BBTS/ Sentinel Re-Paint
 

Whether you actually want it or not isn't the question.

The question is, whats the over/under that it actually SHIPS in the given "November 2011" timeframe?

With the recent lag in the MU line? I'm saying no chance. (I have one on pre-order.)

This is supposed to hit retail as well, correct?

Well the Galactus repaint last year never did, so if that pattern holds true...unless otherwise stated?

It only hit the local comic shops and BBTS I think.

The galactus variant sat on tru.com at 49.99 for well over a month. I remember going back and forth on it forever. Then it finally went away. This may do the same, but I expect it to go a lot faster.

I wonder if these will show up at discount stores. GI joe 7-packs that were online exclusives eventually did.

I doubt it. I never saw Those Joe packs or Dark Galactus at retail. I preorderd two of these bad boys a month ago when they first annouonced them and I can't wait for them to be available.

I saw a Dark Galactus at a specialty shop in El Paso, but that's it.

Ollie's had the Attack and Defense of Cobra Island sets. Marshall's had the Extreme Conditions sets last holiday season.

Rite Aid had the extreme Condition sets for $9 last year & EE Exclusive Tie Fighters.

I'm in Canada, and I'm seeing Dark Galactus at every Toys R Us I go to. In Vancouver the Toys R Us had 4 or 5 Dark Galactus'. So I think the Classic Sentinel will hit retail eventually, it's just going to take a good year or something. I have a feeling in 2012 it's going to be the only version of Sentinel I can fine.

I think it'll be an online/foreign market exclusive. The ones at my TRUs aren't moving at all.

I think whatever your experience was with Galactus (pertaining to everyone's location) will be the same with the Sentinel.

It's not going to hit retail because retail is already stocked with Sentinels (not classic colors, but they're still stocked). I don't think it has anything to do with it being exclusive to any stores.

I wasn't talking about it being an exclusive like it having a Walmart sticker on it and it being a prearrangement between Hasbro and the retailer, but, for all intents and purposes, it will be an online exclusive and/or exclusive to outside the US.
