I just spoke with my local Hasbro merchandising rep (who is also a fellow collector) today and he informed me that Wave 4 of the Retaliation figures will not be shipped to major retailers like Toys R Us, Target and Walmart.
Now this may be only in the area he works which happens to be New York City, Long Island and parts of New Jersey though, so don't kill the messenger. He said that they will eventually end up at the closeout discount chains like Marshalls, and TJ Maxx. (I'm betting on Ross getting them first since we do not have them up here.) As we already know this happens with the last wave of almost every movie line that Hasbro makes these days. He also said that Marvel Universe single figures will finally return to this area's Target stores which is nice. I'm not saying this to start a whole "death of the line" thread or anything like that, but once Target put the older waves on clearance I knew it was the end for this current Joe line at Target at least. I'm also thinking that Wave 3.5 won't see the light of day at the major brick and mortar retail chains as well, but I'm not sure if he mentioned that wave or not.

not surprising. Glad I preordered a couple night vipers. If I find any at Ross, it'll be a bonus.

This case blows anyway, except for the three new figs obviously.
