I only found one or two figures at each store, weirdly.
At first I thought someone had beat me to the punch, but I didn't see a single cobra commander at seven stores! Each store literally had one or two of the wave. Still managed to score: 3 duke 1 storm shadow 1 cobra trooper. Really weird if you ask me.

That makes good sense then, unless someone around here has a pension for Cobra Commanders....
Good luck out there in Dallas, more collectors then there are stores...

im glad im not doing all that store hopping. 10 targets 10 walmarts and 10 marshals and 10 ross a couple of times a week.
i finally sold off all those figures that i chased so hard. the only thing that really paid off was all the boxed stingers and defence and attack sets i bought. I still keep seeing Wv1 restocks. I'd love to see grocery store chains give in to carrying these. Kroger has a real toy aisle still, be nice to swing in for some cereal and a cheap Joe at the same time.

Hmm, Dollar General wave 1 Joes shipped a full set to each store. I wonder if they are starting to ship them out like Walgreens/TJ Maxx/Marshalls does now, which is splitting cases up between stores.

so i had a thought that the hasbro sales reps says 'HEY, WE HAVE THESE HARD TO FIND FIGURES THAT NEVER HIT RETAIL, I GUARANTEE THEY WILL SELL, YOU CAN EVEN MARK THEM Up' SO I FIGURE IT COULD BE THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCE. SPLIT UP ALL THE CASES AND USE THAT SALES TEQNIQUE,well and it keeps the retailers from making a bad investment and thus cancelling all future joe orders. doolar general could be the same case , unless they get the raw end of the deal from selling wave 1 like hotcakes to only getting shorted from any future waves due to hasbro splitting cases to make more money. the more i think about it i believe that the sales reps may even be in cahoots doing shady moves like holding specific waves back with variants so they can cash in

Would like to find some of those for some customs, but everywhere has like 1 or 2 of the first wave and they get the new ones until they are gone, and I don't wanna have to buy em to count on that happening lol...

Here's what I saw folks:
DG Stores: Joes found 1 : 2 dukes 2 : 1 duke, 1 SS 3 : 1 SE 4 : nothing 5 : nothing 6 : 1 cobra trooper, 1 Duke, 1 SS, 1 SE. 7+8 nothing I'm thinking that they are not shipping full cases, theses are the only figures that were there. Again why would someone buy all the cobra commanders?
