G.I. Joe Cobra Island Wave
August 1st – August 13th has been the pre-hunt. As of August 14th, the Cobra Island hunt really goes all out. However, does your Target actually have anything in stock? With the distribution handled so poorly with Hasbro and Target, most stores don’t have anything for the official street date. Remember, many stores refused to sell before that August 14th “street date” and now at official launch, they have nothing.
Will the stores have the toys in stock? Will we get what we have been promised?
Checking the DCIP numbers on Popfinder, the answer is no, they won’t. The stores that had them early (for the most part) put them out and the collectors bought them. The stores that would not sell them till the 14th will be stormed tomorrow. As soon as they open, collectors will find cleared shelves and the toys already sold somehow. I am sure there will be a couple of exceptions here and there but this will be the exception rather than the rule.
Update as the clock struck midnight:
The listings on Target changed from ‘coming August 14th’ to ‘Sold Out’. This means they did not have new stock for online sales on the 14th or that stock has not been added to the system. It does let you look to see what stores have them near you. That is nice, but it only shows 1 or 2 items and it won’t let you buy from the store. From what we can see so far, it looks like there will not be new stocks of figures on Friday– those have already been sold despite what they have been telling us. This wave may indeed be a hunt hunt for those that have not got them yet. Baroness however has not been seen at all except from a few people that bought them overseas. She might be a “wait and find at the stores” later down the road if shipment delays are the issue there. Hopefully stores will get restocked, but right now I think we are out of luck for storming the beaches of Cobra Island on Friday.
G.I. Joe Classified Series Wave Two
G.I. Joe Wave Two figures are also arriving at stores in both Target and Walmart stores. Again, I see no stock in my area for 75 miles for tomorrow’s supposed release date. There will be a lot of disappointment on Friday and the hunt will be weeks long or longer. Wave two figures can still be preordered on some sites even though they’re popping up on shelves. Its a win-lose-win-lose out there and all you can do is hope for the best.
We have all the links and DCIP numbers we could find below to help your hunt.
