G.I.Joe The Rise Of Cobra exclusive toys sale hauls
As a follow up to my blog post yesterday about my G.I.Joe the Rise of Cobra (ROC) vehicle toys sale hauls, here some more of the heavily discounted ROC toys I’ve picked up this week from OG for a collector who is overseas.
I didn’t buy all these ROC toys and those I posted about yesterday in one trip. Most of my ROC toy hauls were “surprise catches”, meaning I went to the store to pick up other common ROC toys, but was lucky enough to meet the new discounted stocks being put out for sale!
This is supposed to be an overseas Toy “R” Us (TRU) exclusive, but the Hasbro delivery guy removed every TRU sticker off each box before displaying them in OG, LOL! There are 5 pcs of 3.75-inch figures and a black Mole Pod vehicle in this box set, all for SGD 24.90 only! Of course every piece of toy in there are repainted versions in some way or another.
Nevertheless, the main characters like Duke and Ripcord are included, plus you get a Neo Viper Officer, a black repaint of normal Neo Viper and a G.I.Joe Pit Trooper! All for about SGD 5.00 per figure, while you get the Mole Pod for free! I find the glossy black Mole Pod here nicer looking than the single pack version.

@ SGD 14.90 each.
Hmmm, what can I say for this ROC Senior Ranking Officers 3-pack? Suitable for troop building? They are all repaints (as usual). The bronze colored Delta 6 Accelerator Suit looks rather interesting. Perhaps it can serve as a prototype upgraded suit or something similar. Sgt. Stone is great, if you don’t have him yet.

@ SGD 14.90 each.

This is a very cool looking ROC Deluxe 2-pack. I would give the bike to Scarlett so that she can join in the Paris Pursuit street chase with her team to save the Effel Tower. The Snake Eyes figure can go train with the other Joe figures who are dressed in similar blue camou uniforms. There were still 2 more pieces of this ROC Snake Eyes with Bike when I left the store that day.
There was also a rather nice looking ROC Storm Shadow repaint (white w/some red stripes) on a similar white bike. However the last piece I saw there had some paint job defects on Storm Shadow. The rest were grabbed by a local ”Alpha Pack” G.I.Joe collectors clique I encountered that day. They “swooped in” for the “kills” as soon as these ROC Deluxe 2-packs were unboxed by the Hasbro delivery guy…
@ SGD 15.00 each.

Okay, this is one ROC toy that no one competed for. Incidentally, it also happens to be one of the discounted ROC toys most worth picking up, and it’s quite numerous in number too (nearly 50 pcs there). All the boxes were sealed. The Hasbro delivery guy was helpful enough to slice open a box to let me view the 2 exclusive figures contained inside. His kind gesture was much appreciated, thanks!
The San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) 2009 Exclusive ROC McCullen-Destro box set is very interesting. I saw this set being sold during Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention (STGCC) last year. The retail price back then was a hefty SGD 59.90, and it was a TRU exclusive here. Now the same set is on clearance sale for only SGD 15.00! Since I have the chance to examine it up close, I shall take more photos of it and post them here tomorrow!
Update: The above toys were indeed there on sale as of 15 January 2010. On any date after that, I cannot guarantee. You’ve got to go there and find out yourself.

AGH! why they put Snake eyes with that camo pants?! Spoil the figure!
Hi Juliana,
What have you bought for yourself beside Exclusive ROTC McCullen-Destro box set?
Hi lamehui,
Thanks for the link up! It’s great to know more fellow toy collectors. Happy toy collecting to you!
Hi LEon,
I like the bike more than than the Snake Eyes figure. SE still looks ok, like he’s in traning attire rather than full battle suit. Anyway people still buy him cos he’s SE!
Hi Hippo,
The McCullen-Destro box set is also bought for the same collector. This was the same ’sample’ box set opened by the Hasbro delivery guy for me at the store. I took it since I found the paint job satisfactory
Looking at the stash of ROC toys sitting in my room for the past week, they are beginning to grow on me. I realise that there are so many more Cobra vehicles! And I like the ‘BBQ stingray’ a lot, wish I can find another piece like that!
