Do you guys think we will see store exclusives with a wide release eventually? Its pretty cruddy that Grunt is an exclusive and comes with two other figures. One, I will never find him at retail, and 2 I don't want the other two figures. It would be nice to see Grand Slam and Grunt on single cards.

what do you mean by wide release? If they are "exclusives" they will usually be exclusive to a particular place and thats it.

Well Hasbro has made their Star Wars Exclusive fig's, available in mass retail and so far they've been using the same formula in the Joe line, so I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Exclusive's were somehow made available in general release.

Nah. This is Hasbro. Just cuz its one place as an exclusive doesn't mean we wont see it again. It may have a different or slightly different paint scheme. But it'll be back. Might even be back looking exactly the same just in new packaging. Don't believe me? Examples: Target exclusive Tie Fighter. Now its an exclusive Toys R Us item. Star Wars Shadow Stormtrooper was exclusive to SDCC. now in the Saga Legends line (avail. everywhere), Target exclusive Covert Ops Clone Trooper now avail via Saga Legends line. Entertainment Earth Crimson Empire Royal Guard 2pack, now found everywhere in a comic pack. See my point. Exclusives mean nothing nowadays. Thats why I don't get caught up in the anxiety of the exclusive collecting. Even DOC will be back in some form or another.

Hasbro has to make the most of every mold they produce. With that being said........grunt wasnt made of anything new. So I wouldnt be suprised to seem him in some other set soon enough.
