Walmart exclusive two packs???

Postby ndviper » Thu Aug 06, 2009 12:08 pm

Any idea when we'll start seeing these in stores? I really can't wait to pick up the two pack with the Resolute Gung Ho, as I plan on him being my default Gung Ho in my joeverse.

A lot of these are scheduled to be released between August 31 - Sept 15th.

however, shipping schedules are wierd lately because of the movie hype, so Wal-mart may already be in posession of these, and didnt put them on the shelves yet. (if the shipping schedules of other retailers and online stores can be believed.)

all this may change by this weekend, depending on how well the movie does.

(makes a great question to ask at Joecon next week)

I was wondering this myself earlier and I went back through all of the coverage and found a pic that had one of the little white cards that said 08/09.

Here's to hoping that that date holds up and people start finding them this weekend than. Thanks for the info. :)

I think you misunderstood me,I should have said Aug. The 08/09 means August 2009.

Yup I did. Still could be any day though but like kingofpain said it could depend on how the movie does opening weekend too. But thanks again.

I finally found the dogtag and I love it. Wally is really sucking in my opinion regarding this line. I went to two Wallys a couple of days ago and ROC figs were SHARING space with the G-Force crap. This is the week the movie is coming out and that is the love it gets huh?

Walmart has definitely sucked in terms of Joes this time around. Thankfully TRU and Target have picked up the slack. Considering Walmart tends to be more expensive on everything now anyways, perhaps it's a good thing. Of course, I definitely still want those exclusives.

The only ROC stuff I've seen in my local Walmart is the Snake Eyes kiddie costume. :sadsad Doesn't really inspire me with any great hopes of seeing these exclusives. I need that Monkeywrench too. :billy

I think that was a MATTEL problem.

The recent Transformer movie Walmart Exclusives were those two jets, Skywarp and Ramjet.
I see them all the time.

So Im hoping these two packs will be easier to grab/find.

Yeah, even the Hasbro Marvel Legends haven't been that much of a pain too find (although the do take some searching)

Hasbro exclusives are generally not too hard to obtain. Mattel just apparently has problems that no other toy companies seem to have.

Of course if you don't have these in your Walmart, you can always ask your toy department manager to order them. :lol:

FYI, that is a Mattel joke that any DCUC collector should get.

Our ghetto walmarts are now doing or have done a reset and now have ROC joes. There are no pegs labeled for the exclusives. I think walmart's dog is in need of some preparation h by now.
