I feel the pain, buddy. Did your targets ever put out their waves 2-3?
Last time I checked, mine were still milking their wave 1s

Nice, I have only ever found one blue one. Stopped at a target today, it was wave 1 slim pickings there. Guess they are not going to learn. Perhaps target will just skip over waves 2-3 and go straight for the wave four action.

did find a sandstorm lando there. guess I was too late for the rest of that wave.

I did find another blue retaliation trooper last week, or was it two?

Found all of the 2nd wave of Dollar General Store joes today except for shipwreck. Funny, he is usually a peg warmer, this version must look pretty cool. Well, they had a wave 1 cobra trooper to replace the shipwreck so I was pleased. Shawn, the cards were all crushed. I could use more of the cobra trooper and storm shadow figures from wave two if you run into any.
I took a couple of loose pics to show the alternate color palate for these two.



sorry about the fuzzy cobra trooper shot. I must have been quivering with excitement.

YEP, dollar general. Seems like I had heard a month ago that they were turning up in another store but I can remember which one. I had told Spry.

Just stopped by WM to see if anything new had arrived, the pegs were a wash with Wave 1 retaliation, so much for the idea that wave 1 would be done by now, darnint.  at least if I want to build Red Ninjas I can.

As some of you know, I am in ft myers Florida on vacation now. Naturally, I have been checking to see what the action figure situation is down here.
Walmart had the same wave 1 crap " I think that hasbro may have repeated the phantom menace mistake here in which case we may not see waves four and beyond because wave one clogs the pegs", target had 1 wave 1 figure but the showdown packs were still only $20,
K mart had no joes and no peg space for joes "losers" and the dollar store had wave 1 stuff " I got a cobra trooper"
Tru gets the prize for having something newer as I walked out of there with a joe Colton and a cyber ninja.
I will try to hit a walgreens and see if they have any poc/tac stuff left down here.

Phantom Menace, Indiana Jones, Iron Man 2, Cap, Thor, any more that we can think of.  Course you say something to certain people telling them you see the problem all over the country as you travel and they say "It's just a local problem."  Even though 20 people from 20 states will also chime in with the same problem. 

Sorry, is my cynicism showing.

After hitting a couple more, I snagged a steel brigade to bring home.
