toysrus.com (too bad it's not toysrus.ca) have pre-order available for G.I. Joe Retaliation figures and vehicles.
Hopefully we'll see them in Canada soon.
The shipping date listed is May 28/12.
ARROW:
My source says that these toys will appear on TRU shelves come may 28th. My local store already has the vehicles in the back area. Figures are inbound.
condor knight:
I have the delta vehicles in stock and all the rest on the way
ARROW:
My source at TRU tells me the Retaliation figures are in the stockroom as of today--at my local store. They do have a street date that is supposed to be adhered to--the aforementioned May 28th.
Its hard to say how well the product will sell--I was told that the initial reaction is that some of it is interesting, and some is ho-hum. My source tells me that a manager said that if the stuff doesn't sell much within about 3 months time--then it'll get discounted. That is likely an off-hand comment, and not an official policy though, so expect things to be different store-to-store.

Let's hope that TRU follows the same pattern that has occured recently, intentional or not. That is releasing stuff and either having a sale at the same time, or a week later. That or a sale at the same time as a media release. I'm thinking back to MP Rodimus being released during a 30% off sale and The Avengers toys getting a 30% off sale the week it opens.
