Someone on the boards, I don't remember who, said that he emailed Hasbro to find out. Apparently it stands for Global Distribution Operations or something like that. I'm not sure why it says global since Europe is still getting the shaft and there's been no word of South America or Africa getting anything special. It may as well be called Asia Distribution Operations

Then why call them "Exclusives" when you bring them to the US?
I don't get it, since Asia gets whatever the Western side gets... Earlier, in some case.
GDO, more like gawd damned overpriced. Let me remind you of the $23.40 US these cost in Asia.

That's weird considering my local TRU is selling the deluxe GDO figures for LESS then the regular generations deluxes.

Likewise. GDO Deluxe class is a buck or two cheaper than Prime Deluxe Class. And I think the FOC's are priced inbetween the two. Not sure on the details but toledo TRU's are selling deluxe class figures at 3 different prices.
