Checked Ollies again today. They only had a few of the Corps 2 packs left. No new product put out since the holidays sadly.

Managed to grab a cool small Transformers Cobra Robot called Slitherfang for 4 bucks and another McFarlane battlesnake for a customs project so not a waste of a trip at least.

Really like the little transforming cobra robot its about the same size length wise as ME Gi Joe, it comes up to about the waste of one when in snake form and looks like something Cobra would have around as mobile security. It turns into a treaded flat topped vehicle that looks like it could be used to move stuff around a cobra base or packed flat for storage. I'm giving it to my techno viper since its purple too.

Has anyone seen the the corps universe switch blade? (The gryphon reskin) on shelves? Im here in Australia, and see it online anywhere and have only seen it at a single store tk maxx known for discounted toys, as quick sale of items is their game.
Spewing i didnt grab it then and there but im actually trying to get my hands on three, i stashed it in hope to buy it without my partner present, but it was found and sold by the time i got back . All the other online stores are stocking almost all of the 2022 line up, in some cases and i grabed a sky striker for my son, which im yet to take out of the shipping box.

In sheer desperation i paid way to much thanks yo international shipping for the original version second on ebay just recently. These drone like designs i intend to use in a custom aircraft carrier project im going to work on throughout the year. Along with some tru hero knockoff mold repaint a22 raptors i recently got

So my question is had the switch blade landed early in this one store, or has it landed late?

The Switchblade, Badlander, and Curse Harrier Hawk have not been released yet. They'll join the assortment this spring. Everything else has been released for Q1 sales. And is shipping for global release.

If you seen one early then it was probably the gryphon, not the switchblade, The only one-off to be released early was the NIGHTWING rescue copter.

You had a chance to buy an international only vehicle and blew it.

Setting the record straight The Corps! Universe, Primal Clash and Star Troopers are all GLOBAL releases, Australia only just got their order and that's due to the shipping schedule. Domestic products are slowly getting to online retailers and your brick and mortar retailers.

Before anyone gets on here and starts a Walmart only rant, Walmart delayed and due to their backlog cancelled their Q4 order which went to Ollie's. That order included the Bio Tek two packs, the First Response assortment, strike vehicle assortment which was the extent of their Q4 order. Walmart dot com along with multiple e retailers did participate in several shared exclusives. Walmart backlogs were responsible for the alien and predator second series sets to be offered late at many locations, those sets are now at end of contract and are being clearanced. An all new lanard licensed line will be offered in store. Star Troopers wave 2 global wave 1 planetary Explorers and Planetary Defense sets are hitting Walmart shelves currently, these are not wave 1.5 sets that were offered through a separate liquidation again due to domestic retailer backlog. This has lead to a serious marketing strategy to bring direct sales to the domestic market, there will still be multiple e retailers participating and select products offered through Walmart and its subsidiaries.

I cant access ollies website due to geolocation.
Im scouring other stores to get my hands on one, as the stock in these stores moves quick.

Mrtoys.com.au stocks the majority of the line up but not everything yet, so im somewhat relieved it was early to market stock release rather missing the opportunity entirely
