Just like the title says. I'm just wondering if you have been able to acquire DG Joes through retail, eBay, or trades, etc.

Retail. I found the figures at 3 DG stores. I visited at least 10. Even if another collector beat me to most of the others I'm pretty sure not every DG got them. I left a couple figures on the racks. They were gone the next day.

Surprisingly the hardest figure to find for me was Duke. I only found one Duke while I found 3 Cobra troopers in the wild. I bought 2 of everything else and left a couple figures for others. No sign of restocking.

Called the only Dollar General in the entire Los Angeles, San Bernardino area and asked if they'd seen the new Joes. The cashier said that she just got in one box and didn't know where to put it, so I asked her to hold it for me.
I then drove the 20 miles there during my lunch break, bought all six figures (much to the amusement of the store's employees) and then drove back to work.

I found some like-minded individuals, and cultivated a lasting mutually respectable friendship with them. They are the ones that helped me get my set of DG Joes and have covered just about any wants or needs that I have had collecting wise, just as I have done for any of them.

Retail - Saw them twice at the same store within 10mi of my house. But one of two stores within 90 mi of me. Bought the one full set and grabbed only 2 (CT,SS) of the other set. (which I regret)
Then I had my mom search my hometown in PA. She finally found 4 of the 6 at that one (missing CT and SW). Had her buy them for me. (I feel sooo ashamed to have my mom still buy Joes for me....)

My town; which is small by the way, has two DG's on the same road less than a mile from one another. The older of the two got the Joes, but not the newer store.
I picked up SE, Cobra Trooper (Officer), Shipwreck and Duke; which I'm putting in my collection as Grunt given his lack of resemblance to any Duke figure.
They had CC left, but he's ME'H. I lost out on the Storm Shadow though.
They haven't restocked either.

I got a really cool story. I was on vacation when the DG Joes started showing up. I started calling all the DG stores in my area asking if they seen a small white box with 6 GI Joes inside. This lady that worked at the store remembered seeing one in the back room. I told her I wanted it and see actually when ahead and bought the set for me. She held the set for me until I got back from the beach. I offered to pay her extra, but see would would only take the correct amount.

I told this story before but since your asking.
I live in Miami FL and its a completely different culture here. I must of gone to 10, maybe 12 different stores over the first two weeks they started popping up. I was averageing 5 stores daily for 14 days. I had the UPC and would ask the staff but they never had it. When they finally got it they told me that they could not pull it out of the back room or truck or whatever. I had to come back and wait for it to be on the shelf. They couldnt hold it or order it even if I pre-paid for it. I had to come back. Thats the same every store told me "Come back on X-day and they should be out by then". Well I kept comming back but someone kept beating me to them. Every single day, every single store. "Oh I'm sorry, someone was just here and bought them all".
Finally I found 1 store that had just recieved them that very morning, the UPC confirmed they had it in stock but of course "you'll have to come back on Wednesday and they should be stocked by then".
I told the lady helping me out: Look, I've heard that already at every single store from here to 3 counties over and I keep getting beat to the goal.
She explained that Dollar General dossen't pull thing from the back, they are very understaffed and she did not have anyone to help me. I told her I respected her possition and that I also worked in retail. I said "I dont know how much you make an hour and I dont care but I'll give you 10 bucks for 2 minutes of your time to look through those totes and pull that box out for me".
She took the money happily, she got me the damn toys. We laughed about it and I even wrote a letter to Dollar General telling them how great she was and how helpfull she had been. I omitted the part about the 10 bucks to them, obviously.

I went to several of the multitudes of DGs in my general area and was met with nothing but a bunch of crap I didn't want. Considering I only want the trooper, it's not worth my time and gas to do more than casual searching. The eBay prices are ridiculous IMO.

None of the Dollar Generals by me had any. Some had no idea what they were, others stated that they were supposed to get them three months ago. I found a good price on eBay, so I went for it. Besides, with the price of gas, driving around looking for them in a store that may not have them, eBay is cheaper.

