So I got some clarification on this whole 'street date' thing at Target. Apparently the sticker on the case is from Target and NOT Hasbro, which is why some people have been able to buy them. If it was due to Hasbro, their computer system wouldn't allow them to ring it up.
The explanation I received for the date was so that they can setup an Endcap and don't want to run out before that particular reset. Ended up grabbing Red Ninja, Cobra Trooper, Cobra Commander and Joe Trooper, was told there was no Zartan in that case(I thought he was) at the Nashua NH, guy felt bad that I came all the way from Worcester MA. Didn't have the heart to tell him I came from 20 minutes down the road in Acton. Also, Dollar General in Nashua does not have any Joes. The lady asked if I was the guy from Maine who has been calling once or twice a week looking for them. |

I don't know Dollar General and how they work, but if the first wave sells well, I'd imagine they'd go for the 2nd wave. Though, I'm personally only interested in 2 or 3 figs from the first wave of those.

Here is the pic of the case. Is that a sticker? I can't really tell. It doesn't look like something Target put on there to me.

So, Zartan really is in the case? I feel slightly gypped, but oh well.
I didn't see the case, the guy didn't want to risk being seen on the floor with it. All I know that I was told was that somewhere on the case is marked something along the lines of 'don't sell or put out before the 28th'.

I was not able to find that out, it was a nice older lady I spoke to. She was sure they were getting them but not sure when.

Well she is doing it by sets don't think you want to pay $60 for 3 figs..lol (she has to make something for spending gas running around) When there are singles left the Cobra troopers are gone as well as Storm Shadow.

Someone else posted that in the initial thread about the figures being found in VA.
Like I told you, the Joe trooper is the only one that interests me. Maybe Zartan since he is clearly based on the Renegades design. I need more Renegades figures for the 25th/PoC/30th figures to kill.
