Walmart has updated their website for the upcoming G.I. Joe Retro Line and has made some interesting changes to the listings. HISSTANK Boards Member Jtprime17 once again flexed his cybersleuthing skills to decode all the juicy info for the fans.
First of all, we have the wave breakdown:
Wave 1:
Wave 2:
Wave 1 is likely to be revealed very soon since the original data has been scrubbed from the website; a common practice by Walmart near a reveal date. It is likely that these will be revealed on the July 17th Walmart Collector Con.
Additionally, our user informs us that the Walmart system is now displaying an October 1st shipping date for the Retro Line.
Walmart’s official website has been updated with an advert, announcing exclusive G.I. Joe reveals to coincide with an event titled Walmart Collector Con.
The reveals are planned to happen on July 17th at 10am EST.
While we do not have a confirmation on what G.I. Joe items will be revealed, it is likely that this is for the elusive and possible Walmart exclusive G.I. Joe Retro Line.
Some of the exclusive brand reveals:
Once again thanks to Panjiva Shipping, we have yet another shipment of G.I. Joe Retro Line on its way to Hasbro Inc. Providence, RI.
This time, the 6-piece case assortment is full of just one particular figure; Snake Eyes (code name: Tarantula).
This “assortment” is identical to such a listing for the Pulse Exclusive Classified Series Snake Eyes; where the assortment only contained just one figure, indicating that this Retro Snake Eyes may very well be distributed on its own as an exclusive on Pulse.
There are 6 Retro Line Snake Eyes figures for one case and there are 1056 such cases in one shipping container. There are undisclosed amount of multiple containers with the same description within the ship’s cargo.
