Sharky, They're out there, and the Time Crisis assortment sets are gearing up for domestic release through Walmart, Amazon, Sam's Club, Walmart dot com and other retailers, as stated the Gryphon has been available, us toys carried it for over 6 months, before selling out, a year ago, I've shown confirmed sightings for ocean state job lot, in its older release packaging, that's being sold now. You can order it from mr toys Toyworld who ships worldwide if you don't want to wait once they fix their product links ( mr toys is having a website update issue). Smyths sells it and can be shipped 3rd party. I get everyone wants an easier way, and Walmart, Amazon, Sam's Club and more are set to sell a wider range and selection this holiday season. We're gearing up for 2021, the 35th anniversary of the corps!

More retailers are signing up to carry more Lanard products so they'll be more readily available domestically in the coming months as we approach the holiday season and into 2021.

I agree with sharky. Unless I see them at walmart when passing and see nothing else I want and need to get something Ill buy them. These are not worth traveling to 20 ollies to find a 4 dollar figure. I think in two years I have heard that walmart is getting them, oh wait there was a error in walmart distribution and they should have them now,etc. I dont think walmart is getting them and I dont think other mainstream places are as well. These things have been talked up for so long you would think you could walk into any walmart, go to the toy section, see these and grab them. Not so. I think the only way you find them is if other places don't want them and sell them to a place like ollies and at ollies they only stay on the shelf for so long because no one wants them. They are ugly. Out of 10 figures maybe 2-3 look decent.

Multiple factors played into Walmart not carrying them for a single year. Not 2. Last year was the only year that Walmart passed on the corps! ( and they still carried a 4 way Assault gift st at Christmas) Even when Walmart does carry corps! products its limited by shelve space. Apparently no one understands how drastically the market shifted. You had Primal Clash in stores all the way till last fall, then Alien Collection hit. You say I've been off? I told this board 2 years ago Star Force was in development and here we are, Star Troopers hits International and now domestic retailers. The problem I'm seeing is that no one understands from development to retail varies. Some products were delayed because of covid, its not an excuse its fact! Or have you not noticed that virtually every single toy company is behind?
Mattel was backed up for months with everything from hot wheels, barbie, masters of the universe as well as its wrestling lines all were behind. Hasbro transformers, gijoe, star wars all were effectively behind and are only recently seeing proper distribution. It's not just a lanard problem, its virtually anything coming from overseas through normal shipping channels. I'd love for real toy stores to be across our nation, as that would fix the bulk of assortment issues and please at least 75% of even those who constantly are having to look in multiple retailers for a complete line. Ollie's was a reallocation from an international chain store, one that carried multiple lines from lanard. Amazon has Jurassic Clash, Walmart has Alien Collection, and top gun, plus Walmart dot com is about to have new products added for October from lanard as is Amazon and Sam's Club. I've a proven record on releases, I have no control how distribution does products but more products are going to more retailers for fall winter and even more for 2021. That's Fact. Expanded on this year's available products https://www.facebook.com/19430579392...9120595443620/

The fact of the matter is 80% of the vehicles and 95% of the figures are junk. There's some cool gems in there and are only worth getting at someplace like Walmart where the price is low enough to warrant getting them at all. Hasbro and Mattel have been delayed a bit, but they have been putting out new product all year. Every few months there's a new wave of stuff. They even got stuff in stores earlier than the expected release date. Oh yeah, and they HAVE release dates. Sometimes they are a late, sometimes on time, and sometimes early, but they tend to get them out there more or less when they say they are.
I picked up the entire Aliens line when it came out. Multiples in fact. The Marines are pure crap, but the aliens and vehicles are decent with a repaint. But, that was way in the beginning of the year or maybe even late last year IIRC. And, it'll probably be another year before we see anything new at this rate. So, maybe stop being such a big tease and just lay off the spammy posts that come off as marketing jargon. Come back to us when you have something substantial to report. Other people seem to do a way better job at telling us the news on upcoming GI Joe and Star Wars toys with good accuracy instead of a bunch of excuses and lip service. Also, most people just post the images and info right on the thread instead of making them go to their Facebook, Instagram, etc. I'm not going to click on them just to help you get more hits on your social media sites. I purposefully don't have accounts on any of that. I feel they are part of the problems in the world. Nothing good comes of it. Last edited by sharky; 09-13-2020 at 11:20 AM.. |

