I've had okay luck picking up 25th anniversary figures, though it seems Northeast Ohio gets things months after the rest of the country. I picked up Wave 1 comic packs back in the middle of January, and had seen nothing new since. Today I grabbed the Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes pack from Wave 3 at Target (side note: both Target and Walmart received a case of Wave 4 single packs in the last day).
Has anyone had luck picking up Wave 2 (which I've never seen) after they had picked up Wave 3? Or did I miss the boat? Those aren't my most anticipated characters, so I'll survive, as long as the other packs from Wave 3 get restocked. |

I didn't collect until 2008 but right after New Year's Day, I saw what was left of wave 1 and wave 2 at Wal-Mart. Which tells me, that it must of came in during the Christmas Holidays. Since New Year's Day our Wal-Mart has received Wave 1 comic packs and then went to wave 3.
As for Target, they have only received wave 1 comic packs and curious to see what comes next since the pegs are now near empty. And K-Mart, only wave 1's. So, I know some people picked up wave 2's two months ago. I've only seen them come once and what affected our WM from getting any more in early-to-mid January was due to the reset. For singles, Unlike other places our WM has not received wave 4...it went from wave 2-3 to wave 5. Target over here went from wave 2-3, to refresher Cobra to wave 4. K-Mart went from wave 2 to refresher Cobra wave. So, that's my situation here since January.

Wave 2 is still being found at Kmart stores across the country. I've also noticed that there will be a Wave 3 revision with both the Dreadnok, and Destro comic packs included. So fear not

I haven't seen wave 2 of the comic packs or waves 5-6 of the singles yet in Maryland.
I haven't actually seen wave 3 of the comic packs on the shelves here either, but my sister-in-law in Virginia snagged those for me. Mike |

In NJ, I found comic wave 1 in early January at Target. Found comic wave 2 in late January at Kmart. And found wave 3 a week and a half later at Walmart. So I had excellent luck with the comic packs.
As for the singles not as good, I only found wave 2 once in Walmart back in December. Only found wave 5 once and someone got to it already. Had to get that on ebay. Found wave 3 and 4 multiple times. Much better luck with those 2. No sign of Wave 6.

In my area K Mart and some Wal Marts still carry the wave 2 comics. Wave 1 and 2 is not the problem here, it is finding wave 3...
