While I myself live in Delaware (the state), my g/f is currently staying with her family in Springfield, Ohio. She called in to tell me that the TRU in Beavercreek had wave 1 Retaliation figures, and Target had nothing (per norm now it seems).

Add Elyria TRU to the list of stores with single figure shipments.
Two solid pegs of wave 1 Snake Eyes. |

I am tired of nothing, and no one at TRU having any idea of when they may get something.

The only good news to report is I bought the GI Joe Mobile Command Center (spytroops 2003) version from a tanker in columbus this weekend and found the repainted DG Storm Shadow! No much else going on out there in the retail world. Still looking to pick up two more Eaglehawks when the time comes.

This seems like an all-time low for action figure collecting and I'm honestly wondering how much longer I even want to be a part of this. |

I was tempted to get one the other day with my 15% coupon, but honestly, I think my morale is way down right now due to the fumbling of the Retaliation line and the overall suckiness of the SW lines, so I passed.
This seems like an all-time low for action figure collecting and I'm honestly wondering how much longer I even want to be a part of this. Dont worry BigJim, that all time low will come back again and stronger than ever! I'm not to thrill with the Retaliation either, but I'm still keeping my hopes on this 3.5 and 4 waves! For now, just been picking up some 25th ive missed and vintage Joes and that seems to pick up my morale for Joes. As for Transformers, just got MP Acid Storm and Soundwave so Im done with them for awhile, and i was burn out on starwars from the 80's, 90's and some 00's and not sure what hasbro really wants to do with the Starwars line up. I mean im sick of seeing Darth Maul in every toy isle! I'm strickly a Vader fan and Mara Jade but cant stand Darth Maul. I would like to pick up a new AT-AT walker, i had one as a kid and had a power of the force one until my niece broke it and had to return it to Kaybee toys and they didnt have any left!! |

I'm just frustrated.
They basically just 'released' the best figures they've made since POC and now Target, WM, and Kmart have thumbed their noses at the line. Unless drug stores or discount stores pick these up, our only hope is TRU, who responded by stocking a dozen of the same identical figure at different stores. I happened to get lucky and preorder a lot of what I wanted from HTS, but my history with them tells me I'll probably get all the wave one counterparts for the figures I ordered, and I'll never even see the Combat Ninja in stock on their site. |

Fear not [too much, anyway...]. Mentor TRU that featured a dozen wave 1 figures DID actually restock with w3.5 sometime this past weekend. There was a lone Ultimate Firefly still hanging on the pegs yesterday. I assume the rest of his kin folk were there at some point as well.

This sounds promising! But i've said it before and ill say it again wave 3.5 wont fully arrive in mass until September sometime. I remember last year when Hasbro said the samething about the 30th Crimson Hiss tank and the VAMP MKII. August was the targeted month and this two didnt show up until October/November time frame. And some places didnt see them at all! Either Hasbro is behind or its back to distribution issues again which i thought Hasbro spoke to Walmart and other retailers about stocking Joes. |
