I saw three cases of wave one put out today, 2 at Walmart and 1 at a Kmart. I'm thinking since the demand is there, we"ll see all three waves making appearances through the holidays.

I hope so cause it gets pretty frusterating trying to hunt them down and get nothing in return.I remember going to lionel playworld when I was young and you could find so much Joe stuff it was crazy.I hope around or after the movie it could be close to what it was when we all grew up with Gi Joe stuff being cranked out and put out.

I would wait. I pre-ordered mine from BBTS but found a case at a Wal-Mart 16 miles away when I was delivering something for work Saturday (not a work day for me but the customer needed it fast). I bought all five. I went to another Wal-Mart a little over 30 miles away Sunday and found four cases. I bought all four Cobra Troopers and another Serpentor, the eyes on my first were two different sizes. They look like they will be easier to find than Wave 1. Then again with Wave 3 already out maybe you should put in a pre-order for them just in case. E-bay should be your last option though.

Does BBTS pre-ordering gaurantee eventual delivery?
The hunt for Wave 1 wore me out. I got lucky with Wave 2 and nabbed the only two decent figures of that wave in store on 9/28. |

I got wave 1 from BBTS but it all depends on how many they get in. If you pre-order you should get them though. The problem they had with the Cobra Officer was because of bad information about case quantities of the figure. They get more than one shipment in for most items so if they don't have enough for the pre-orders for the first shipment then they will get more later.
It would be a good idea to place a pre-order so you will have something to fall back on if you can't find them at retail. You can alway cancel the order before it ships or you can use the Pile-Of-Loot shipping so that you can ship everything you order at once and tell them when to ship it. If they get it in stock and you cancel the order I think you only get store credit though but I'm not entirely sure of that. At any rate it is better to be safe than sorry. The price is a little higher then retail for 5 figures but it could be cheaper than e-bay. Welcome to the boards by the way.

You would think that with the holidays coming, at some point all three waves will be easily found. At least that would make sense from good business standpoint. Hasbro on the other hand...

Good luck finding your figures! it takes patience really. if you miss out, don't worry. it will pop up, when you least expect it. also, i hunt them around stores, coz it gives me a chance to look at hot moms shopping. ehehehehehehe.... Yo JOE!!!!!!
