Patience. G.I.Suicide. We'll find them next time we're in Ontario if they don't come out in Quebec.

I don't have a lot of information right now on these. But, they don't look like to be the club exclusive. So I'm hoping to see these at retail.

The stuff is supposed to be exclusive to Toys R Us.....all of it. The possible exception is one of the two variations of the VAMP/Night Landing set---which may be a SDCC exclusive.

But this is it. 
Hasbro wants us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a TRADEMARK, but not actually offering ANY product reminiscent of the stuff offered 50 years ago.
Big whoop.

Yojoe has some high-res pictures as well.

I am not sure why Hasbro is re-leasing the Snowjob, Blowtorch and Low-Light figures.  Those are a waste.

The 3-pack with Destro and Leatherneck is a must have for me.   The Wolf and Vamp packs as well.

Thanks for all the info guys . Just thought id share from my own experience.
Notice on pete the geeks link to yo joe heat viper and night viper have a white paste of somesort under their left foot. I have the retaliation night viper and he cant stand or pose very well. Especially with those cheap retaliation stands that hasbro relrased . Any way i assume that white piece of gum is to help those chars pose.

Toys R Us exclusive but does that mean they are coming to Canada? I suppose I'll have to wait until fall to find out.

I'm very happy to see it and I'll buy it all but unless they are selling those figures in two packs we are going to see 3 peg warmers for sure. Low Light still fetches a few bucks on Ebay but Blowtorch, Snow Job and The Baroness are going to throw off TRU's inventory count meaning they won't be ordering and more once those clog up the shelves.

I hate the hunt nowadays. I'll probably buy them off ebay and be done with it.

Kre-o I'm pretty much bored with and I'm tempted to sell off my sets I already have.

I do wish there was at least one repro 12 inch figure. I know not everyone would have bought him but if the price was right ($10 - $15) I'd buy a boat load and do some head swaps.

Baroness and Lady Jaye are popular enough that I expect that set will sell through as will the B.A.T.  /Snow Job set and the Low-Light/Night Viper set. I expect we'll see a lot more of Blowtorch and HEAT Viper on shelves.

This reminds me a lot of the '97 line which consisted entirely of repaints.
