I hate to say but I think these are FAKE signs and such. Someone that works at Wal Mart made these tags up or photoshopped em. They don't get those signs or shelf tags unless its a week out. And the rollback ones???? How can they be a rollback if they aren't even out yet??????? I confirmed this with someone that works at Wal Mart those #'s aren't in the system.


my friend works there.at the new wal-mart they are putting up, he told me that they are there and the price is 4.88. i will check this out with him . the price may have change. i will relook it up at my store too.

I'll believe it when I see them in stores in my area. Until then everything that posted is just rumor.

ok

Well they're not at my local Wal*Mart yet either............... :(

yeah no new joes at my walmart either, just old sigma 6 figs. lordy i wish there was a new toon to go along with the new set.

A cartoon to go with the set would probably work in this day and age.

The comic packs are now 2 figures, not suprising since Star Wars packs are like that.

And the only "new" character addition to them is Hawk. I can understand keeping versions of Duke, Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow around to appeal to newcomers, but they are already overdoing it. If these and the other Cobra 5 pack are released this year...that's 4 Storm Shadows and 4 Cobra Commanders within 6 months. (PLus 3 Snake Eyes, 2 Scarletts, 2 or 3 Destros, 2 Dukes...)

Comic Packs? Where did they announce this?

Uhmmmm, so this means you guys have, like, MONEY! Can I have a Firefly or something? :P Seriously tho, I don't expect them to hit here for awhile and well, my paychecks won't be going UP for another month so I'll be pretty late on picking these bad boyz up. Course, I do have a bud or two who owe me a favor or two!

Yeah, I hadn't heard anything about these beyond rumors whispered in darkened rooms that they might be a possibility...

Check my first post-HISSTANK.com

New Toys New Cartoon ..... Heaven :rolleyes:

ok heres the latest info i got, S6 2.5 is on clearance, some of the S6 8. is also on Clarence there is a new mod ready to set. that's at my wal-mart in Shelton Ct.
the new wal-mart in Milford has it up already but they don't open till Aug. so ill get the new mod sheet from my friend. with the right price, i still think its $4.88.

Are they going to be in other places besides Wal-mart? I don't have one near me and it would be much more convenient if they were going to be at Toys R Us too.

25th Shipped?
 

I heard that these would ship out around 25th? If this is true surely they wouldnt arrive at US stores until about 2nd.
Given that those stores then have to get the display and stock space I would imagine they would release them on the 3rd or 4th. I'm probably wrong on this, however would Hasbro consider releasing these on the 4th of July? :confused:
Rich

rich some parts of the U.S. has it already. so far i know is in Denver colorado.
I'm thinking Hasbro has it time half there and then here. then new Mexico, Canada. so on.

Target has it for 5.99,
toys r us is going to be higher, the 33/4 are still going for $6.99, they may be still be the same price, as it sister,

Man I can't wait for these babies to hit the Stores around in my area!!! :D

I had no plans for this fourth of July, so I decided to hunt for these guys (even though I just did so on Saturday). I went to two Wal-Marts, three Targets, and one Toys R Us, and there was no sign of them, nor any sign that they'd ever been there. So I can safely say, they aren't out in my area yet.

But I'll search again this coming Saturday...

Doom Of The 25th G.i.joes
 

OK HERE THE DEAL, MY BROTHER FINILY FOUND THE JOES WAS GOING TO BUY THEM ,but he said all of the box set of the joes Scarlett left leg are broken, in every box, then he came across this,
http://forums.toynewsi.com/index.php?showtopic=2040433
it seem that the joes are bracken. hes going to Waite for a bit to see if hasbro will fix the problem? or maybe someone on the TNI form will say some thing? i will hate to see this. but my brother may be right these things were made like :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: , i just hope they will fix it before the next set leave..

25th joes
 

hay guys today at work we got the 5 pack. there was about 6 of them and the joe sets all the Scarlett right legs were broken. the set gos for $24.98, and the card ones $4.88, there not rollback. there always low price. there were not that much there. im hoping they come in tonight so i can pick up the set. there's the form i read and there falling apart, what im thinking is thy may have put way too much force on them, i like the way C.C looks, and the snakeeyes comes with 2 different dogs, timber comes in white and black. but roadblock and destro looks bad-ass. im hoping when i go to the joe con here in Conn, they have the Scarlett doll , so i can make Glenda out of her. :D

I got my Gung Ho out of the box, only to find his right leg hangs loosely, making it impossible for him to hold any sort of pose. Very disappointing quality control and/or design by Hasbro. :mad:

:eek: What a tragedy man!

That sucks monkey rocks.

yeah i had to order my pack off line and when i finally got it and opened it gung-ho's leg fell right off to say i was suprised was an understatement now i gotta wait for them to reach where i live to get another one(and hope that i get a decent gung-ho)

don't hold your breath for a decent, functional, tight-joint Gung-Ho. The problem with his right leg is almost universal, MOST of the GH figures that have been reported on share the problem.

That's the most consistent issue I've been reading about, but it seems that quality control is uneven or just plain poor throughout the line, with the boxed 5-packs having the majority of rampant broken, flimsy, misshapen, and sloppily painted characters. And in the single carded arena, I've read and seen for myself that finding cardbacks that aren't rolled in the corners or bent and creased is difficult.

And all these problems are compounded by these things just starting to show up, first sightings in US stores were only about 3 weeks back. Spotty distribution and fast sell-outs makes it harder to hope that the store you do find these things in probably just put out a single case so chances are all the cards will be crap or all the boxes will look banged up. Once they start reaching saturation following heavier shipments, at least finding presentable packaging on shelves will be easier... but that doesn't help the figures themselves. THAT'S an issue Hasbro going to have to address and fix ASAP if they want this line to keep selling to MIB/MOC collectors as well as loose collectors and customizers.

You know one of my theories has always been: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'........

I had NO problems with the original designs...............ergo.........K.I.S.S. (another of my favorite phrases ;) )

Ooh Man!!! :(

crapy figures lol....

Kinda sounds like the production was rushed.

Or Hasbro is punking us for the 2nd wave...

next wave of the 25th joes
 

ok these guys are due out buy oct, and old sgt. may be part of the next box set.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

holy crap!!! i can't wait for that shipwreck!!

Everything looks better than it probably is.

I still haven't seen any 25th figures, let alone own one.

Why'd they muck up the troop builder set with yet another Storm Shadow (or CC for that matter...who does look kinda cool....silver gloves aside).

Serpentor and Zartan....not vintage looks? What gives?

beat me to it
i like this one

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/?mode=view&...ze=800&start=20

Lady Jaye looks SA-weeeet! :p

I agree
I wouldn't have minded if Stormy in this pack was all RED, so at least I can
make an army of Red Ninjas... :cool:

marcos when you go can you get some pics of the customs they have ? the alleyviper is in the background but no close up, i hope they eventully make these.

And this is a real tribute to original line. A lot of Cobra Commanders, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadows, a big fuck*ng sh*t. What makes my eyes cry is Leatherneck, Beachead, Destro v1, Snake Eyes v1 and Stalker v1. But I still didn't put hands on any of the figures of 25th.
