Wave 1 was awesome though, and Wave 3 will be insane again.
Trust me, you're not alone on this one. The Renegades SE is mostly Resolute Snake Eyes with PoC Commando SE headsculpt and some new accessories that look downright silly. Hasbro dropped the ball hard over the last four waves of 3.75" Joes (PoC Waves 5 & 6 and 30 Anniversary Waves 1 & 2). They aren't using any new tooling for the majority of the figs which is really lazy. I'm not even all that concerned with looking for these since the overall feeling from some collectors is that they aren't that great, so they'll be easy to find next month.

Plus they look more like the current comic line which I prefer to the original comic series.
This differs from what I'm hearing. Currently, we haven't received a Snake Eyes better than PoC Commando Snake Eyes from Wave 3. I cant wait to see them in store to judge but I'll most likely get all four since they aren't horrible but could have been much better.

These four most likely won't hit shelves until closer to the release of the movie figures next summer. Knowing our luck from how Joes show up in retail here in MD, most places will continually get the first two waves of 30th Anniversary /Renegades figures and won't bother to reorder Joes after Christmas time has passed. So if Walmart doesn't decide to keep Joes again next year, our best bet in getting Techno Viper, Sci-Fi, Law & Order, Airtight and Lifeline is through BBTS or Smalljoes.

Not sure how "right around the corner" those guys are, either, since Hasbro said next year for them. :(
Yeah, no where is really stocking the newer Joes like that and its almost October. I think we may see the Renegades figures surface next month at Target, TRU and Walmart, but it would be too much of a stretch to think a third wave will be here by Christmas.

100% likely. Thats why I'm sending stores complaints about Joes being out of stock for far too long. If there is no consumer demand for it there's no telling if your closest big retail store will even bother restocking until the movie comes out next year.
On another note, I picked up Thor: The Mighty Avenger Hogun and Fireblast Destroyer from Target today. Destroyer is garbage, the light up feature already stopped working after pressing the abdomen button four times.....
