Even Destro has been available on Amazon multiple times for retail. I assume he will also pop back up on Pulse when they restock him (he's the only Wave 1 figure that hasn't appeared there again).
Besides three figures (Trooper, Baroness, and sort of Beach Head) this line has been incredibly easy for U.S. collectors to obtain. There's a weird undercurrent here that unless you find figures on the pegs at Walmart or Target, they aren't worth having. I don't get it. Incredibly easy to find? |

I've pretty much given up as well. I had Cobra Commander ordered from Amazon - then I happened to see him in store - but I left him behind, since my Amazon order was supposed to ship the next day. Now I just received a message saying that Amazon actually has no stock - and they want to know if I want to keep my order or not. F it. This whole thing is beyond ridiculous. I still have not seen any of the Cobra Island figures except for Roadblock - who is now peg-warming. Never have seen Destro. Never have seen even Snake Eyes in the wild. Its all just put me off to it. I'm a grown adult man, with my own business, family life, and responsibilities. I don't have time for these idiotic games simply to collect a toy line that honestly doesn't even excite me too much.

What Wave 1 and Wave 2 figures have you had trouble ordering? Gamestop, Pulse, and Amazon have had all the wave 1 figures available for shipping at various points.
Amazon just shipped out its wave 2 preorders three months early. And you can still order CC and Gung Ho for possible September deliveries. Unless you are just absolutely determined to walk into a Walmart or Target and see these figures just laying around, Classified has been a remarkably easy line to collect . . . outside of three Cobra Island figures, which have been a nightmare.

Meanwhile, it seems as though every other human being in the world already has these in hand. I am frustrated beyond all belief right now. |

Be glad you are getting Destro later. The first ones has a mold line so he's got a circle on the top of the head. The newer ones don't have that circle on his head.

Opposite over here. The cobra troopers and beachheads have by far been the most available gi joe figures in any retail store. I saw wave 1 once, minus destro and bought it. I go grocery shopping every week, and have yet to see them again. I've seen 10 troopers and 10 Beach heads, 3 or 4 roadblocks. Zero baroness. Zero destros. The only reason I saw those troopers and beachheads was from going to multiple locations multiple times. Truth be told, none of these figures have never hit the shelves in my opinion. They are gone as soon as they arrive. Not a chance in hell of any kid ever really acquiring them. Most parents aren't going to search some obscure toy store website to find these. Its either readily available at cost, or it's not. Unfortunately for anything collector oriented, nowadays, its not.

I got the first wave online, my brother got me Cobra Island Roadblock & Beachhead for my b-day, & I found Gung-Ho & Cobra Commander (for my brother & I today at Target.)
The online search showed they had Baroness too but I did not see her anywhere there. There was also a guy circling the toy aisles like Jaws as I clung on to my Joes and looked around some more. lol |
