I've seen them on ebay if you want to order them from europe, China or Singapore, but has anyone bought RISE OF COBRA figures in the states? Like in Walmart, Target or Toys R Us? If not we need to change the song.... "GI Joe, a real overseas only hero! GI Joe wil be there....(when we finish our overseas marketing survey on the feasibility of American kids liking GI Joe!)"

I believe the release date for the rest of the ROC toys isn't for another month or so. As far as the overseas stuff goes... It's all stuff stolen from the factories and resold on the secondary market, you know? __________________ RIP Minouche, 1994-2009.

I assume the people though that since they were in the states people would want to pay for for the figures or something. __________________

I know what you mean Frank, but try living in my neck of the woods. I have to pay three times the price of everything, plus postage, via eBay because NOTHING is released locally.

Mysterious Stranger Veteran Offline --> Posts: 539 --> Join Date: Nov 2007	I believe the street date for the ROC figures is in July, maybe the 1st but I can't be sure. Anything you're seeing on ebay other than the Preview 3-pack (which has only been sighted in Canada) is stolen from the factory. __________________ Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

But they have been seen in stores...but in Canada. So does this mean they will be overpriced and you'll have to pay for shipping in the USA?
