How Much Are You Paying Fr Thre Roc Figures?

[lehsreh]

im just wondering if im over paying. wal-martt nor k-mart had any, so i found some of all place, magic mart??? but for the thunder and armored panther i paid 16.99$ i think thats only a buck over what they were listed as. for the steel crusher i paid 27.77, i think thats about 2$ over listed. but thats ok as long as there not way, way over. so what are you guys paying?

[Outrider]

Down here the entire line is expensive - $60AU for the Steel Crusher, with the figures at $18AU each. :( That works out to around $48US and $14US respectively. Ouch.

[lehsreh]

dude, i only found 1 of each today, but if they get more in and you need them, to keep from paying those prices let me know. ill pick them up ship them for you and you can just pay what it cost here and shipping. should save you some money.

[Scuba Steve]

I went and got the figures I wanted today at Toys R Us in Phoenix and your estamates are just about exactly what they are going for.

8 for figures
14 for the small vehicals
24 fir the mid range
didn't have the large vehicals
night raven $33
or the Pit $100

[troopsofdoom]

I refuse to pay anything for the movie merchandise.

[Jay]

Let's see.

Figures are $9.99, about $8.60 US
Alpha vehicles are $24.99, about $21.50 US
While I haven't seen them myself, Bravo vehicles are supposedly $34.99, about $30.10 US.

Figures I don't mind so much, but the vehicle price is ridiculous when I can still get a HISS for $19.99...

DITTO!

:D :D :D

While figures have some cool looking gear I'm pretty through new sculpt stuff. The vehicles seem to be gearing back to the GVC/Spytroops giant missle launcher crap. The gunship looks prettyy cool, but as Craig pointed out in his pic it's in dire need of a rotar or something. I think the Pit and the Night Raven both look pretty terrible. If I see anything useful I'll just wait for Target's clearance at the end of the season.

[Death_at_Midnight]

In Waco, Texas, the average price at either Target or TRU comes to about $8, the same for SW and a bit less than the Marvel Universe figures. So I can't complain.

The vehicles I've only found at TRU which are the same prices mentioned above.

$16.99 I found too much at the moment to rush to buy the small vehicles. $24.99 for the Steel Crusher and that Cobra Gunship is a bit more acceptable, but only for one, not to buy a small collection of them. Instead of $25 for these, I rather buy a Stinger or another HISS for less. The Night Raven was there, but they had many so I'll wait until next payday. Not going to get The Pit.

The thing is, ROC merchandise are going to be around and available. The older stuff -- Stingers, HISS's, etc -- are going to be sold less and less as inventories clear out. So I rather get the older vehicles for now, and they cost less.

BTW, does anyone know when Walmart is supposed to stock their shelves with ROC?

I've picked up all I'm going to from the movie line, but I appreciate the offer. Thanks man! :)

[Goldbug]

Walmart prices (http://superposeable.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-gi-joe-rise-of-cobra-listings.html)...
Figures $7.88
2 packs $13.96
mid size vehicles $15.97
large vehicles $24.88
Night Raven size vehicles $39.88

I assume KMart is going to have singles for $8.99 the same as their over-priced Star Wars figures are.

I'm definately waiting until a sale.

[zedhatch]

I hadn't found anything yet but OUCH, that is pricey.

[Sonneilon]

Heh heh, at least you guys are finding them!

[Black Knight]

Figures 7.99
Small Vehicles 14.99 (ATV, Drill Pod, and Snow Mobile)
Medium Vehicles 24.99 (Gun Ship and Hummer)
Large vehicles 39.99 (Night Raven)
Huge Vehicles 99.99 (PIT)

Haven't seen any two-packs yet and still waiting on Wal-Mart to release theirs. I'm also waiting for the exclusives from TRU, Target, & Walmart.

As far as collecting... I think I got everything so far (minus the PIT)... I haven't seen any figures that I've missed that has been released so far.

Holy mackarel.

You know the Night Raven is $59.99 up here? It's practically highway robbery.

