Pretty sure the Elite Viper head being an ROC property and thus under what Paramount gets a piece of ($$$$) ... and also what might have contributed to these sets getting canceled (like all other movie head sculpts)... assuming it wasn't just Target saying 'no.' So I think other than the ROC emblems and box art... the Elite Viper head also suggests that Hasbro would not make any more if they have to put anything in Paramount's pocket. Now they could probably just toss a new head on Elite Viper and change the box art and logos... but all of that still costs money and I doubt Ross would be their first choice considering that these sets are being sold cheaper than some single figures. Although maybe they wouldn't have a choice a la Black HISS. hehehehheh.

if their agreement with Paramount was similar to any standard licensing agreement, Hasbro pays Paramount the royalty owed when they sell the product, so they still owed Paramount their percentage whether they sold it to Target or Ross. percentage wise, Hasbro's margin was the same because the royalty paid would be the same, they just sold it for less and thus the royalty as a whole was less when bought by Ross.
So if they made more... do you think they'd have to cough up $$$$ to Paramount?

I don't have the early sets, but I did kept an eye on the date stamps on the Ross ones and there were two different date stamps. I forgot what was the other date stamp number, but the ones I got were all 92991 through.

i talked to a manager who said they are getting trucks in everyday but that not every ross store gets the same stuff(which so far is not true because up here everything that has showed up out west has made it here)they also said that ross/marshalls and tjmaxx bid on all this stuff from walmart and target,i found that interesting