The day after I heard they were out I volunteered to have the oil changed in My wife's car so I could go hunt for them without driving 40 miles just to hunt for Joes. I hit about seven stores and only found CC, and SE. The last store I went to on my way home after I had given up had the whole set. Since then I have found one or two out of the way stores that had some of them. I left a SE, CC, and shipwreck at one store I'm planning going back for when I'm in the area. I sent some to tankers in need.

If Dollar General had equitable gender hiring you would also have been performing cunnilingus. That company should be ashamed of itself.

My wife and I had to go to a wedding ((I hate weddings)) in South Georgia and we happened to pass a dollar general on the way, we stopped just for the fun of it and lucky me, score!
The truly funny part is a women was adding them to the pegs as I walked in, I asked her if I could just take the whole box she replayed sure “because I have no idea where to put them, she then said make sure you tell the guy in the front that he needs to give you a coupon”. So it was an extremely nice find and wedding for me!!!!
This is the only time I have seen them. The word in Atlanta is there is one guy buying them all up and putting them on eBay.

So I just passed on the whole thing and hope they show up somewhere other than DG someday.

The week these started popping up I contacted the 11 stores near me and they all got them. I bought 3 cobra troopers and 1 shipwreck. Unfortunately I didn't have any money in my toy budget that week and thats all I could afford. They all sod out by next pay day a few days later. No stores have ever restocked since.
That sucks dude, sorry to hear this!
It's OK, really. I have no time to hunt them, so it's easier (and cheaper, plus less miles on my car) to just shell out the cash and have it delivered to my door. Also why it will be easier to just pay $35 for a red Jinx on ebay instead of waiting for HTS to restock.

I was able to pick up all but the Cobra Trooper on Ebay in one lot at a reasonable price plus shipping. I'm still looking in the local DG's but no luck thus far.

You guys should start to see then more, Now that they are part of the reset and in the plan-o-gram. If none of your stores in your area have them or more importantly don't have a peg for them then it would be beneficial to you to jump start the store. By that I mean bring in the UPC's (I have them if you need them) for the figures and have the manager order them. Be nice and they might help you out. It's been working for me :)

This is good advice. I've gotten 3 sets of them this way. Just make sure if you have them order them you pick them up when they get them in.

Is the manager putting them aside for you? My manager does and she calls me too when they come in.
I didn't mean to brag but If you guys can you should have them hold them for you.

I called the only dg near me, and its not that close, and they were supposedly going to put some back for me when they came in. Never heard from them. So I've gotten some from eBay and members here on the tank.

The Joes are always the first thing to go :) Congrats to you as well ! This is my first boy( I have 3 Daughters ) so we are excited. At least since it's a boy this time I can hang a couple sky strikers and the milennium falcon from the ceiling in his room. I am trying to talk my wife into letting me use the Flagg as a changing table but she isn't going for it .

been to 27 dollar generals in roughly 40 mile radius, scored enough complete sets, plus tons of random ones and about 15 troopers and 10 cobra commanders for crimson shadow guard. and the stores that didnt have them before have been putting them out.

Finally found all of them except for Cobra Commander at DG. They only had one of each. And I've been looking for months.

I got them all at the first Dollar General I checked, about a week ago. The cashier said they had just put them out, so I got very lucky.

With much luck, a new Dollar General opened up in my town yesterday. During the pouring rain, I walked in and bought a set, Kept Duke, selling the rest.

Picked up the Snake Eyes and Shipwreck...
The others I did not particularly care for.

I found Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper, Duke and Shipwreck at my local DG when they first came out. I had read that the DG's would only be getting one shipment, which bummed me out because I really wanted Storm Shadow. Over the weekend my DG got another shipment and I got Stormshadow!!! I was going to pick up Snake Eyes but I didn't like him in person. They are getting at least another shipment I would imagine, so go back and double check...
