Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Did you miss where I said I'd pick it up? Just not happy about it being snuck into the ROC line.

Yeah, must have missed that!

I would rather watch more of these than more episodes of Resolute, honestly. How fun is this?

Yes, the Cobra Island packs were shared exclusives. Try the online comic shops. As for the movie line, Hasbro has stated that they will bring it back after the movie line has run it's course. Though, with it's... cough.... success and the... cough... success of the toyline, they are sneaking in things like Resolute Snake Eyes and including 25th Anny stuff via "then and now" packaging, so I'd just say keep your eyes peeled to the toy racks.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

The DVD pack with Alpine actually was not an exclusive. It was released to the Wal-Marts and Toys R Us's of the world. Hasbro claimed that these were manufactured and sold in the same number as the other sets, but that retailers must have been keeping them in their warehouses, which is why they were so hard to find. They eventually ended up getting released at Marshall's for $15 or so, though I suspect the local Joe collectors in your area would have bought them all up and hoarded/scalped them by now.

Too bad, because the Cobra Commander and Cobra Trooper in that set are possibly the two best versions released, and of course, Alpine is an essential Joe, and a pretty cool toy.

I expect (read: hope) that the 25th line will come back in some capacity after the ROC stuff is finished. There are still a few stragglers, particularly from 1986 that are needed, and they should really release Alpine, Ripcord, etc. as single, carded figures.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

^^^ What he said. I misread your post and thought you were talking about the Attack on Cobra Island packs. You're looking for the Best of the 80's pack which wasn't widely released (to potentially create demand? ). Initially, you'd see them pop up here and there when Hasbro decided to tuck them into a G.I. Joe shipment. I waited almost a year to find mine and that was by sheer luck. Now, with the focus 100% on ROC, your best bet is ebaY. Prepare to be reamed.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I saw a couple at Wal-Mart when they were first released, and (fortunately) bought one. Then, I never saw another one in person.

I never really bought Hasbro's line on that one. And even if the "warehouse" explanation was true, where are they now? Not sure how some ended up at Marshall's, though.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

All my stores here ever had and have is the MASS DVD pack, but none of the others. They could never tell me why the others never showed up.

Me either. I've never seen any at Marshalls, and the only one I've ever seen in person was the one I bought. It sucks that a company would pull that crap, especially when the parts are needed for a BOF-type project. If they'd released them all at once, likely it would've been more successful. But playing the game they did, left fans uninterested in a product series where they couldn't complete the extra.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I actually saw the Alpine set in a TRU about a month ago and haven't seen it since. It might have been a return though

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Traded my extra MOTUC Skeletor for one about a month ago. I thought these were going to be easy to find once they started showing up at Marshalls but I guess not... They were still going for $75-100 at the Joe Con this year.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I didn't even think the Alpine set made it to retail. I'm missing both the Pyramid of Darkness and the Best Of The 80's packs. I paid $35 shipped for the Arise Serpentor arise! pack, and that's about as much as I would spend on these.

Looks like I'll never have a complete MASS Device. Way to F%$# up Hasbro.
