In other news, it looks like Fesifisky's recent discovery of a Renegades Storm Shadow/actual case of Wave 3 at TRU was not a unique incident. I went to the Peabody TRU yesterday where I found a suspicious group of leftover wave 3 joes:
•Hazard Viper
•Renegades Scarlett
•Renegades Ripcord
•Renegades Tunnel Rat
•Renegades Cobra Trooper
•Renegades Firefly X2
All of the above figures except for ONE of the Renegades Fireflies, had the same date stamp, which IIRC was "12481" (which, if you're familiar with Julian date numerical translation, translates to the 248th day of 2011, or September 5th, 2011 being their factory production date). Typically, with Hasbro at least, it takes a few months for the figures to hit store shelves once they have been stamped like this. Meaning that figures with this date stamp would be considered "overdue" to be in stores this late.
However, the biggest giveaway here is the Hazard Viper, who was last shipped with wave 3 and would not have the same date stamp as the rest of these familiar wave 3 figures UNLESS he was shipped in the case with them. The bottom line is that this was undoubtedly a bonafide case of wave 3 and not just wave 4 leftovers, so somebody in Peabody snagged a Renegades Storm Shadow within the last week (I was there last Sunday as well).
Here's Wave 3:
