I already texted a few of you guys about this, but I figured I'd share my findings during my lunchbreak today: I hit Dedham TRU (as I do every day) and brought with me one of the cardboard package inserts with the UPC on it from a Joe Trooper that I bought at Target last week. There was nothing on the pegs, but I scanned it at the self-scanner and it popped up as "GIJOE movie figure, $10.99". I then had a guy scan it with his PDA, which said there was one case in the back. He got it for me and sure enough (like all the other reports from today mostly at TRUs) there was a blue cobra commander, and a blue-caped joe trooper inside, much different than the cases I've been opening at Targets. All the rest were in the case too. I had been expecting the 2 "blue variants" (CC & Joe Trooper) to be a part of wave 2, but something has been switched up here and it looks as though it's a running change that may or may not be limited to Wave 1 case assortments.
The contents of the TRU case that I opened myself today were as follows: 2x Roadblock 2x Snake Eyes 2x Storm Shadow 1x Duke 1x Cobra Commander (blue outfit) 1x Zartan 1x Joe Trooper (blue cape) 1x Red Ninja 1x Cobra Trooper

So....we won't be having figures for Joes for over a year or shall they start passing the DG's to regular retail?

I hope the DG Joes hit Five-Below. At $6 a figure, selling them for $5 can't be too much of a hassle and areas with no DG would finally get them (us).

I don't expect those "Dollar Store" figures at Five Below just yet. I'd look out at Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, etc, especially if we're truly getting those variants. 5below is more like a close out store, buying up merch from companies that have excessive, older inventory. Hence seeing Star Wars AOTC figures, Tron, later wave 25th and the like.
I hit the Coventry Walmart hoping for some good clearance items - it seems to be the only WM that actually clearances items quickly. I knew they wouldn't have Joes and I was right. I grabbed the Walmart exclusive Star Wars TPM Droid pack for $15. I'm looking for a Black CC, Red Ninja, Brown cape Joe Trooper, and Zartan. I haven't done much hunting beyond the Warwick TRU and some Walmarts. If anyone comes across them, think of me. |