Practically. The prices Outrider has to pay, though? Those are ACTUAL highway robbery.

Right you are Jay, the Night Raven is $100 here. Luckily I don't like it and passed on it.

[Darklon]

In spain the prices are intolerable.

16 $ Figures
27 $ Small Vehicles
44 $ Steel Crusher

This is the starting price. Normally, in 3-4 months they will lower a few dollars the prices, and in a year figures should be 10 $. I will wait until they become affordable.

[Lava Boss]

According to a post on another forum, in the USA there will be a Toys R Us sale July 19-25,

All 3 3/4" movie figures are 2 for $9.99!!

Alpha vehicles are $13.99

12" Ninja figures are $5 off

[Jay]

Wal-Mart and Zellers in Canada finally stocked the ROC stuff.

Unsurprisingly, their vehicles all cost less than TRU's crazy prices.

Figures: 9.99$ at all stores (give or take a few cents for Wal-mart, naturally)
Alpha vehicles: 24.99$ at TRU, 19.99$ at Zellers and Wal-Mart
Bravo vehicles: 34.99$ at TRU, 28.99$ at Zellers and Wal-Mart
Echo Night Raven: 59.99$ at TRU, 49.99$ at Zellers and Wal-Mart (Holy price reduction Batman!)

I really hope Zellers and Wal-Mart stock in on PITs because I shudder to think how much TRU will overcharge it.....

[tycondrius23]

hmm don't you mean €'s ? or did you work out the $ equivilant ?

Ha that is funny it is the opposite here or it was during the 25th line.

I heard TRU Canada will have rebates. Check Joecanuck.com for more info.
Also TRU here will have a sale on them in a week. 2 singles for $10 is what I hear. Also don't forget Walmart does price matching. Target will also start price matching next week. Target requires the ad though so don't throw them away or lose them. ;)

That's going on right now. 30% off figures and Alpha vehicles.

Sadly that doesn't help people wanting Bravo and Echo vehicles.

[Darklon]

Tycondrius, I worked the equivalent in $. Besides that, the Mole Pod is very small! I imagined it a lot bigger.

THAT'S SOME GREAT INFO I'LL JUST A WAIT A WEEK TO PICK UP THE FIGURES I WANT. :) THANKS GOLDBUG!!

[Death_at_Midnight]

Please post where you find the ads.

The mole-pod thing looks small. Would like to get one. I wonder if it'll be possible to join two or three, with some bellows between them, you know, to extend it.

Anyway, i want that new ferret. Just waiting for TRU's sale, and for next payday.

[tycondrius23]

The ads usually come in your local newspaper. That is if you have a TRU nearby.

[zedhatch]

Tried to search the thread to see if it had been mentioned but Taret has them for 6.99. Finally found some yesterday.

[Death_at_Midnight]

There's a mention in the thread about new info for figures (here (http://www.joedios.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2680&page=19&pp=10))

But it's always good to spread the word around more.

There's also a sweapstakes thing Target is running, something about winning a Joe electronics box or something, or, if you choose the Cobra side, $9,000 grand prize. Also $100 gift cards. Can enter online at http://www.target.com/gijoe.

[Sonneilon]

$8 w/o tax at Fred Meyer in NW Washington state. thefore, i am picky.




I got my order from Small JOes (faster than amazon.com!). CoverGirl, Camo Scar, and 2 desert Dukes.

Tell me about it... They supposed to be evenly priced. All "economists" and pro EU people in the governments claim they are, but in reality they are not!!! :mad:

In Finland the cheapest 25th figures I've manged to find were 13,50€ a piece (thats 16,70$)... but then again I've managed to find them in one place only and even that is 3 hour drive away... so they are not really easy to get anyway... it comes cheaper to buy figures from the scalpers in evilbay anyday... :confused:

The Wolverine movie figs are about 12€ here so I'm assuming the ROC stuff wil be somwhere between 12-15€ a piece.... which is a total rip off!!!

Man does recession suck!!!
