I would say definately yes. Went to toys r us, walmart and target today. All had retaliation figures, 3 packs and vehicles restocked. Was looking for a black cobra commander but picked up a hiss to do another custom paint job on.

Wait?! Walmart has gotten something. Stop all other news this is big. Walmart actually got something in. My Walmarts rarely gets anything Joe and when they do I miss it. Then its a matter of waiting 5 more months for something new.

Walmart isn't restocking. They may have uncovered previously buried ready stock, but Walmart went ass-out on recalling Joe when the movie was cancelled. If it wasn't already shelved or palleted to be shleved, they sent it back.

This.
My local Walmart got one case in of wave 1. Its all gone now and the pegs are bare.
Gonna hazard to guess that K-Mart isn't going to restock. Not sure if they would if they had the product though, since they suck at stuff like keeping their stores looking good.
Not sure about TRU yet, haven't been to many. Target definitely so.

Empty pegs at walmarts around here, but target has restocked a couple of times and are starting to get buried in roadblocks.

Checked Target today and they had pegs full of wave one. Sadly, I only went there to buy the Dojo set and I didn't have the money to blow on any single figs. :(
Don't know how or why but Target was fully loaded.

One of my Wal-Marts shrunk the 4 pegs of Joes down to 1 peg after the lone case of Retaliation sold (mostly to me, quickly). Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes and Roadblock remain, along with a POC SS that reappeared from somewhere.
Target still has nearly full pegs of everyone except CC, Joe Trooper and Red Ninja.
TrU has 1 peg also. They've restocked once, as far as I know.

I checked two Walmarts today. The first looked like they had just unloaded a single box of wave 1; they had two each of Roadblock, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and one of each of the rest. I snagged the Joe Trooper and left the rest. The second Walmart had nothing. Both stores hadn't previously stocked anything as far as I know, and I stop by both of them routinely on the way home from work.

Both tru & target this past week set up Retaliation end caps and restocked everything. Walmart is at a standstill.

I'd like to add that, meijer, the place that put out cases early, at 5 or 6 stores, have nothing out now.
Target restocked,
tru has 3 pegs of 30th/ren figures and 1 for ret. And have restocked at leased twice.
Walmart has not restocked around here.
I think meijer is still waiting for the original release date ?

My Walmart finally got/put Retaliation stuff out the other night, all that was left last night was Roadblock, Snake Eyes, Zartan, Duke, Storm Shadow and black Cobra Commander, multiples of both SE & Firefly bikes and the Battle Kata gun play thingy x4 or 5.
Someone nailed the troop builders already so not sure if it was another collector (no one in the area that I know of other than Star Wars collectors though) or a Walamrt employee who also scalps on ebay maybe?
Target has been restocking wave one, Joe Troopers are usually missing. Walmarts only have the dumb cycles and role play stuff. Tru has snake eyes, Stormshadow, and roadblock. Every other figure is missing.

If Target is smart they will keep restocking and just send back all the pegwarmers. I have never even seen a Joe Trooper yet.

That is unfortunate. You need to own one. They aren't too badly priced online.

As far as I can tell for my area, Wal-Marts and Targets are not restocking but Toys R Us did.

I am beginning to hope that Hasbro realizes by selling through all their stock of wave 1 that it would be a colossal error to re-release wave 1 next year. As is, if I remember correctly, wave 2 is much a wave 1 rehash anyway - with some new figures thrown into the mix. Right now, the army builders are selling quite well, the named figures are definitely slowing down in sales, and the vehicles are a mixed bag - some selling, some not.
I do hope Hasbro keeps some kind of Joes in stock in stores for the next 9 months or I can easily see them refuse to sell the figures again. The early stock sold through because of the novelty but now, when nothing backing these figures and vehicles, they will have to stand on their own. It would be wise for Hasbro to get something to entice sales, otherwise SS, SE, CC, Roadblock and Duke are going to fill pegs for quite some time.

Near me TRU has restocked once and Target twice. Walmarts and Kmarts never got any singles just the bikes and stupid playsets. The Red Ninjas, Joe Troopers and Zartan have been no where to be found.
Most Walmarts I've been in have been pretty much bare, Joe-wise. I was in TRU yesterday and they had a couple of Bravo Class vehicles, the pickings of the single figures and the motorbikes. I've only ever seen the 3-figure packs I snagged.

Haven't seen any restocking here in MD. Have not been heavily looking to be really honest. This might be one of the lightest Hasbro retail year for me.
Star Wars has been too little and too hard for me to find and MU hasn't put anything on the shelves since ???. Not doing Avengers and Spiderman, I feel like I already own versions all of those characters already.

My local Target has had a steady flow of the vehicles, the figs seem to be stuck on the Retaliation warmers at the moment. Hoping to snag a Black CC, but I haven't seen one in the last two weeks or so.

I saw blue CC at tru picked up the red Ninja and blue trooper. Never saw 3 packs at Walmart in fact out of 3 walmarts only seen 4 single carded. Target has been good to me. (brown troopers/black CC every time I've seen them at target)

My Toys Я Us seems to be restocking to some extent and possibly my Target as well.
My Walmart got two cases in and hasn't gotten anymore since. I'm surprised since they hardly held onto them long. According to one of the Stockers, some guy walked in and bought two of everything and I mean EVERYTHING. When I got there all that was left were two RB, SE, one Zartan, SS and Blue CC. I also noticed two empty spots with tags reading Ret. Veh. and GI Joe 3 Pk.
Why must Wal*mart do this to toy collectors?

My local Wm isn't. The Target is only restocking vehicles & 3-packs

My WM had one Snake Eyes and one Duke. The same two figures have been alone on the pegs for a week and a half. It doesn't look like there has been any movement at TRU.

I'm pretty sure my Toys R Us has restocked many times. I don't see how it is possible for me to get five of both Joe Troopers and Red Ninjas, plus all of the 3 packs over a month since they were released...
Target seems stocked up pretty well too around here, not as well as Toys R Us, but they still got a lot.
This is the most joe product I've ever seen on the shelves, honestly.
TRU didn't restock Retaliation, but had waves 3 and 4 of 30th/Renegades up
