i'll buy a crimson viper once a paycheck until i get 5 for my cg army display but still holding out on the ROC line in general for something compelling like the ROC snow serpent.
question though, at the rate these are peg warming, are you guys concerned that the well supplied first couple waves are going to make the next batch harder to find? it smells of the 25th reissue waves scenario to me where the germantown/gaithersburg/rockville stores overstocked the reissue waves blocking the restock of the newer waves.
i don't know when i'll be out at the stores again ( i don't go out much anymore) but if anyone has requests, i'll keep an eye out. it seems i got to walmart just after they restocked to find a bunch of the ones you guys are looking for.
fyi, my son wants rex. let me know if anyone see's him. so far the neo viper and rex are the only ones he has said he wanted. we both want the snake armor too.
My thoughts exactly, with the rate of sales on these action figures that are steadily warming shelves it will hold up shipments of the newer waves of vehicles, exclusives and figures. Everywhere I go is well stocked with the same figures each time. Simple fact of the matter, people in general have slowly stopped buying RoC merchandise. At least here in Maryland. I predicted this would happen on this board and some told me I was clueless and Hasbro knew what they were doing. WRONG!! They backed up an entire revamp of an already successful toy line in favor of another and the toys are now warming pegs after a month of initially being released.
Kids love things with a cartoon; for instance, Bakugan stuff is being sold like hotcakes, I even see some parents stealing Bakugan stuff with their kids right there. Damn shame. Movie merchandise goes stale after the novelty wears off.Hasbro knew this and still thought it was smart to go in guns o' blazing on retailers and now we're coming on a stand still of future product.
I have seen Rex Lewis well stocked, I mean crap loads of him at the TRU in Times Square last weekend. That TRU has plenty of each RoC character on various pegs and bins for the 2 for $10.99 sale. I've also seen Rex Lewis several times in the Columbia, MD shopping area on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
