That Hoth Snowtrooper pack looks awesome. I'll have to pick up a few of those. I hope these hit retail in December like previous 2010 sometimes do.

Awesome news about the Alley Viper repaint.
I put in an order for the custom remake of the Missile Mobile Command Headquarters. I saw a prototype of the set at the 2008 Joecon in Frisco, TX and forgot all about it until today. The set is profiled in the November Joecanuck.com newsletter and is available for order. I have the original displayed but I would like to have a brand new one that is sturdier and not as easy to damage.
I highly recommend the Joecanuck monthly newsletter because it always a great read with a lot of great articles. Much better than the Mastercollector GI Joe Club newsletter.

Sounds like Canada stores are getting a lot of the Target Wave 2 Deluxe sets. Apparently they are clogging shelves up there. Over on Hiss.com they found Serpents Armors, Python Rattlers and other Target exclusives at Zellers. Maybe that's why they haven't been seen at all Targets.

The He-Man re-release has sold out. I decided not to buy this because I have the first release. Was tempted to buy another but passed. Maybe someday they'll have another in a 2-pack. I would have been more likely to buy this if I could include bonus figures iwith my subscription order to save the double shipping charge.
I did get a order confirmation for my sub. Scareglow last night so that should be coming soon.

Finally had enough checking Targets for that Snake Armor set. Broke down and bought 2 on ebay by helping someone make a nice profit. Hopefully, I find a bunch at clearance time to help offset the price of these two. At least I'll save money in driving to Target.

WTF...I had no idea these even existed. Anyone see them at retail?
John
I remember seeing them on ebay 2-3 months ago. If I remember correctly this wave saw a limited release in Canada during the summer.

« on: November 2, 2009, 02:23 PM »Found a couple cases of wave 4 at my local Aldi. $6.99 each. I helped myself to a Para-Viper and Kamakura, finishing wave 4 for me.
Thanks for the tip. I have a couple Aldi stores nearby to check because I've never seen those in stores. Can't wait to pick up Charbroil and Night Adder.

Saw the Bench Press figure at TRU the other day. Looked cool but I passed for now. I've been passing on most of the ROC figures.

They shipped my subscription Teela out earlier this evening. I'll have it next Wednesday. Over at He-Man.org all of the subscription Teelas didn't ship out until today. One week after they went on sale. They did not ship out first like it said on Facebook.
I also ordered Zodak and Ray today after the good news about Teela finally shipping.
Hopefully, they get Scare Glow all ready to ship out right away for subscribers.

You have to blame the retailers too and not just Hasbro. Retailers order what they want and Hasbro just fills those orders. Target didn't have to order tons of Rise of Cobra wave 1 and 2 and Star Trek and Indy.

Just ordered the new Classic Uncle Scrooge statue. I don't usually buy many statues but this one is very cool and of my favorite Disney character.

I think they overproduced the movie figure. If the line doesn't sell well overall it's because stores ordered too much. Maybe they were ensuring enough to go around compared to the usual low stock of 25th anniversary single packs. Really wish they would have saved some of that production for 25th single packs of the last few waves that never made to shelves.
I'm seeing a ton of Star Trek figures in stores. At TRU the Trek figures bulge out in that part of the aisle compared to the very low stock of Star Wars figures.

Just ordered Tri-Klops. I logged in on Mattycollector at 10:55 am and refreshed a few times. Then when it said add to cart it went fast and I was able to finish by 10:58 am. Right after that the site is slow. This may be the trick to order right away because they make the order process active about 3 to 5 minutes early.
