to fit them all in,the descriptions are shortened considerably.
I picked up Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow...but at £8 (bout $15) a pop it does sting a bit...
But its just great to see Joes on the pegs again!
P.S.They had tons of boxes of Wave 1

Hey fellow Brits, i live south London, But went to Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, and saw the same thing, they had every figure from wave 1 and all the vehicle apart from one of the big tanks...? and the Pit.
All was overly priced although i did expect them to be more expensive. I spent £40 and boght only baddies:
Baroness (in my eyes, one of the best gi joe figures ever made)
Zartan ( Very cool)
Storm Shadow (Not great, although great character)
One of the Vipers ( the other one's mask isnt moulded very well)
Destro ( cool, although the mask is nothing as all like the picture. And they chould have done the metal maske the same way they did Baroness's outfit (shiney))
