I dunno. Hard to say since I have been to 3 places. However, the most common I have seen is Heavy Duty and Ripcord in all 3 stores. Oh baroness looks screwed up. I am not paying $8 so I can get her shades. Figure does not give her justice unlike the artwork.

It's too early to talk about peg warmers.
After 8 days, at my local Zellers (Canadian equivalent of Target or KMart), the singles that are left in the greatest numbers are Breaker and Neo-Viper. All the Zartans, Shipwrecks, Ripcords, Scarletts, Viper Commandos and Snake Eyes are gone. Destro, Baroness, Desert Duke and Storm Shadows are few and far between. This line is selling, at least in my neck of the woods... OB |

Well I went to TRU on July 4th and with the exception of SE/SS and Baroness. Every figure was on the pegs.
It seems that with the exception of the main characters, scalpers are skipping this. My TRU has scalpers that come every morning and clear out the good figures, but there are simply too many figures in the RoC line. Ebay already has 734 listings of RoC figures alone. Unless you get the main guys, your not going to make a quick buck. |

I've been able to find all the early-wave stuff except for Baroness.
Seeing Heavy Duty and Breaker most of all among pegwarmers. I've only seen the Ice-Viper and Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes in one store. |

For my area in Australia, pegwarming something fierce are Heavy Duty, Breaker and Neo-Vipers. But then again, they pretty much still have a full selection at other stores. It's just those three I keep seeing in abundance.

I went to a Target yesterday and they had 2 end caps full of ROCs plus the regular spot for Joes in the action figure aisles. There are several of each fig except for ice-viper, hawk, duke. We'll see who's left after a week or so...

Probably the only legitimate claim for peg-warmers. They've been out is Australia for over 2 weeks now, right? For us, they're either out since the 4th or stores are waiting until the 10th. To speculate now is silly.

I find it funny how people compare Star Trek to Joe and use ST or T4 as benchmarks for how well Joe will do.
If you really use ST or T4 then you really don't pay attention, sorry, but ya don't... ST and T4 are not "toy" movies, meaning they aren't meant for the market that will go out and buy a ton of toys, like Transformers and G.I. Joe is. Indiana Jones was the same way. A toyline that did not benefit from a "toy" movie. Transformers and Joe are nothing but big giant commercials for the toys. ST and T4, the planned majority of the toy market would be the adult collectors. If some kids picked 'em up, great, but they weren't meant to run out of the theatres and go "Mommy!! Buy me T4 toys NOW!!".
