Hey man Delaware is the same way. I hit the ground running early this AM and hit up all the major retailers and not only do they not have any Joe product out they just did their resets and there are zero pegs or shelf space at all! I ran DCPIs and asked them all to check in the back and nada, zilch, zero Joe stock. Today was the grand roll out day for the line no? How did major retailers skip over a major motion picture toy line!?! Wow...

I like how today a Montgomeryville Target employee told me basically they don't want to sell me GI Joe stuff because it's in the back, and they can't be bothered to get it. Hell, I'd stock their shelves for them with the rest if they just let me.
Seriously.

after they wouldn't show me what was in back, the target finally put new Joes out. Alley Viper and Joe Colton were already gone when I got there. I took the dark ninja and cyber ninja. the rest are still there that were from a normal pack: Cobra commander in black, Flint, lady jaye, Kata road block, etc
none of the 3 packs were out either except the old ones.
I was really hoping to find the red alley viper. at least we know they are definitely out in our area.

Hilltown Walmart has the new wave of guys too. From there I just took Joe Colton, Red Alley Viper (alley viper commander to me), and Firefly. I left the rest including a Dark Ninja behind. I've found all the ones I'm interested in now.

Target at the Waterfront had a bunch of wave 1 stuff, no sign of wave 2.
Target in East Liberty had several of each wave 2 3-packs, but everything else was wave 1.

Montgomeryville TRU, grabbed last ninja cruiser ($22). They also had several of the VTOLs at $15. But no figs, single carded or 3 packs.

Drove out to Boardman, Ohio yesterday. TRU had a few first wave Retaliation vehicles and a Renegades Scarlett, as well as the Renegades VTOL jet (I forget the name). Target had a first wave Retaliation Duke, Storm Shadow and Roadblock. The Dollar General had a full set of the first color assortment of DG Joes, which I bought the Storm Shadow and Duke, who have been the hardest to find. On the way home, stopped at TRU in Monaca which had four Renegades single figures (Scarlett, Ripcord, Cobra Troop and one other I can't remember). Also had a few Retaliation AWEs and Fangboats, as well as about 5 Skystrikers for $24.99 and some Crimson HISS Tanks.

Friday I checked out the TRU at Bethel Park, which had a single Renegade Scarlett. Kmart and Walmart had nothing earlier this week. That's been the extent of my search for new figures so far.

Target in Monroeville was chock full of wave 1 everything including blue CC and wave 1 3packs.

TRU in Monroeville only had Retaliation wave 1 vehicles - no sign of figs.
What they did have were the new True Legends (TRU chap mei) line. Lots of ninja packs, motorcycles, and ninja cars. Also lots of the big Orcs vs Elves big set with the tower, battering ram, catapult, and dragon. They had the elves and griffins set also and the elf 4 pack. No sign of the Orc pack or the orcs and 2-headed wolves.

Oh, also seeing tons of Iron Man 3 stuff everywhere in the Pittsburgh area. Lots of the cheap singles, big figures, part swappers including Iron Patriot and mk 42 armor. Also seeing tons of the cheap Spidey stuff and the 10" tall slim boxed figures with minimal articulation for IM, Spidey, and Star Wars. No desire to pick any of it up. I see that Hasbro's strategy this year is to skew younger, but I don't know how we'll these will fly off the shelves.
