Sadly, so far it has been a losing cause.
I hear ya brother......... :roll: let's see, we got an overload of rockslides,
cobra mantis subs, and the piece de resistance......(drumroll) The road rebel.... :oops: We have got a lot of crappy vehicals over the course of a year. Ive only seen 1 chopper (desert helicopter) at toys r us at the queensway, I should have picked it up :( . and that's all. We need to get some of the bigger vehicles that are out there. Walmart and the other stores are losing money hand over fist. I guarantee them there shelves would be empty like they usually are, but they would sell the "BIGGER MORE EXPENSIVE" items....... I just dont get it.
Also a little off topic, but does anybody know if they are selling joes at COSTCO, or SAM'S CLUB.... I heard something about it but Im not sure about it. I have a sam's club membership , and my girlfriend has a costco membership. So im covered if i have to go there.

Costco will have an exclusive 3 3/4 G.I.Joe Battel in a Box set that will have 2 vehicles and 6 figures. Figures are Tunnel Rat, Dart, Nunchuck, Tech Viper, Cobra Coils, Pit Viper. No mention of vehicles or time when it is showing up but it's suggested price is $24.88.

I remember seeing a pic of that, it comes with the rigneck and the smoke screen transport,
Does anybody know when it comes out to costco stores?

Oh for Pete's sake, an American collector picked these up for me last week. At least the stores up here are starting to realize you have to bring in new product soon, almost the same time as it hits the US market. Or people like me will find other ways to get them. But bring in the larger vehicles. I hate paying shipping on those items.
Can someone named Pete get away with saying "Oh for Pete's sake" or would it be "Oh for my sake"?

I can say my name in vain lol
Almost 40 bucks CAN for those 2 vehicles? Sigh. The first thing that popped into my head was ouch. Hasbro, make them cheaper. No parent is going to spend almost 20 bucks on a vehicle like that.

Nice, I will be all over that exclusive, however I haven't seen any of the Joe stuff at Sam's Club or Costco.
Hey guys! I've been lurking here a couple of weeks and thought this would be a great time to jump in. I work at the Costco here in London. No sign of that exclusive yet, although we will be carrying the VvV movie when it hits. I've been checking the computer to see if there are any GIJOE items coming in for Christmas but haven't found anything listed which is discouraging because we've already started listing our XMas stock I'm guessing that the exclusive will be a US item only.
Having said all that I'll check again now that I know what's in the set-it may not be listed under GI JOE.

As for the price of VvV it's listed at $12.49, released on the 14th of Sept. There's no mention of anything besides the movie, however, we usually get movies in a week before release so I'll let you know when I see it if it comes with any extras.
Later

do i have to be a member to buy anything at cost co? if so can some one get for me if that 6 pack comes out ther and i'll pay u back the differance if not thats cool.
You dont have to be a member, all you have to do is have someone else that has a membership and go with them, you can get in and use there card. just pay for it yourself.
If you want a membership, I think they are around 50 bucks. Im not sure if that is the coporate discount or what. it's around 50.
