I have a question about the availability of some ROC figures that I purchased in Tampa Florida last Monday (7/6) at a local Target.
There was a Target toy manager putting the figures out. She was bringing them out one at a time (not in cases) and was talking to me as I was looking at the new ROC figures. She told me about her son being a collector and that she was putting out all she had to put out from the back room. In those figures I bought several (about 8). But some were never to be seen again. I bought: Cobra Eel Cobra Elite Viper (among the many I bought) Both of these figures are so cool and much nicer than that Ninja-turtle viper. I did not see Flash, Crimson Neo-viper, Pit Commando or Helix. However, I did pass on General Hawk, accellerator suit Duke & accellerator suit Wayans. Can anyone elaborate on why this particular assortment appears to be non-locatable? Is it just early yet to get them? I have seen TONS of the rest all over the place but not any at all on these again. I have been looking on the boards and not seeing any info on this. I am hoping someone can clarify this for me. DD

I am interested in what you find out. I am looking for the same figures myself.

I think it is probably just early on. These'll be around.

The HAWK figure looked so much like FLINT that I was disappointed and passed on it. I'm sure they will eventually be out. However, I am wishing I would have bought it now. That store does not have any more.

Hey, for the right price I'll part with either my eel or elite viper. haha. I can tell you they are both wicked-awesome. Probably two of the better figures in the whole ROC line (maybe next to Destro).

Those figures are in the wave 3 of collection 1 and haven't hit the stores in mass yet. I suspect they will be around when TRU goes into their big front store display and the movie draws closer.
Thus far wave 3 of collection 1 and collection 2 havent been spotted. Well C1, W3 has been but not a ton yet.

These figures are just hitting the stores . Some stores are getting different quantities/waves etc. I know we all have the bug for new stuff but as the days/weeks pass I am sure the stores will be flooded with merch. Yeah, there will be plenty of pegwarmers, but there will be plenty of product for everyone. The movie hasn't even been released yet.

haha... yeah. She was playing coy like she didn't know anything about which figures were what. But that doesn't explain the need to bring out figures 3 at a time.
