You can add Missouri. I saw a couple Snake Eyes and a Baroness. Still no vehicles, though.

I don’t know if there is a mix up in walmart computers or brickseek, but all my stores have said 4-5 hisses and no awe strikers on brickseek. Well I went in one last night and there were no hisses and 3 strikers. Great for me because I needed the awe.

Picked up an Awe Striker this morning at the Decatur Walmart. Pulled right out of the case.

I went into a walmart to get some groceries and decided to ask a toy stocker if they had any GI JOE stuff. He said he has 3 or 4 people asking him every few days. Since they had just set the new modular display, I asked him to scan the retro figures barcode to see if there are any in stock. To his surprise he said he showed there were some in the back. I waited for about 10 minutes and
he comes out with a giant box. It ended up being the end cap display of Wave 1! He open it and it had 3 wave 1 assortments. He said he had to remove them from the display box and put them on the new modular display. I bought the figures I needed and he gave me the end cap display box since he could not use it. I wonder if these had been sitting in the back for months because the toy manager did not have a place to put them? Maybe Hasbro is shipping more end caps and wave 1 now because the cv19 virus delayed distribution? |

It just occurred to me today as I was clipping and saving some new file cards for the G.I. Joe Retro line that these are of different sizes.
The vehicle driver file cards are much closer to the 25th Anniversary file cards of the modern collections, and the single carded figures come with one slightly larger for some reason. When I listened to Cecil Cates with Hasbro branding talk about the new packaging during the recent Hasbro Pulse Con, I don’t remember him mentioning that, nor do I remember that being mentioned during any recent reviews of these toys. No big deal, I guess, but it just seems a little odd that all the file cards for this Walmart G.I. Joe Retro line wouldn't be of the same size.

It came shipped assembled with all the figures on the pegs. I think this explains why so many people posted pictures of wave 1 cards with torn punch holes cause by rough shipping.

Just a reminder that if anyone has a spare HISS Tank driver they're not needing, I'll be more than happy to buy it off you.

Managed to find Retro wave 2 on pegs this weekend- all cards rolled and some rolled so hard that the bubbles were coming loose from the card. I picked up all three but plan to keep the rolled carded versions as openers, as I have them coming on pristine cards either from Ebay or a collector buddy. Finding wave 2 was all the more strange because we never had wave 1 where I'm at. Looks like whatever went on with wave 1 is getting corrected for wave 2. Fortunately (unlike with the Mattel Masters Origins roll out) Joe product appears to be moving briskly. I've seen a few HISS lingering for whatever reason, but figures and the AWE move quickly. The poor Masters product lingers like crazy here and I can't help but feel like Mattel has shot themselves in the face (again) by overstocking shelves for a line that kids have no connection to. But I disgress.... |
