Question on HOH:

1. What stores are carrying them? I have only found them at FYE, and signs at TRU to go to TRU.com. Is Wal-mart/Target/K-mart going to have them on pegs?

2. What is the MSRP? FYE had them for $12.99, TRU.com had them for $9.99.

3. Is there any diffencce between 5-pack figs and HOH (Zartan, SS, SE, Viper, Flint)?

Thanks

I was under the impression that these were "internet only" figures. So I don't know if any brick and mortar stores (Target, Wal-Mart, etc.) are getting them.


There are a few differences that I know of.

Storm Shadow, I believe is just a coloring thing. The 5-pack version had some grey paint added to it, the HOH version is colored like the V1 SS, with no grey.

Snake Eyes looks to be using the original 25a visor head, instead of the DVD pack head that the 5-pack figure uses.

The 5-pack Zartan has that funky "angry" coloring, from the cartoons. Where he would glow pink-ish and make lightsaber sounds when he got mad. The HOH version is just his regular classic color scheme.

I've seen them in a FYE store also, but went to another one closer to where I live and didn't see any there, so I'm thinking it's spotty distribution at best.

Also, the zartan has a slightly green'ish tint to his armor in the HOH version.

They're also available at Suncoast stores. But TRU.com probably has the best price. Almost broke down and grabbed a Storm Shadow yesterday, but I decided to pass.

TRU has listed them online, but I haven't seen them yet at retail. I'm on the fence about buying them.
I think they're meant to be the equivalent of those Vintage packed star wars figs. So they should be everywhere.
The Cobra Island 7 packs will probably be Internet only.

I think HoH SEv2 also has the right forearm from the DVD version. The 5 pack has a new slightly bent version.
Flint has the the different head and paint apps.

Snake-Eyes *is* the DVD pack figure, with the Wave 2 visor head.

His torso is the same ol' repainted Snake-Eyes/O13 torso from the start of the line, evidenced by the ribbed collar. The 2009 5-pack Snake-Eyes had a featureless torso sculpt, and completely different forearms.

Hall of Heroes is generally internet only. Other than Suncoast/FYE (which are the same company IIRC) they will not be available in brick and mortar retailers.

thanks, I am going to go ahead and do a TRU order for just the few that I like.
