Hey all,
I am anxiously awaiting the second wave of the Renegades line to hit shelves here in Wisconsin to land the new Storm Shadow and Zombie Viper and I have been watching them on ebay. The Storm Shadow is going for ridiculous prices up to 40.00! I feel this is extremely high for a figure that hasn't even hit shelves across the country yet. Is this figure short packed by any chance, or is this just collectors being impatient? Because there has been quite a few of them sold already so I feel its unlikely that this figure is rare when the newest line hasnt even hit stores yet. Any thoughts? |

Hi welcome to the tank, there are a lot of good and not so good threads on renegades storm shadow. He was released in wave 3 but Hasbro only shipped one per case, supply was decent for him depending on where you lived, not everywhere from what I have heard on the Tank, and of course there was online but after Christmas he has become very elusive and hard to find. Collectors are buying them up anywhere they are found and because of all the hype and intrest generated collectors are hoarding them and if selling them at really high prices. Usually after Christmas, Hasbro slows down production of toys also so that dosent help either. Plus they are probably gearing up for the movie figs. You asked if ss is rare right now well finding one online other then ebay is very hard to do, Hasbro was selling them online and that ended pretty quick and good luck finding one in the wild (retail) hope this answers some of your question if not other tankers might chime in also like I said there are tons of threads on this

Thanks for the input. Ya, here in the mid-west we kinda get the shaft for new toys. We definitely didn't get any of the newest wave before Christmas that's for sure, as I checked frequently. I'll keep at it and hope to land one once that line finally hits this area since I want both the zombie viper and ss. I also feel that this will be the last line thats released before the movie figures so I am still somewhat confident I will find it in the wild. I cant justify spending that kind of money on a non-vintage figure, hell you could almost get ss v2 1988 moc for 49.99! To me that would be a way better investment since this figure will come down once it hits more shelves across the country. Thanks for your thoughts and I didnt mean to add another post on this figure since I didnt see all the previous ones. But I think to solve all these issues would be for Toys R Us to offer preorder service just like gamestop does or universal release dates like Star Wars Phantom Menace did back in the day. These are just my thoughts, but I think it would reduce poaching and make the hobby wayyy more user friendly. Any thoughts???

If anybody is still looking for this, there may be some hope.
I was just looking on BBTS and they re-listed the wave 3 cases and sets. They are pre-orders that aren't expected to be filled until February, but if you still need one you can order now. Atleast we know there are still some out there! GI Joe 2012 Series 03 - Set of 6 - Renegades - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe 3.75" Figures GI Joe 2012 Series 03 - Case of 12 - Renegades - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe 3.75" Figures
