So, new guy here. probably like many new members (hopefully), played with Joes in the 80s and am now collecting to relive a bit of childhood. Anyway, here's my experience: buddy of mine found a HISS at a local Wal-Mart in Indy, he couldn't find an AWE striker. On Friday morning I found one in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, on the top shelf where they keep extra toys. Then, driving to see my mom later that day I stopped at a Wal-Mart in Plymouth, Indiana and found three HISS and three AWE. No figs. Picked up an AWE for my buddy. Best thing was today. Found Scarlett, Destro and Roadblock at the Wal-Mart in LaPorte, Indiana. Found on the top shelf. No vehicles though. I didn't expect to find these. My online order is set to drop in January. I'm still out of luck on SE, SS and Baroness because I missed the pre-order. I'll keep checking the top shelf at small town WMs and hope for the best.
Baroness doesn't really ever seem to come back for preorder.

Do we know if Retro is going to always be Walmart exclusive? Not that finding them will be any easier elsewhere...

Bendy when you move it is what I was showing. I'm saying on the 50th Destro, when you stand him up you could see the slight bend in his legs like he was standing there with a slight knock knee.
Whereas, the Retro Destro, eventhough his knees are still bendy when you move them by hand, the legs still look straighter on the Retro Destro than the 50th Destro.

Found 3 HISS tanks today at a local Walmart. The website is never up-to-date. Gave up on the AWE and decided to buy from a scalper on ebay. Oh well. That's how it goes.

They did.
It is. Here's a few more comparison pics (Walmart top, 50th bottom). FYI- the legs are much less rubbery on the new figure than the original. Wrist rockets and hand grenades are painted much better as well. However, Walmart Destro no longer has eyeballs...they're just empty black slits now. I like it (looks less cartoonish, IMO), but your mileage may vary.
