youbastards Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 No luck finding the Dollar General Joes, 2 stores I checked had gotten them in but were sold out already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm actually doing resets at DGs the past and next few weeks. I've seen several. If you want I know for sure I can get them. I only picked up SE and SS for myself cause that's all the cash I had on me at the time. Absolutely, TM2! Any help you can offer is appreciated!

battlecat Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Re: movie toys, it looks like Hasbro are having stores release that first shipment they already received, but holding back everything else until next year.

hellpop Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 And, of course, since they have nothing else ready, this is going to basically be it for GI Joe for the year. Man, what a dumb decision. Why didn't they have the film ready for 3-d all along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 "all types of early screening reports about the quality of G.I. JOE: RETALIATION, which have ranged from "nonsensical" to "worse than RISE OF COBRA"" "Paramount now seeing Channing Tatum as more of an asset" "rumbling of reshoots that would call for more Tatum in the movie. The G.I. JOE RETALIATION we see nine months from now may only vaguely resemble the one we would have gotten one month from now." Forget were those are from.

karamazov80 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Damn. Seemed to have a lot of promise based on the trailers. But trailers are one thing. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wave 1 is hitting, TRU had a BOGO sale, and Hasbro ordered a full recall on all GI Joe products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Saw them at Target. Almost picked up the awesome all-black Cobra Commander and Zartan (both shortpacked BTW) but i already have "my" CC in Renegades, and Zartan's stupid lightpiped heads kill him for me. I might go back for them but i dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I picked up the whole wave, not bad but I prefer more in the vein of the 25th/30th anniversary vein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I tried to get a con set tonight and was told my card wouldn't work and to call the club during normal hours tomorrow to work it out. Later, I got an e-mail saying to try it again and they were already sold out. I've saved for weeks and sold some stuff to be ready for when the set went on sale and no I'm out of luck because I followed what i was prompted to do and they didn't anticipate how well their own set would sell. I'm definitely swiiching to the camp that can't believe what a joke the club has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 That really sucks, sorry to hear that GH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I actually decided to reply to Brian Savage's e-mail saying to try again and he got back with me and said I'd be on a waiting list. The fact that he replied pretty quickly did smooth it over a little (he's already shown they've got higher standards than Shocker Toys), but I'm not sure how long I'm supposed to wait holding $365.

Jatta Pake Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Managed to score Slice tonight! I actually decided to reply to Brian Savage's e-mail saying to try again and he got back with me and said I'd be on a waiting list. The fact that he replied pretty quickly did smooth it over a little (he's already shown they've got higher standards than Shocker Toys), but I'm not sure how long I'm supposed to wait holding $365. I think I'm stuck resorting to eBay. I managed to get the past sets for just under $500 each so I'm hopeful I can get my hands on these too.

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Walked into TRU and they had exactly 3 figures left. One was the Ninja show down, which I was there for anyways. They're still having a BOGO sale this week if you can find them, but they're not honoring a lot of Joe and Avengers merch because it wasn't scaned into the system properly.

groundhog7s Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just found a set of the new repaints at Dollar General. Not only was I surpised to find all of them out, but they were marked $3.50 so I got them cheaper also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wug@10mfH Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Does anyone know if these will be at other discount-type places? We have a Family Dollar and Big Lots around here that get the same sort of items. The nearest Dollar General is way out of my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 No one knew these were coming, and as far as official reports go, they are Dollar General exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wug@10mfH Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Bah. I was just perusing the HISS Tank forums and people are hoping they will show up at Family Dollar, but no confirmed reports as of yet. According to the thread someone in my state asked a manager at Dollar General about them and they have not (yet) made it here. I won't pay Ebay prices for them, but I'd pick up another Cobra Commander or Snake Eyes for 6 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 And to finish my week of nice toy scores, I picked up a Joe Skystriker jet at Target tonight marked down to $10.48. I'm sure it'll get packed in a box with all of the other vehicles I've picked up, but it was hard to pass up at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 :/ My Target has been Joe Dead for almost a year. I don't even look any more. Maybe I should... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 So I just got back from Joe Con. The bottom line is this: What's out is out. There won't be any restocks till March or May (I can't remember which) That means it will have been almost 3 years without a steady flow of Joes. But hey, they keep telling us GI Joes will benefit because Michael Bay is an asshole rolling in money making another Transformers movie.

groundhog7s Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I didn't realize you were going Sam. Did you pick up the OG set? That news is extremely sad. I saw some of the pics of upcoming movie figs and I think most could easily pass for regular Joe figures-why not just keep selling them? Well, it's nice to know that their big plans for the 30th anniversary were extremely pathetic. I appreciate the few 25th style figures they made, but there just weren't enough. Just the fact that the con set pre-sold out (for the first time ever) should be a sign collectors want that style of figure and that Hasbro isn't listening.

Punisher Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That whole concept showcase really pissed me off. "Here's a bunch of stuff you'll never get because....ummm.....well....we don't feel like it" On the plus side, really looking forward to that "Ultimate Snake Eyes". We already have the perfect commando look, and this is now a perfect ninja version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah, I went. It was kinda of a last minute thing. I spent 10 hours in the car today. Hasbro guys were very definitely public enemy #1 this year. There's one new line coming out, and that's the Joe version of the SW Slammers/Squinkies they Hasbro has. That. Is. It. Shame too, because the 25th stuff looked amazing. Ninja Force was coming back, there was an entire Zombie outbreak line. I wish I'd gotten pics of the absolutely MASSIVE mountain side diorama they had. Jinx was fighting 40 red ninjas. It was breathtaking.
