In short, the SDCC Danger at the Docks set will likely be sold at the convention, and at toysrus.com exclusively. It appears that it will be available via their web-site, and not via their brick and mortar stores. Get your F5 finger ready.
Check out the comments from General Hawk (yojoe.com):
“Okay, just when we thought we had it all figured out, thanks to TRU.com, there seems to be more confusion now about exactly how the “Danger at the Docks” SDCC Exclusive 50th Anniversary set will be available.
Over on ToyArk.com a Press Release from Toys “R” Us was revealed, and within the context of that press release, there seems to be an indication that the “Danger at the Docks” G.I. Joe set will NOT be available in Toys “R” Us stores. This has caused some confusion because it’s been pretty widely reported (mostly by me) that this set would not strictly be sold at ComicCon itself.
As it turns out, the most likely result is both stories are true.
Previously there was a Faker/Bizarro 2-Pack from Mattel that was an SDCC Exclusive, but was also available at ToysRUs.com, but was NOT actually in brick & mortar stores. It sounds like that is likely what’s going to happen here. Considering TRU.com themselves has advertised that the Danger at the Docks set will be available online after ComicCon, but they’re also listing it as “Available Only at San Diego Comic-Con” in this latest press release, this sounds like the most likely result.
According to folks I’ve spoken with, the Faker/Bizarro 2 Pack was not especially difficult to get after ComicCon, and certainly far easier than dealing with Hasbro Toy Shop, but at the end of the day, I’d say if you want the Danger at the Docks set, be prepared to jump on it on TRU.com and don’t sit and wait for it to show up at Brick & Mortar.”

Toys R Us has announced that the SDCC/TRU exclusive Danger at the Docks set will go on sale at www.toysrus.com on July 24th. The set that will be sold via TRU is the exact same exclusive set that will be sold at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con.

Toy News International has made the announcement below:
“During Toy Fair in February, it was announced that Hasbro would be releasing an exclusive SDCC version of the G.I.Joe 50th Anniversary “Danger At The Docks” set which is coming to Toys R’ Us and etailers later this year. The SDCC exclusive version will be packaged with a Cobra Night Raft like the regular version and come with a Vamp and Flint figure painted in vintage colors like we saw back in the 80’s (see below). Due to lack of news on the SDCC set since then, some speculated that it had been canceled but we have confirmation from Hasbro that in fact it is still coming as an SDCC exclusive next month. Stay-tuned for an official announcement and new images.”
And to clear up whether or not this EXCLUSIVE set will be released at Toys R Us, listen to General_Hawk from yojoe.com:
“Hasbro’s Public Relations firm has made available the high resolution press photos for the ComicCon 2014 “Danger at the Docks” set. This set begins as an SDCC Exclusive, but then should be available at Toys “R” Us following the debut in San Diego.
I know there has been some confusion about the availability of this set, but as first reported right here on YoJoe, the intention is for this set to be available at Toys “R” Us following its release at SDCC. You can find some images below, including a great shot of some brand new accessories built just for this set!”
