I've just got to say... the 30th anniversary / renegades line is about the most fun I've ever had collecting Joes. Each and every one of them is outstanding. I even just bough my first troop building in years - I got an extra of the Renegades Cobra Security Officer.
Build off this momentum, Hasbro. The movie line is gonna rock if you do! |

I'm a say nope. Distribution sucks, so those awesome 11 figure(wave 3 & 4) are no where to be found. They also look like they'll never be properly stocked since wave 2 is chilling on the pegs collecting dust, but I don't wanna shit on your thread. Glad you happy and everyone else who's gotten there fill.

The figures are great, but A.C.T. is right. The distro sucks. Not being able to find what you're looking for is not fun. Not to mention the briefness of the lines have us preparing for cancelation before the first wave comes out. With the 25 we had about two and a half years of continuous waves with a lot of great stuff in there. Not all 25th figures were easy to find, but there was so much stuff to keep us busy. That was imo the best time to be a GI Joe collector, not the 30th.

I think the product is some of the best ever but as mentioned above distribution kills the fun for most.

It stinks that the PoC General Hawk, Temple Snake Eyes, and Crazylegs wave never made it in my area. Only the 30th series has been distributed.

Couldn't tell ya, Canada is not scheduled to see 30th(wave 1 ?) until 2012.
Even then we normally get big gaps in between waves and certain waves never show up. For example, imagine if waves 2 and 3 were never released at retail in the USA, well here that's normal. I have some figs on the way from Kokomo toys though

My most fun ever was back in the 80's when I had the wonder of a kid and actually had toy shops to visit. I consider the modern figures better than the originals in so many ways, but as an adult I don't have the fun anymore.

I was hoping to see the figs on the pegs to get that little feeling in your tummy when you buy them, but I've resorted to ordering wave 3 online with a extra TV & CT Renegades. I'm happy I'm getting them but feel gipped in having to wait soooo long. I don't feel so bad after reading TTT post. Man that must suck, I feel for ya.

I agree - distribution does suck. Or, why did Hasbro wait until the week of Christmas to get them out? These should have been out by end of October... then they would have had plenty of time on the shelves for Black Friday, Christmas buying, restocking, etc. Now, with how things have gone in the past, the prime time is past us... and we will have to wait until Late May for the movie figures.
Will waves 3 and 4 end up like the Kamakura wave? I never did get him... :( |
