They all seem to be blue in our area whereas people posting on the East Coast seem to have gotten brown. Brown-eyed Beach Head is the last thing I'm looking for right now.

I think I have found them both. One came online, though, so that might support your regional argument.

Just a heads up, you might want to check Walgreens, too... I saw a lone Gung Ho but left him (obviously still debating)... I heard from a WalMart employee that they are restocking Retro the first week of November. No idea if that's just my area (Peoria) or regional/state.

Good luck everybody!

I found HISS tanks at the Montgomery Walmart. Goldbug, I grabbed one if you still need it. I texted but never heard from you.

The only Wal Marts I've been to that had anything was Oswego on 34 the day they opened the boxes and the one in Naperville. I haven't had success in Aurora itself.

Lockport Walmart has 3 Destros & 3 HISS Tanks left
I only got Roadblock
Scarlett still eludes me

I have yet to see Roadblock, Scarlett, or Destro Retro figures, but I haven't been out in a while to look. Anybody seeing anything? Not even going to try for the Classifieds, ridiculous how difficult those have been.

I've only seen Destro on shelf. Supposedly, the Scarlett and Roadblock that I ordered shipped today.
