Snake Eyes and Baroness shipped from the order I placed yesterday. Snake Eyes shipped from my day one preorder. Baroness has not shipped from my day one preorder. Neither Storm Shadow have shipped (which was expected as that date is 24 November).

Hard restock in my area. All wave 1.
No sign of wave 2. I’ve seen 3 stores with 6 wave 1 on the shelf.

While I was mulling over canceling my long-delayed pre-order figures and simply sitting the rest of this line out, Wal-Mart decided to finally pack and ship my Snake Eyes and two Baronesses (Stormshadow is still in limbo).
I guess I'll just cancel Stormshadow now. I didn't really want that version anyway. I've had buyer's remorse for the HISS tanks and AWE Strikers I bought already. They're still sealed and they're probably going back as well. Besides the Arctic HISS, I have not owned any of the 25th HISS tanks. So, I bought 2 of the retro HISS tanks. Again, the plastic seems to be a dull/matte finish. Likewise, I do not own a green 25th AWE Striker, got plenty of other versions and a vintage AWE. So, I kind of lucked out waiting this long for vehicles. Hasbro and Walmart definitely seem to have some logistical issues with their toy department. My local Walmarts haven't had any new Star Wars figures either (not that I collect them, I just keep noticing). Jason |

We'll see. I'll probably just shift to a 1:18 Halo Christmas this year in general. I'm loaded up on 1:18 Halo figures and vehicles already. The vehicles are cheaper and more robust and the kids are Halo maniacs anyway. Nobody else in their age group at school has even heard of GI Joe so the Halo stuff will be more relatable. I can always supplement with Mega Bloks, Lego, and Nerf if I need to. I don't need to keep knocking myself out trying to "make Joes happen" for the next generation. I've been trying that for the past 5 years at great expense and effort. If Hasbro doesn't want to help, screw 'em. My own kids have enough Joe stuff, honestly. Their cousins are almost all several years younger and will probably get hand-me-downs when my kids outgrow their Joe toys. I was on the fence already and I don't need this.

Joe is super-scarce on shelves right now in general, but in general Action figures as a whole seem to be a lot more scarce. Both local Wal-Marts usually have ZERO Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified, or Star Wars Black Series on shelves. Like...not even pegwarmers, and the situation doesn't get much better roaming further afield. THe new Halo line is definitely moving briskly though not to the point it's completely unfindable.
Even the Fortnite figures seem picked over. The only "collector" line around here that seems to be decently stocked is Transformers (and the DOA Ghostbusters line). Target isn't much better though it at least usually has some pegwarmers left behind for MLs and Black Series. I don't know if there's been a resurgence in action figures due to kids being cooped up or if Hasbro just cut way back on production (which seems unlikely given they couldn't have known how bad the Pandemic was going to be when the toys on-shelf now were in production). |

I ended up hitting 5 Wal Mart stores this morning in my desperate search for Scarlett.
I saw 4 stores that had a full assortment of wave 1. I did not see any wave 2. On a separate observation, I saw zero Classified Series, SW Black Series or SW TVC. The action figure isles were pretty bleak in general.

Ordered 2 Baroness and a Snake Eyes a couple days ago.
Three separate packages arrived today roughly the same size as the card. They were crammed in there, one per box. I had to bend them to get them out. Instead of a Snake Eyes I got 3 Baronesses instead. That's Walmart for ya. |

Are people getting their cancelled orders reactivated? I cancelled my Wave 1 figure order a long time ago since they were showing up in stores. I have the cancellation saved. This morning I get a notification that FedEx is shipping my Wave 1 figures and they'll be delivered on Monday! WTF???
