General Joe Talk / Early Release of Movie Figures?
« on: June 18, 2009, 01:17:47 PM »
I heard tell that the movie figures may be released early (this was completely separate from me hunting for any accidentally released product). I called Hasbro this morning to confirm the rumours and the Hasbro CSR did confirm the release date for at least Wave 1 (I confirmed with specific figs) was moved up from July to June - including Canada.
Next, I called the closest Wal-mart and spoke to the Hasbro area manager and she said she just had the Hasbro rep in yesterday and they had a "mod" (or something like that) of movie stuff out this morning.
I hopped in the car and 40 minutes later I was there. All I could find was the 3 packs though!?!?!? I tracked her down and she meant only the 3 packs were back in stock. I thought I was clear, but I guess not....
I went to Zellers and TRU. Zellers had none in stock or in the back and TRU was sticking to their July 10 (?) date.
Epic fail.
At least I had it confirmed the release date was moved up.
