My guess is the other mask will be a running change... I will be surprised if these are not out on the shelves by the end of the month locally... The Diamond Preview said they will in store around 4/28 and not for release until 5/28 but with no new Joe Product on the pegs retailers are going to want to break street date just to fill up those pegs. I will be very surprised if that date holds firm.

Getting to be more finds on the Retaliation figs'. Its back in Ohio and the store chain Meijers got 1-2 cases per store. Yep, these will be here anytime. Lord Norin,you have a Hasbro connection right? Maybe that connection can aide in shedding some light on the matter. Hopefully they will break street date. Damn!!! Fred Meyer is running their $4.99 sell on figs til the end of the month. If those figs hit soon we can get the figs for dirt cheap!!! Yo Joe guys'!!!

when I see Jason again I will try to get him to confirm an actual on sale date

Seeing the Retaliation figures starting to hit is somewhat exciting... I just wish this line looked better, some of the color choices just baffle me... but I guess they are really trying to target a younger audience... With all the cut backs, such as no real card art, no stands, lack of accessories and articulation with vehicle drivers... I wonder if Hasbro is planning something big for us Hardcore Joe fans after the Retaliation figures are done...

I thought I'd start up a conversation on Retaliation fixes. Let's all brainstorm on how to make some of these Retaliation figures better.

I could see Hasbro deliver the goods' after the movie. Look at the CH and the NV for starters. I can truly see them doing something along the lines of POC. I think a one really cool vehicle from the ARAH line around Christmas time would totally rock. I'm really excited to see which one of us finds the new figs' first. Lets just make sure to share wealth and post ASAP. Thanks Lord Norin. Jason may even know which stores have in stock or about ready to recieve the new product. The first fix IMO Dropkick would be to cut out a lot of the ninja stuff surrounding this movie. Seems everyone is a damned ninja lol. I think they should have kept the rolling tracks on the HISS and included the HISS driver.

i have a sneaky suspicion that the rolling treads from the POC Hiss Tanks will easily be able to be substituted for the non moving tracks on the new Hiss's. I picked up a cheap Crimson Hiss a while back just so I can try out that exchange when the newest Hiss comes out in a few months.

This could be possible! With Crimson Hiss tanks only $9.99 + an additional 10% off if you have a coupon from the paper, yeah now would be a good time to stock up on them!

I got 3 Crimson HISS tanks before my FM got wiped out. All thats left is 1/2 dozen CC from Renegades. Did you guys see the DPCI link for Target. You can do a check to see if any Targets in our area have on hand stock. We don't have a lick guys. I checked across the US and have not located anything. Its a cool link. I'm going to start contacting an old co worker of mine that is an asst. manager for FM and see whats going on. I have an aching feeling FM will be receiving movie stuff soon. I used to be the night crew freight manager and its getting to be about that time that at least the stuff should or damn close to reaching the Distribution Center. Yo Joe!!! I will let everyone know when I know.

Speaking of Crimson Hisstanks, I saw one last night at the TRU in Salem for $7.99. It was cheap because the figure had been stolen out of the box but if all you want is the tank....not a bad deal.

TRU also had a restock of Ren & 30th anniversary figs. Nothing special from the selection but if you need TR, Ren FF, a Cobra Trooper, Ren CC....like i said, nothing special except maybe the Cobra Trooper.
