Well the Customer Service rep I spoke with had pulled it up on her terminal at said they were slated for June release (mind you this is not a HTS.com rep). So I'm going to ignore the fact that you think the rep is ignorant.
But, you are correct, if the box says 'due not put out until July 11th' then we are still at the mercy of the retailers. The service rep was right about a June release. We have the M.A.R.S. 3 packs. |

Sorry...answering release date questions isn't really what customer service is there for, and we've heard PLENTY of stories about what "Customer Service" said that haven't panned out over the years. Didn't we just have one a few weeks/couple months ago claiming that a FLAGG must be in the works because a Hasbro Customer Service person said "It's marked as Top Secret in my system?"
Her terminal may very well have said "June" on it...but that could just as easily have been a shipping date and not a release date. Or it could have been for a specific product (Say, MARS Trooper 3-packs). There are a bazillion different possibilities for miscommunication or misinterpretation involved here. On top of all that, if the release date had been abolished/moved up...you would think that Hasbro would find a way to communicate that to the fans. They've been talking about "July 11th" for a while now. It's not like it's that hard for them to launch a quickie press-release to let folks know to start looking. I don't recall hearing anything about a story of a released Flagg (doesn't mean it didn't happen though). Guess we'll see. |

I'd be really excited, except I'm not all that interested in the first releases. Wake me up when the Wal-mart exclusive 2-packs are released.

I have not heard much from the Target workers I know. The only clue any one of them could give me is that they have nothing new in the store room.
We will see what shows up between now and July 11th.

If Hasbro has shown us anything in the past 6 months... it's that they really don't have any sort of good retail strategy with GI Joe.
Six months with nothing new on the shelves. Maybe that lightbulb finally went off over one of the execs heads and they realize that they could be making money sooner than 7/11/09. |
