Title: 2013 GI-Joe figures/Retaliation
Post by: Clonehead on January 02, 2013, 10:46:01 PM
I found some auctions for some wave 3 retaliation figures on ebay tonight.
I wonder if this stuff has hit stores yet?

Clonehead where is Fla?
For me it all depends on the store here in Orlando. When they are out it is only for a limited time.
If you are looking for something, let me know and i will see if it is about when i hit the streets.

I'l make my rounds again this week - 2x Walgreens and a Target.  Not hoding my breath, but you never know!
Title: Re: 2013 GI-Joe figures/Retaliation
Post by: Clonehead on February 03, 2013, 01:33:50 PM
I actually talked a manager at one of my walgreens into ordering 8 figures to restock their shelves the other day. They are supposed to arrive next friday, I believe. Its a shame to think that they wont \be getting the old poc figures anymore but wave 2 would be cool.
Doc, your dpci # for the three packs is 087 06 0317
Their system recognizes that number as gi-joe ninja showdown so if they are in back, you will have to get someone to show them to you to determine which packs they have.
good luck

Post by: Clonehead on February 07, 2013, 05:59:41 PM

087-06-0202 I'll be checking on these tomorrow. Wish me luck

I just ordered the 3 Pack with Beachhead, Roadblack and this other ninja fella, the Roadblock goes to a friend and i think the ninja goes to ebay cause i only want that Beachhead. :D

Unfortunately the Retilation figures haven't been spotted anywhere in Germany so we poor people have to order them via shops in the net to high prices (Lady Jaye would cost me 14,99€ + 3,90€ vor transport). :(

thats probably the cheaper of the shipping prices you can find from the US as well. Most US shippers would charge at least 4,99Euros for shipping to Germany as a first class parcel costs 4,72 at the lowest weight and goes up from there since the shipping rate price hike back in Jan. I usually charge in between 3,46E and 3,83E for a single figure to ship to germany with combined rates for additional figures purchased in one trip. Lady Jaye is a bad example of the average as she is one of he more popular figures and her value online is high.
 
I actually have items that I offer free worldwide shipping for. Lady Jaye is one of them but she is priced higher than the other retaliation figures I sell.

Got some joe news over at Hisstank.com
I believe this came from joecon
The next wave of figures wont arrive till july or august instead of april/may as was reported at toy fair
sales of retaliation figures have been good but saturation of the first wave was too large like the episode one figures as was admitted by hasbro
figure that comes with that large helo is to have full articulation as will the rest of the future vehicle pack in figures. Hasbro admitted that the 5 poa pack in figures were a mistake

One can only hope they will realize this mistake with their new SW figures too.

Got some carded shots of wave 4 here thanks to my GiJoe Collector's club monthly magazine. Looks like 5 carry forward figs from wave three with 4 all new figs.

Lady Jaye
Joe Colton
Dark Ninja
Cyber Ninja
Alley viper

all new for this wave
Blind Master
Kim Arashikage
Night Viper
And Crimson Guard Cobra

Should be hitting by next month, I believe. Shawn, I will want any of these except the Cyber Ninja. Oh, never mind about the joe troopers. Too Common anymore.
Wonder if Walmart will get any. They are still overstocked with wave 1, kind of like the episode 1 figures.
I'm not even going to mention those crap 12 inch figures.

If I remember, I will get some better close up pics of the new figures from that page.

Just wanted to get the word out that I saw a Retaliation 3 pack the other day with a 25th ann. style Firefly in it instead of the new one that originally came out in that pack. I don't know what the heck Hasbro is doing????
Title: Re: 2013 GI-Joe figures/Retaliation

need a pic for that one, Tom. Was it the same cobra invasion team pack?

I'm pretty sure that was a figure-swapper, not something Hasbro did.

The box looked mint along with the tape. The firefly in there looked mint and he was holding a submachine gun and everything. I guess someone could have went through all that trouble just to get a free Firefly. Smart but pretty jerky.

Any idea when the new wave is to hit? Haven't found any if them on the brick and mortar websites or the fairly worthless hasbrotoyshop. Com.

Did a search on Hasbrotoyshop.com for the 3.5 wave and nothing comes up.  Went over to hisstank.com and they say if you type in "retaliation" the figures pop up and a lot of them are sold out.  Stupid HTS.....

They seem to go in cycles when they restock these at HTS.  The only ones that seem to be really hard to get are the Night Viper and Data Viper.  I'm gonna have to hunt a couple of those down in the wild.

I went to the store today and only saw 4 red ninjas hanging around, I would like them but I know I wouldn't be able to afford them and the ones I want from 3.5 as well. so I'm waiting.  Wondering if I should order online since this is looking like the 30th thing from last year all over again, I'll wait and see for now.

Heard rumors of a Walmart reset coming bit why would they get more figures if their pegs are clogged with wave 1.
My tru has space for them but so far, no restock.
