25th Anniversary G.I. Joe

I've already got the first wave of these guys and I'm waiting for the next ones. I had to get mine online due to scarcity around here, so, which online store is the best to purchase these from? I preordered the next two waves from BBTS but I'll probably get another set of each and if I can't get them instore I'll be doing more online shopping. I thought Hasbro was supposed to have them on their site but they only had the 5-packs and then they sold out.

Also, the ones that aren't going to be packed with future waves like Flint, do you think those will be skyrocketing in price? I mean, the carded figures aren't that easy to find around here as it is so imagine collectors who jump into the line during wave 2/3 and are looking to get ones that were only shipped 1 per case and are no longer shipping.

I'm glad they are selling as well I just wish stores would order more so I could get the satisfaction of seeing them on the pegs, and then in my hands.

I'm going with BBTS since they are so hard to find in stores. Hopefully Hasbro will increase production and stores will stock more. Until then my best bet is probably online. Although I have seen everyone in stores that was only at a K-Mart. I got both versions of Snake Eyes there, I wasn't sure which one I would get from my BBTS order and I wanted the gray one but got the black because it looked cool. I went back a few days later and got the Cobra Officer I passed up, a figure I have not seen since.

As for Flint it is possible that we could see a comic pack version with gloves, I hope anyway. It is also possible that Flint could be released in a wave revision of wave 2 or 3. I doubt Flint will only have one version. Still it could be worth something later on.


Gone but never forgotten. Farewell Transformers: Animated.

I've seen these (especially Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow) on pegs here at Wal-Mart and Target and I'm in SW Virginia! That should prove that these will be pretty available fairly soon I think...

I think BBTS is probably the best way to go for online ordering, though.

They are moving pretty quickly in my locale, stores can't keep the pegs stocked once word got around they were out. If I had to go with online, I would go with BBTS or Entertainment Earth

They are moving fast, but all the people at stores I have talked to say they will be ordering a lot more than they did initially.

I hope the next waves are a little easier to get than the first wave. I've seen lots of the box sets but the carded guys are a little harder to find. I did find the Snake-Eyes variant which is cool because I usually never find stuff like that.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

I was lucky enough to find them at retail. Pain in the ass kinda lucky hunting wise, but I do hope they produce better numbers in future waves.

I loves me that packaging

Havent seen a single one (5pack or single pack) in stores... of course I dont think they are out in Canada yet. Hopefully by the time Zartan hits the shelves, they'll be available here.

Saw the 5pack boxsets a few times, but still never seen any single packs.

Alll the TRU employees say they go immediately. Which is cool , so Hasbro should get the idea to go farther with the line

Don't look at my stuff!! Which is
