The warehouse event is so stupid. I ultimately save more time and money going on ebay and dealing with the the ridiculous shipping prices from the UK and wait 3 months for it to show up than spend a weekend driving/flying out to the warehouse.

Before I get comments about how Whispering Willie was "supposed to be out already"
The First Corps! Universe Assortment was adjusted to allow the New body styled figures time to go through the necessary revisions, the pictured Whispering Willie prototype from before has been improved, Including more paint apps and additional weaponry. Whispering Willie will be arriving in an upcoming assortment, and he's bringing a few friends of his own! There are several all-new Characters that will be arriving as well, On the YouTube Channel's Community page we'll be updating some very important retailer information, I'll still pop into the various forums from time to time to keep fans and collectors informed. As for The comments about getting an Amazon store, Don't think for a second that no one is listening, I appreciate everyone's commentary and constructive criticism, Now without any further chin-wagging, here's The Bio-Tag Dossier for Whispering Willie!

The prototype was indeed shown, and if you read above there were several reasons why the figures were delayed, a main reason was revisions to the upcoming assortment schedules. This Whispering Willie will include additional paint apps and weaponry. And he won't be arriving alone! Several old friends and all new allies to the teams will join the battle, the upcoming figures are improvements to the prototype images that were previously shown.
I think that should clear up any confusion. For more info on all CORPS! Products https://linktr.ee/TheCorpsUniverse

I know we give you a lot of crap Walt, but I will legitimately buy Whispering Willy when he comes out. Please release him in the US outside of just the worehouse sale or at least make him available online (also I?m pretty sure it?s been at least two years since his announcement)

Yesterday I was at one of my local Walmarts and saw the repainted Predators and Aliens. It is a pity that there's nothing else from Lanard... Walter did mentioned is a post two pages back that there were two numbers (SKUs?) to look for, but they were Star Troopers. It is as if the Corps are dead as a brand, but really, there has to be more to it than that.
Two things I notice... First, and this is not a jibe to Hasbro, but to the stores, why in the world does Walgreens, Dollar General and other "cheap" toy selling stores are carrying those bad 9.5 or 6 inches statues that only has 3 points of articulation, instead of comparatively better Lanard figures? The second thing is that the preferred brand for cheap military toys is Chap Mei (I have nothing against Chap Mei either). Sams Club, Dollar General, Family Dollar and Big Lots all carried Soldier Force last year during Christmas and look headed to do the same this year. The conclusion could be that Lanard is not making enough of the Corps toys for stores to buy, or that Lanard is trying to sell more expensively than the Hasbro statues and Chap Mei. Because honestly, while there are some jewels in Chap Mei vehicles and some of the older figures, when it comes to "cheap military toys" I think The Corps are better. One more thing I notice is that "cheap military toys" don't die. They are always alive somehow. Walmart's Kid Connection brand always have some military toy, based on Chap Mei molds. Target had a couple of years back Hero Force, also Chap Mei. Marshalls/TJ Maxx carry U.S. Army military toys, which ALSO are Chap Mei. Family Dollar keeps bringing Chap Mei Soldier Force single carded figures. Dollar Tree sold until a year or so "Military Action Figures" which AGAIN, where Chap Mei molds. Big Lots have sold Elite Force and Soldier Force, and seems to still be selling it at least online. Dollar General brought Soldier Force playsets for Christmas last year, not sure if it is doing it this year but I think so. And yet, where did we see the Corps? Only at Go Calendar, at outrageous prices. The Corps seem to be dead, even if we got all this promotional pictures, which in all honesty, I would buy a number of vehicles if the assortment is ever out. But NO retailer buy Corps (except Go Calendar last year). I repeat, NO RETAILER buy Corps. Walmart and Amazon brings in the Jurassic/Primal Clash stuff, Walmart seems to be bringing in some Star Troopers assortments, Walmart brings in the Predator/Alien series, BUT NOT THE CORPS. And yes, I know Walt will chime in and say "but the Four Way Assault something something!", "but the Ultimate something something multi-figure pack!" which Walmart, Macys and Amazon seem to be carrying, but to that I say, no, that's not it. Corps is alive if we can find single carded or two-packs, and vehicles to buy by themselves. Assortments of items to buy, not a pack with a lot of things. I know Lanard liked these kind of packs in the past, because I saw them on the local department stores where I went as a kid to buy with my mother. And you could see a 6 figure pack, even a 24 figure pack, but there were also a two pack, a single carded, a couple of vehicles and lots of more for the Corps. And also for the Star Force and even the construction Corps. That is what I mean by alive. A multipack is not alive. It is like a one-time Christmas gift pack for kids... not a line you can buy year long. What is going on with the Corps? Seriously. Last edited by zorman; 11-11-2022 at 02:02 PM.. |
