They didn't have anything I had already bought the one green Shipwreck they had on Wednesday. I'm working right by the mall in Colonial Heights so I should be able to stop in regularly and being self employed I don't have to wait for my lunch break

Well isn't that...special. What do you do? I thought your job was following delivery trucks around.

You should try not to think, you are obviously not very good at it , what with your outdated reference of a 1993 SNL character. I actually found the green Shippy when I was looking for clearances on the Sky Strikers, but there were none to be found and since the last time I was in that store , sometime before christmas they had about 10 or more Sky Strikers on the back wall, it leads me to believe there must be other people buying GI Joe toys around here besides you and I.

Yikes dude, I was just making a joke that you always seem to be the first one posting about buying all the Joe stuff around here. We're all just grown men who buy toys, no need to be rude! Also, the churchlady will always be funny.
Back to the task at hand, I haven't seen any Joe stuff around Richmond or Petersburg, but I'm looking forward to Retaliation wave 2, DG wave 2, and maybe some of those micro dudes just for funsies. |

I checked Manassas this morning, nothing there yet either. In the main thread people have been finding one figure per store (ie: not a whole case) so hopefully this is a "test" of sorts and once the movie's out they'll get tons of them.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

In addition to that, Hasbro seems to know we want them (the repaints) so they seem to have bumped up the "wave 2" guys earlier than they might have otherwise. If this line is really meant to be a "b-list store line" for the next year, It wouldn't surprise me for them to go back to the "wave 1" colors around Christmas, or possibly a 3rd color scheme.

If these do well, we might get 6 new figs next spring (2014) then recolors that fall, or something like that. I'd also expect the current ones to make it to all the usual suspected eventually (Ross, TJX, Dollar General, Ollies, Big Lots, etc). They wouldn't make these in low quantities for one or two stores, they want to have a ongoing "budget line" like those 5 PoA marvel figs and the TF legends repaints. |
