Hasbro cancels the wave 3 Alpha Vehicles from the Rise of Cobra line
« on: March 21, 2010, 11:01:53 PM »
This has been posted on GI Joe site south of the boarder and I was wondering if anyone here is disappointed about the news?  Of the four vehicles 3 were repaints of already released from wave 1.  The only new vehicle would have been the Polar Sharc, which would have been nice to have so it could battle the Cobra Mantis Attack vehicle.

Dammit!  I wanted the Polar SHARC, and I wanted the green Leatherneck figure that came with the Tiger Claw.  Are these FOR SURE cancelled now?  Because first they were being released first quarter, then they were cancelled, then they were just delayed until later in the year.  So are they cancelled for sure again?

This time this came from online toy seller Bigbadtoystore.com, they said Hasbro cancelled the line.  They even removed the products off there site and cancelled all preorders for them.

The other site I buy my Joes from still has them available for Pre-order.  With you living in Texas, you will see them first before us they if they are coming back or not.

Not as canceled as it first seemed:

2) What is the status of the ROC wave 3 Alpha Vehicles are we going to see them at retail or are they getting cancelled?

Some quantities of this wave have started shipping, so keep an eye out!

I wonder if this is a lame way of getting us to buy this wave when it comes out?  We will think it is in such short stock that we clear the shelves right away.

Really wanted a few Polar Sharcs.  I hope we see it in PoC somewhere.  The rest i can live without, but I wish we'd see a single card release of Volcano Viper.

I grabbed the Lava Pod yesterday.

The Volcano Viper is incredibly cool, but does not fit into the Lava Pod!!!

That is will the figure fully load with his equipment, how about when he is not? How much did you have to remove to make him fit?
