My weekend hunting trips involves 3 in my city, 2 more about 20 miles away, and then 2 in the next state over. This isn't including the same number of Walmarts I'll hit up too. Within the timeframe of CI wave 1 none of the Targets I hit had any. Only two of the Targets I went to ever had Wave 2. Hell as far as I know none of us on TFW's Portland OR area locals saw a Firefly either and me and only one other guy saw Vipers.
My theory is that the Northwest received a smaller amount of CI wave 1 than most other regions. Here in the greater Seattle area I saw Roadblock a couple times, trooper once, beachhead once, and my dad found Baroness once. Always amazed at the difference when folks in other parts of the country say they saw them all multiple times.
For wave 2 I was at least able to get them on release day so it seems like the distribution was a little better, but I haven't been looking since then so I am curious how many later shipments there might have been.
