Does anyone have an actual release date for Pursuit of Cobra? I need to know so I can be there on the first day. I'm not a scalper I assure you, just an avid collector who's slightly worried about scalpers.

Whaddya mean, when? Dude, you missed it. PoC is over. We are waiting on Renegades stuff now!
Just kidding. That's my way of saying IDK. I don't think there is any hard date set.

There is not a "set" release date for Pursuit of Cobra as far as I can tell. It's supposed to be out by the first week of August (when pretty much all retailers will be doing the "fall reset" which will also include the new Star Wars and Transformers items), but stores can put it out ahead of that time if they get it in and have the shelf space for it. As far as I know the only item that has a "hard" street date right now is the Star Wars "Vintage" collection figures.
So basically, expect it to start trickling out over the next month, and become much more common after the first week in August. As with most releases, your mileage may vary depending on how diligent your local stores are with resets and the like (My local TRU and Targets tend to reset a week or more later than the rest of the country for some reason). Likewise, even when items don't have a solid street date, some stores will refuse to put them out or even sell them until a particular date anyway (usually because they want to have product to put on the shelves when the do the reset, not reset to a bunch of empty pegs because drooling collectors bought them all straight out of the back two weeks prior). I've run into that at both TRU and Target ("This item is for an endcap next week, can't sell it until then"). |

Yesterday I made it to TRU and they had some of the CW and legacy collection in the new packaging out. Unfortunately for me, no Pre Vizsla. But they didn't have the vintage stuff or any PoC stuff. I'll probably check again this coming weekend.
