QUOTE(lowyatben @ Aug 21 2009, 03:16 PM) @ Sadistic Reaper: I'll see if my force field gets broken before the end of the week. LOL! @ Sadistic Reaper, starwarsilike, et al: Is there a GI Joe website like what Rebelscum.com is to Star Wars that one could check out for updates? Do you have images of the upcoming The Doctor and Crimson Neo Viper figures? Any others that we should keep an eye out for? Thanks in advance. Yojoe.com for reference and Generaljoes (www.generalsjoes.com) for news This post has been edited by dzirhan: Aug 21 2009, 03:24 PM |

QUOTE(naith @ Aug 22 2009, 10:48 AM) Anyone know where Cover Girl can be found? I've called up some TRUs but they say that they don't have it. I'm not sure if they even had it in this wave She is available but tough to find, found one at TRU 1U myself, only one on the peg, I actually suspect the reason why she's hard to find is that Hasbro used the figures in every dio they scattered around at the stores. |

QUOTE(darkshadow @ Aug 25 2009, 06:23 PM) bro dzirhan ,how are you ?you buy any ROC figs? Pretty busy with work actually which is why I haven't been very active. As for ROC figures, yes I bought most of them save for the ones I expect will become pegwarmers and go on clearence. Bought most of the vehicles too. Like everyone else, just waiting for the next wave to come out. Can't understand Hasbro Malaysia being slow with everything coming out, should be getting everything out ASAP to cash in on the movie. |

QUOTE(lowyatben @ Aug 28 2009, 05:07 PM) Thanks, man. Re: the first GI Joe vs TF, is it reprinted anywhere at all? What about the Image/DD series? Now that IDW's taken over the publishing rights, is the former publisher's series still available in its entirety in TPB form? For the record, I enjoyed the cool looking TF vs GI Joe minis produced by Dreamwave a few years ago.The first one had jaw-dropping artwork by the ever awesome Jae Lee (who, by the way, came to M'sia sometime in the 90s and I even had a photo taken with him and a sketch drawn and autographed by him). IIRC, I think they didn't finish the second mini-series. Yup sadly, the second Dreamwave Joe/Transformers miniseries only got out the first issue before Dreamwave collapsed |

Sadly those are the first figures to go and be taken up by fans and scalpers and given that they came out a month ago, you'll be lucky to find them.

It's been mentioned before, but Jusco is not carrying any Hasbro products. Also while everyone posting here is a true collector, I'm just wondering that if by posting info on where to find etc on this thread, we are making it easier for scalpers who lurk on this forum. Rather sad really that these kind of things happen.

Regarding the Toywiz question, it might be possible if you are ordering a case as basically most speciality stores will only reserve figures if you take the case (so that they don't get stuck with the dregs), unfortunately many of the speciality stores aren't really taking GI Joe given that Hasbro is releasing it to TRU and the dept stores. BTW Fatimus, where is your hometown? As there might actually be a place there where you can get joes.

Ok, maybe not  though there is a Parkson just opened in Kota Bahru http://www.parkson.com.my/happenings/happe...00&EventID=4436 so you might be able to get joes there |

Well save for newcomers who've not posted in the thread here , it's pretty much certain by the postings here that those who have posted on this thread are collectors. So one can PM in the cases of any of the regulars here who asked where to find a particular figure and since the scalpers only target figures, it's not a problem to answer freely to anyone looking for a vehicle

Think Fatimus meant the newer stuff rather than what's been out in the past, btw the PIT playset is way overpriced as if I remember correctly, US retail is less than 100USD

QUOTE(naith @ Sep 4 2009, 07:18 AM) If I'm not mistaken, it's USD 99 (but given it's weight and size, the shipping would also cost a lot) It still should be cheaper in that case, as it's made in China, so shipping here is a lot cheaper than when it gets shipped to the US. |

Think the Rhino is to be released in the 4th quarter of the year, it's a target exclusive though so may not make it here

QUOTE(Helldiver @ Sep 4 2009, 01:03 PM) We'll get the store exclusives, don't worry. We've always got store exclusives from Hasbro; Transformers and Star Wars. That's what makes Malaysia so fricking awesome lol. Even convention exclusives are sometimes mass marketed here (Transformers Nemesis Prime). So expecting to see those exclusives here  If the Rhino was a small vehicle, I would agree, but given it's a fairly large vehicle, I'm cautious, when they bought in the 25th anniversary GI Joe vehicles, Hasbro Malaysia didn't bring in the Target exclusive Rattler or X-30 Conquest jets os same thing could happen to Rhino. Even now, the SDCC Destro then and now box set isn't available though Singapore TRUs has them. I'm hoping it will come in but don't want to be too optimistic. |

Sorry what do you mean by that, you can easily see the contents of the resolute set by opening the front of the box which has velcro holdings and there's only one resolute box set with the five figures contained in it being fixed namely:
Cobra Commander
Duke with Jet Pack
BAT
Cobra Trooper
Cobra Officer,
The other two box sets are the regular series joe and cobra boxed sets and the Greatest Battles DVD box set which has Duke, Cobra Commander, Snakeyes and Storm Shadow.

25th Anniversary single figures were out a year or two ago so doubtful they have stocks to bring in, the current box sets could be possible though

Nothing at TRU, from the earlier posting here, looks like tesco got a new shipment.
