Something interesting I noticed about my Wave 5 vehicles box I got today and was wondering if anyone else noticed it from small Joes?
On the actuall Hasbro box mine has the following printed on the sides- wwwBigBadToyStore.com PO NUMBER: XXXX GI JOE VEHICLES WAVE 5- CASE OF 4 When I ordered the last wave of vehicles from the GI JOE club and when I saw them on the floor before they were put out at retail stores the Vehicle box read GI JOE 3 3/4 Vehicles Asst Wave 1 09 GI Joe I had figured that if these vehicles were going to show up in stores they would have been labled in a similar fashion to wave 1. For example it might have said- GI JOE 3 3/4 Vehicles Asst Wave 2 09 See the attached pics for a better comparison. So again my question is, is the box you guys got from Smalljoes similar and has Smalljoes.com printed on top instead of BBTS.com? Interesting none the least, could mean for now that these will not be showing up at retail as it has been stated they are online only. On a different note my artic hiss does not have a blue windshield is anyone eleses like that? Bah was hoping for a blue one :( Also Strato-viper is not strato-viper? Hes called Air Viper Commando...brilliant change Hasbro...more custom stands weee...must be why they cancelled it originally so they could rename him and put Strato-viper repaint in with the night-bird

I only know what I know from these forums so I am sure people here will agree with me when I say that it's been known for a while now that these will be online items only and will not show up in brick and mortar stores. Also, I have read that the large online sites like BBTS actually get allocated quantities special for them. So, I am curious to know if the older waves also had BBTS on the label at the same time they were being sold to places like Target and TRU.

Intersting point, anyone who got the water mocassains and skyhawks in wave 4 have any details on thier box from BBTS? If what sharky said is true then those boxes will be similar and that answers the overal question.

I spoke to the head of the toy dept. at a Target in Virginia today. They said they have seen the wave 5 vehicles listed in the newest listing the company news letter. They are doing a new restock over the next two weeks and expect to get them in.

They are running out of time to get these out at retail before ROC. I am highly skeptical they will show at retail anytime soon till maybe Christmas or later in the 3rd 4th quarter. Don't wanan confuse them kiddies...

it would make no sense for Target to get them now as they've put Joe stuff on clearance (everything except the Combat Heroes). They're going to get new product just to put it on clearance? That doesn't sound right. Unless they price it with the RoC toys...that would mean they'd be more expensive though.

And would give more reason to the fact they could continue with both lines uninterupted which I would be jumping up and down about...but that is not the reality we will soon have...
