OH, has several DG stores, restock every thurs...

This could be great information. I wonder if all the stores restock on the same day?

Btw, checked two more here in Knoxville, TN. Nothing yet.


My guess is that they do not all restock on Thursday, as the store at which I found my set didn't have any available when I checked last Thursday.


My stores get their shipments on Fridays. I think it varies by location/region.


Fridays are the shipping day in Vegas too.
Stores usually unpack the totes first ( that's were the little joe box will be ).
So if you get someone there nice enough to look in the back save them the time and let them know that they arrived in the totes.


Once I figured that out they were more apt to look for me.

Any word on what other stores are supposed to get these? I heard family dollar.

So Thursday are unpacking in Ohio, Friday in Vegas.

Dollar General is based out of Tennessee, so I'm wondering if unpacking dates are based on where the distribution center is.

Edit, just found this http://www2.dollargeneral.com/DG-Career ... cator.aspx

I don't think there have been any information about which actual stores will get them, only that the wave is intended for "discount chain" type stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar. I've certainly speculated that Family Dollar is a possible destination, and it makes sense considering that they've had some previous Joe and other Hasbro offerings (including the recent Marvel single-carded driver assortment that is also at Dollar General). However, until there are any actual sightings there, it is speculation at best.

justifying the trip to a part of town that has a dollar general just to pick them up.

I FOUND THE RARE VARIANT DUKE WITH SNAKES EYES INSERT!!!!!!!

Now that I've sounded like a Hot Wheels collector, one of the two DGs by my work had all six this morning. Bought all but Shipwreck and SE. Now, the question becomes when will they restock.

As much as I'd like to get a few more black Cobras, I'd be happy just getting a few more Dukes for fodder.

Anyone get Duke? Is his rifle a new weapon or has it been used previously?

I doubt Hasbro would create a new weapon for these sets.

I also tried to get them to order a case but they would not do it for me.

That rifle was used at least as far back as 2004, included with a staggering amount of Comic 3-Packs and TRU 6-packs.


And Duke from the Red Star comic 2-pack had it.
