My Wal-Mart had one set for one day. Now it's gone & replaced with Top Gun items. Seriously.

I had one each of Cobra Trooper and Beach Head pulled from the backroom at my third Target of the day. The funny part, I asked an older associate if he could look up the dpci. He asked me if I was looking for WWE figures, lol. Oh no, I look like a stereotypical toy collector! Gosh, it's not like I was wearing a wrestling or comic tee. I don't even own one. This guy said the location was in the front of the store. Of course there is nothing in the front, so I searched around for another employee. This time I found someone more helpful who checked the back. I have no clue why some employees see a street date. I had no issue at checkout. I think there may be some confusion between a street date and a shelf date? The second Target I went to was in reset with a shelf location. They are about 40 minutes away. I made it just in time to see a guy walk out through the doors with possibly four or more. The shelf was empty. ![](https://i.imgur.com/oBLKEU5.jpg?2)

I picked up the Cobra Trooper and the new Roadblock from the new set at Target today. They might be street dated, but they were already on the pegs and I had no issue checking out at all.

Checked two Targets at lunch time, and no sign of the new GI Joe figures. Popfinder showed Roadblock and Beach Head in stock at these two stores.
One store was in the middle of a reset. Some scalper guy was bugging the employees about some other stuff, something about Stan Lee (?), so I didn't bother asking about Joes. The scalper guy had a basket full of figures. Some Pops! and some DC Multiverse blue Batmans. I didn't see any GI Joe figures at all at this store.
The other store had some of the series 1 GI Joes figures on the pegs, but none of the Cobra Island set.
Side note, my series 1 GI Joe figures are finally in processing from the Toy Store that is Big and Bad. Yay!

Hasbro now announcing Cobra Island figures will be available in store and online 8/1. I'm going to keep an eye out on popfindr right now, but I hope I can get it online. Especially Baroness.

You have to find a Target associate that doesn't look at the date on their handheld because the register doesn't stop you from buying. Unless some stores have the street date info in their system, while others don't? No stores in my area of popfindr (9 stores) have gotten stock of Roadblock.

I’ve yet to see anyone on all of social media say they were stopped at the register since it changed. It’s been all employees refusing because they’re “street dated”

went to 4 Target's today, all of them in the middle of their complete toy reset, however i saw tags up on empty pegs next to the transformers that said GIJ
Two of them said GIJ CARP BEE & GIJ MAYFLY
zero clue what that might be related to, so i took pictures of the DPCI
CARP BEE dpci takes you to cobra trooper, and MAYFLY takes you to roadblock from the new set

I'm not talking about hard street dates set by manufacturers, but those arbitrary ones that Target self-imposes...and this is also part of the overall problem. Hasbro: "Come get new Joe figures at Target on August first!" Target: "LOL get hugged" I have seen people bring up electronic media, and I can't say I disagree with it. If you can have an associate stock new movies and games on a specific date, why can't you have an associate put out a case of figures on a specific date?

All I know is I hope how NECA does Toka/Rahzar works perfectly, and other companies follow suit...cause these exclusives hitting stores have been pretty nightmarish for everyone...

You know we're going to have people bitching on November 1 about how they don't have their toys, but yeah, you're absolutely right. I hope this goes very smoothly. And really, by all accounts, it should. It seems simple. You have a week to get your order in. Then you wait and NECA ships them in November.

So I was on & off the fence about GI Joe Declassified.
I was having trouble getting SE(missed loads of the preorders) and I wasn't doing this without him. So Today I got him... Next up is Roadblock...then Gung Ho.
No Duke or Scarlett... Im a Flint & Lady Jaye kinda guy.
Cant wait for Snake Eyes to arrive.

Flint is my favorite also, but Duke is a very close second.
