Correction,..ask them "how is it possible that hasbro is in RI, yet we are the one state that has no freakin toys?"

DG may have been the only store interested in purchasing them. Hasbro probably offered it to others, but they may have passed. Time will tell.

As far as JoeCon extras, I would only want the figures/vehicles related to the theme (for example no Mickey Mouse CC or carded Dial Tone last year). No carded Footloose here.

Dedham TRU has one Retaliation Ghost Hawk 2, and one Retaliation Hiss Tank as of 2:15pm today. Both are $21.99. Been hearing nothing but complaints about both and I'm not particularly fond of either, so I left them behind.

Yeah, really not hearing anything good. I hear the same "everything feels cheaper" complaint over and over. Looks like I'll just be grabbing some figures as usual.

And that '70s articulation on the drivers is just icing on the cake!

You nailed it! ...and to think, if you'd told me last year while I was opening my POC Lowlight and 30th anniversary Storm Shadow, that in 2012 Hasbro would be selling joes with articulation virtually tantamount to my 1978 Blue Snaggletooth, I would have keeled over laughing.

Sadly, this has come true indeed.

I saw the bigger Retaliation guys at TRU in Peabody today. The talking ones, Rock and SE. I guess this means that location may not be honoring the street date.

No, my TRU in Dedham has had those since last Friday as well, I just didn't report about them because I doubt anyone here is actually looking for those.

I'm going to army build the hell out of those pieces of crap.