You're entitled to your opinion, As Lanard is aimed towards kids. Not just collectors.
What you consider "crap" or "junk" children around the world are happily buying. Not everyone is going to like everything. As for my social media it's not about clicks, its about information. And my information is solid. How products get released is beyond my control. I report as information is released, and I created this thread for the purpose of keeping those who like the products informed. I will continue to report as information comes in, my social media links are for those who want them. No one if forcing anyone to click anything. Expectations vs Reality Because so many casual fans don't understand the current state of retail, Lanard isn't the only company that has products that are delayed or not yet at widespread market. I bring this up as it needs to be explained to at least a few here. And Yes, Covid did play a small part in some delays as it did with virtually every product from overseas. Walmart had the corps and primal clash till right around September/October of last year and then cleared them out. As lanard was set to refresh the corps elite packaging with Time Crisis. Now here's the facts, Walmart opted to carry multiple lanard licensed lines instead. ( Jumanji, then Alien Collection) but did agree to carry the 4-way Assault set, and 2 multiple figure sets through Sam's Club) Prior to this the corps! Had NOT MISSED A YEAR. So what about the Gryphon, the rock, the sky strike and virtually everything you seen last year from smyths. It's simple, Walmart only allots x amount of shelf space PERIOD. Enter 2020 new year, new deals including New retailers! Walmart, Walmart dot com, Sam's Club. AMAZON, US TOYS, and several other retailers are carrying lanard products and an expanded collection of the corps! And star troopers. Sam's Club Ultimate Assault Battle Pack hit retail less than 2 weeks ago over 48 CONFIRMED SIGHTINGS! This set includes the Sky-Strike vs Komotto 2 Ultimate Collection action figure sets featuring 12 figures and 2 Adventure Vehicle each. AMAZON/WALMART DOT COM Jurassic Clash shared exclusives ( links are here on this page) Amazon Corps! 10 figure set online now! Walmart Alien Collection wave 1.5 gift sets ( ETA October). Maybe sooner. Wave 2 should arrive in time for the holidays or shortly thereafter. Walmart 4-Way Assault Set new for 2020 with 4 vehicles and 3 figures included. The Corps! Time Crisis - Multiple Retailers NOT JUST WALMART Star Troopers multiple retailers NOT JUST WALMART Now, I'm sure a few are going to ask about Willie and other new as seen in the comics products and such. There's multiple products in various stages of development. Some will hit retailers sooner than others. What about the rock fortress or Gryphon or other larger vehicles? Will Walmart be carrying more products? Yes, and No. Walmart stores will carry a variety, mainly small to medium sized sets. But Walmart dot com as well as other retailers will see various sets ranging in various sizes. Will Ollie's possibly get larger sets through this reallocation stock. Possibly ( as the products are still being shipped to the stores its possible). Does this Ollie's mean we won't get these same products from other retailers. No, this is just a reallocation. Do fans have any other way to get the corps and other lanard brands this year that isn't listed above? Yes! The Lanard annual warehouse sale. When is that? Typically it's the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas eve. But this year the date and hours are being adjusted because of the covid pandemic. Meaning the sale may begin sooner. You call my Intel into question you asked for the Gryphon and I delivered solid information, you asked for the Sky-Strike I've given solid information, you asked what's coming and when I have explained it, in For more info on all CORPS!

For those who've asked for the "Early Bird" capsule. Here's an Amazon link, bookmark it.
If you're a completists this is going to be a great piece to have, especially the story behind it. As this was the First official packaged Star Troopers vehicle, yes you know this, but what I told everyone 2 years ago was that Star Force would return, and Star Troopers is the continuation of S.T.A.R Force. If there's any doubt out there than this "Early Bird" will erase that doubt as I will show in the attachment Before the rebranding the line was going to be S.T.A.R Force, but You know how that ol saying goes " changes happen" Now all that's great, but what makes THIS more special than the other Star Troopers items that have come after? This is your bridge between the old and new, as Lanard has went full in with the Star Troopers and more items were greenlit, you'll see this version phase out and get "updated" so trust me, you'll want this one if you're a completist. This will be restocked, so bookmark it https://www.amazon.com/Distributors-.../dp/B07Z9NNFXH
