Joe repaints coming to a possible Dollar General near you?

I'd buy the heck out of that Trooper as well as get the others......though CC I'd wait and see what he looked like.....
Storm Shadow
Snake Eyes v4
Shipwreck
Grunt
Cobra Trooper
Cobra Commander (supposedly)

[Crimson Pilot]

Those troopers look pretty cool, like a night force type.

[neapolitan joe]

Maybe customs, I hope not!

[QUOTE=neapolitan joe]Maybe customs, I hope not![/QUOTE]

It specifically says for sale at Dollar General type stores so NOT customs!!

[neapolitan joe]

So great news.
Awesome figures, excellent paintjob, camos, details, weapons, tribute to ARAH.
Probably the best G.I.JOEs in the last 5 years.

[roguetiger]

another place talking about them.......
http://thetoyverse.com/?p=4878
with some better pics including the Cobra Commander....
And it says Dollar Store Wave....So more like Family Dollar and Dollar General's type of stores...seriously doubt Dollar Tree as I don't think they'd be going for a whole dollar....
Though some have been saying that the Storm Shadow is the same body as the hard to find Renegade Storm Shadow.

I offer a real neapolitan pizza (the ORIGINAL) to all the G.I.JOE community worldwide!
This is a great new!
High level! Standards better of the 30th anniversary toyline.
YO JOE!
Neapolitan Joe, Naples, Italy.

The one that looks like Grunt is actually yet another Duke.

The black Cobra Trooper/Officer is awesome. Pass on the rest.

Its GRUNT to the rest of us Mr. Mod... :p ( I do hope that comes off as teasing! ) ;)

Wasn't sure if you had seen the cardback yet. He definitely looks more like Grunt. Or maybe even V1 Hawk with the helmet off. Damn Duke. I'm going to have to do some more pics of him getting killed.

[neapolitan joe]

He is clearly Grunt:

[Django]

when are these supposed to hit?

[Lava Boss]

Not even out in the USA and there's already a repaint wave of them planned it seems.

Basic Repaints (http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/gi-joe-movie-2/2012-gi-joe-basic-figure-repaints-11271/)

Duke looks more like Short-Fuze.

Wonder if they'll call that recolored Storm Shadow "T'Ginzu"...probably not.

[lehsreh]

All I want is the Grunt. Use him as G.I. Joe troopers. Save me a lot of money by not paying the top dollar Ebay price for the new G.I. Joe troopers coming out.

[turner]

These are very cool, I'm very interested in these, not the movie line though, but these.

Unfortunately the 2nd ones (the repaints) did not come carded. I'd assume that they won't change the names nor the colours on the back of the card when they are released. Which is a shame for "official" cataloging and archiving etc.

Benvenuto Gyre-Viper, nice to see and read You here too!

Hey nea-joe. Yeah I lurk a lot. I try not to be redundant. And that keeps me from joining the same convos everywhere. heheh. especially if they have something to do with something I've posted. I'm sure I bore everyone enough as it is... hehehh.

[Renegade]

I can't help but feel like this is going to be a great idea for buyers. Only problem is, finding them (damn you and thank you at the same time Hasbro!)

[Flatline]

Exactly where the hell can we find these in Cali?

I don't think these have even hit the states yet....the ones posting pics are either in the know or in the Philippines.

[roguetiger]

Someone found these in the US in Louisiana at Dollar General.....

[tycondrius23]

yup can folks keep their eyes peeled for me too?

[turner]

I saw one guy wrote that he had been to 55 dollar generals and found two sets.

[Crimson Pilot]

[QUOTE=turner]I saw one guy wrote that he had been to 55 dollar generals and found two sets.[/QUOTE]

That is a lot, I think i have 4 DGs in 30 miles. I Called them and none even heard of them yet and cant see if any are on the way either. I got a WM store manager to order 32 cases of joes but then after waiting for the truck to be filled before delivery, it was cancelled due to inventory, ug. time to vent in his face in about a week to get them ordered again.

[turner]

Personally I've been to about 11 dollar generals in 6 towns in the last three weeks, some multiple times (one about a half dozen times). So far, I've found one set on the pegs and got one from a manager that they weren't intending to put out "unitl the other joes sell." I told them that those others weren't likely to sell anytime soon, had been there for like 3 years.

[Reverend Blood]

If anybody needs it, the DG lookup sku is 653569755678-400; That way you can give them something to look for instead of asking for "g.i. joes, bigger than ones you have on the pegs, but smaller than the big, big ones..." (actual conversation.)
I still haven't found any in stock at roughly 9 DGs. Only one in my town that got a case was right by Lt. Pinpoint so he beat me to it (but grabbed the trooper for me :D ) So I'm still looking, but that may help some of you as well.
