are the prices in all the 3 major stores around $10.99?

I already texted a few of you guys about this, but I figured I'd share my findings during my lunchbreak today: I hit Dedham TRU (as I do every day) and brought with me one of the cardboard package inserts with the UPC on it from a Joe Trooper that I bought at Target last week. There was nothing on the pegs, but I scanned it at the self-scanner and it popped up as "GIJOE movie figure, $10.99". I then had a guy scan it with his PDA, which said there was one case in the back. He got it for me and sure enough (like all the other reports from today mostly at TRUs) there was a blue cobra commander, and a blue-caped joe trooper inside, much different than the cases I've been opening at Targets. All the rest were in the case too. I had been expecting the 2 "blue variants" (CC & Joe Trooper) to be a part of wave 2, but something has been switched up here and it looks as though it's a running change that may or may not be limited to Wave 1 case assortments.

The contents of the TRU case that I opened myself today were as follows:

2x Roadblock
2x Snake Eyes
2x Storm Shadow
1x Duke
1x Cobra Commander (blue outfit)
1x Zartan
1x Joe Trooper (blue cape)
1x Red Ninja
1x Cobra Trooper

anyone seen any of wave 2 yet, i really want that snake and roadblock

I think wave 2 was slated for mid to late June release.

I'm all registered. As this will prob be my last Joecon, I got the golden ticket. I was hoping they'd get some of the actors from the movie (the rock) maybe, but I doubt it now.

At this rate, no Con set for me. Oh well. I really only wanted the single characters...not interested in the troopers at all.

I just came back from The Avengers 3D at IMAX. I now understand why they pushed G.I. Joe back.

I also got an awesome LEGO Avengers poster with one side based on the poster where they are all assembled and the other side having individual bios of each minifigure.

Also LOL at Showcase and their massive Retaliation In June Standee.

So...different 'variants' depending on the store....well at least for 2 figures. But not exclusives of any official sort, interesting.

Over the last few weeks ended up with 3 Zartans and CCs(no more for me, but I'll gladly grab what I see of them for anyone here, just pm me.). Just went over all 3 of both and the only discernable difference besides the blue/black on CC, is the stamped date code. 2 CCs/Zartans came from different WMs and 1 each came from a Target. Sadly I dropped a few and now don't know which came from where but the codes are: 20651, 20751 and 20621. Interestingly a pair of each shared those 3 #s.

I know these stamps have determined other variants or whatnot(black vs brown Hiss and the figure for the Vamp II for ex.) but it doesn't seem to be any pattern as of yet for these figs.

Just curious on others thoughts on this.

Wow. Swung into South Shore Plaza Target on way to work this morning. Man I thought Walmart's toy aisle was bad but this was plain sad. I would say half of the action figure aisle was completely bare peg board. Only a few transformers and star wars figures.
Even the arctic Destros were all gone!!!!

Didn't have time to find an employee to check out back, so there may be movie figures there.
