This may be common knowledge, I kind of live in my own little no free time parenthood world, but does anyone know if and when Hasbro will ever make more 30th anniversary figures. It seems like they made very few of these and it doesn't make sense to me. Are they finished forever or just in a holding pattern until all this retaliation stuff is gone? Mainly Airtight, Lifeline, Sci-Fi, and Law and Order are the figures I'm concerned with.

Thanks for any info.

There is potential for these figures to pop into the Toy line as Retaliation Toys make their way onto store shelves... Hasbro has not said what will happen after the Movie...and I think what, if anything, will happen will depend LARGELY on the success of the movie.

Thanks for responding. I can't see paying $20 or $30 a piece for these figures on ebay or amazon. I guess I'm just gonna have to cross my fingers and hope Hasbro wants to make money by selling more of them and that the movie is a success and drives up interest in GI Joe.

Dusty, have you tried asking around if people could hook you up at cost+shipping? That's how I got my figures from the final wave.

Sorry I misunder stood your question... Figures that you are looking for have been produced...what has been produced has been shipped to distributers... It's all up to the supply chain to get the product out.


Look to stores other than your Big 3 (Walmart, Target, TRU) if the brand's history shows us anything it's that product will eventually show up at some store or another. Check TJ Maxx, Ross, Gabriel bros, etc. Giant Eagle grocery stores have been seen with Joes, also Ollies...Kohles will be one to watch during the holiday season...

Jay, I will look into those other stores mentioned by nova, thanks nova, and if that fails perhaps ask around on here. I have heard of people finding them at Rite Aid and Walgreens, but they are $15 there. I have 4 custom vehicles in my head that involve building around these 4 figures. But my current project is a beast and is taking a long time. So its a little ways off before I'll need them. I'll give it some more time to see if they hit the stores again. Thanks

I pretty much traded off what I had extra, but I had got a whole mess of these for cheap a few months back when my Kroger clearanced their entire Joe section. I'm talking ridiculous priced clearance.

I wish you posted this 2 weeks ago - these figures popped back up again all over here. I might still be able to find an airthight, I'll check for you.

I was checking Amazon last night, and AT, SciFi, & Lifeline were all available for pretty reasonable price, but L&O was outrageously high. Still- I saw all of them except Lifeline at my TRU a couple of weeks ago (gone now), so you might still have some luck if other folks find them in their areas.

Matthew, who posted above is helping me out. I must live in a dead zone or where people buy GI Joe as soon as it hits the shelves. My TRU doesn't even have any Retaliation stuff left. All they have is about 5 each of Renegades Ripcord and Renegades Scarlett.

Ditto.

As well as POC stuff.




And the Legends Of The Arashikage multipack. That one, above all others.
