i confirmed today with the district manager over at the dollar store next door to where i work, that these are in fact in the system and will be arriving in the next couple of months. the price point for the figures will be $6 at dollar general. the district manager is willing to place an order for extras for me, case quantities of course. so how many johio-ians want a guaranteed case or two or three? prices $36 per case plus tax ,stark county tax is 6.25% rounding up the cents would make it $39. yeah these will likely be in every dollar store from here to montanna, but how bad do you want to make shadow guards out of cobra commander, that black night watch trooper, or the shipwrecks for flagg troopers. let me know if any one wants a case. i'll give payment info closer to wheni can place the order.


orders:

gawd 1
gogo 2
science 1
dg 10
samatha 1
brett 1
zrock 1
rock 2
alley viper 1

That news is awesome and thanks for breaking it for us! I have been wondering at which stores they would be released and when- also, was curious as to the cost. I have several Dollar General Stores near me and we have Family Dollar too. I am looking to do some troop builders with these and and the next wave of variants. If I can't find the figures here I will definitely get in on these extra orders.
Good looking out!

[superjoe74]

Oh- and maybe you might look at taking some cases to All American Con if they are available by then..

[Sciencefriction]

Hmm, I'm definitely interested in a case. I know there is also a variant for each figure, I wonder if Hasbro is going to do variant cases?

[gogorobo]

Mark me down for a case, two if you can swing it

[superjoe74]

Holy wow- I knew there were several Dollar General and Family Dollars stores in my area but, after finding out the news these Joes will be in at least the Dollar General Stores I did store locator search and I have 20+ stores within a 30 mile radius. Did I say holy wow? 'Cause I meant it. Holy wow!

lol

So, would that be six figs a case then at $6 per...or do we get a price break at case quantity?

When would you need the money?

What's the expected arrival date?

[gawd6sic6]

i wouldnt mind a case either....

the dm said they are in the system, and shipping from over seas but the system wont allow an order yet. as soon as she can order them she will give me a call.....and i will probably follow up once a week with her. so i am trying to get the qty needed first then i will work on collecting the money from everyone. paypal gifts will probably be the easiest, cash always works too. i dont have a deadline for the orders since i dont know when they will allow her to place the order, so what i have when she calls will be what it is. doesnt look like there will be a price break unfortunately but i will try and negotiate one.

variants appear to be coming but no idea how distribution will be on them

[superjoe74]

As regards the variants, I was under the impression they would be an assortment of their own which would come after this initial wave of figures. From everything I have seen so far- including the cases for sale on ebay the initial cases contain only the regular deco figures but, heck- it could change and Hasbro may start shipping the variants with the first wave figures at some point...

[Sciencefriction]

I wonder if we order a certain amount of cases we could get a price break? I'd be down for more if that's the case (or possible).

I hope the variant figures are a seperate case/wave, that would make things much easier for us, especially in this situation.

[nukesimek]

Do you happen to know the UPC or order numbers? Prior to seeing your post I talked to a store we take reports at all the time! Figured I would make them do some work for me! However, they weren't as willing to go poke around in the system. They did say if I provide them with any kind of product numbers and they will order, no problem.

[YoJoeNCSU]

So whats the breakdown for the figures in this case? Is it 1 of each (Black CC, Black Trooper, SE, SS, Duke, Shipwreck)?

Is there a site that shows what accessories they come with? I'm really only wanting 3 of the guys (SE, SS, and the trooper), but I'll get the case to make it easy.

I really like the large symbol on the trooper, would like to see more figures like that. I really like the Snake Eyes - that was the first SE figure I had as a kid. Wish they would have added the detail on the gauntlets (or whatever they are called), but its still cool to see the homage to that version.

[Sciencefriction]

Here's a UPC for you, I think it's from the Cobra Trooper but don't know for sure.

00653569756255

[superjoe74]

The break down for each case should be 1 of each figure and there are 6 figures- Duke, Shippy, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander and a Cobra Trooper. The variant cases should include the same figures and quantities.

For a picture of the packaged figures and what can be seen of their accessories check: http://www.ebay.ph/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0294351506

For preview pictures of loose figures from wave 2: http://www.joedeclassified.com/forum/vi ... ?f=5&t=498

As regards barcode/ upc I could only find information on the 1st wave of figures (which still have only been found in the Philippines) and do not believe wave 2 has been found anywhere at retail yet.
For the 1st wave of regular figures the UPC codes and product number are:

SS: 653569755388 / 7253950101
Cobra trooper: 653569755425 / 7253950201
CC: 653569755661 / 7253950301
Shipwreck: 653569755678 / 7253950401
SE: 653569755685 / 7253950501
Duke: 653569755692/ 7253950601

Awesome info! Thanks guys!

[Dragongravy]

i wonder if it is really going to be a second wave or if it is just a running change, i guess we wont know untill card images show up of them.

[Brett74]

One case for me, Please!
