The Walmart computers have been glimpses into “what could’ve been” in the past, showing listings for items that were planned, then subsequently canceled. For example, years back, they had a listing for a Transformers Alternators Cadillac XLR Megatron. That was just one of many other notable items that were listed but never saw the light of day at retail.
HissTank boards member ViperCommando has given us another glimpse into what could’ve been via the Walmart computers once more. This time we have a list of figures planned for the GI Joe 30th Anniversary line:
- KWINN
- DATA-VIPER
- CRIMSON GUARD
- NIGHT-VIPER
- MODERN FLINT
As for Kwinn, Data Viper and Modern Flint, who knows? Since the Crimson Guard and Night Viper got moved into the Retaliation line, will the 3 unaccounted for figures eventually see the light of day as well?
Viper Commando says
Wal Mart I work at finished it's toy reset. Now have 3-4 pegs for Joes! First time we'll be carrying Joe since the end of ROC.
Scanned the empty pegs with a telxon and they showed an on hand of 40+ figures. ROC/POC/30th figures are all cross referenced in the store inventory system, so until the leftover ROC inventory is sold we probably won't be getting any new Joes until the Retaliation line launches.
On a side note, I did find the following figures listed in the system:
KWINN
DATA-VIPER
CRIMSON GUARD
NIGHT-VIPER
MODERN FLINT
My guess is that these were suppossed to be the next wave of 30th figures before Hasbro scrapped them due to Retalliation's release getting moved up a month.

Probably be lucky to see any product before Retaliation hits...
KWINN
DATA-VIPER
CRIMSON GUARD
NIGHT-VIPER
MODERN FLINT
GODDAMMIT!

Well, that DOES confirm the CG and Night Viper as being 30th leftovers...but a modern Flint?
GODDAMMIT!

Was this suppose to be the so-called "mystery wave" that was mentioned months ago? This thread just made me sick to my stomach.

Dawg99 says
damn would of been a great wave really wanted all of them
damn you hasbro
Lifeline_MD says
Would have bought at least one of all. probably more.
That said, given we've already seen the CG and NV I would bet we'll get all of these within 2 years.
There's only been a couple repaints that haven't made it out eventually.
Nirvana says
I want to see what Flint looked like. I've gotten god damn tired of slapping Flint heads on various Duke figures to keep him up with the rest of the team (which for some reason is a lot of DUKE and SNAKE-EYES for every theme.)
