Well, between a friend and myself, we have been checking at least 2 Toys R Us, 3 Targets and 14 Wal-Marts for Wave 10. Not one single figure. Just more re-paints, re-issues and DVD sets 1 and 2.
Today, Wave 11 hit Target. How nice for us. What is up with this? Except for the peg-warmer Wild Bill, we are buying. The stores keep clearing out and having to re-stock. I know the stores are ordering, and stocking, and selling. Anyone having the issue of entire missed waves besides MS? |

I haven't been checking nearly as often as I used to, but Kentucky seems to have stopped at Wave Nine. I am seeing a few cases of Wave 3 vehicles every now and then though.

I think its safe to say that wave 10 is a lost cause for retails. It appears to be more readily available online than IRL!
I bet we can expect something like this down the road for these highly demand toys! |

Nothing here in VA. The wal-marts are packed with that bastard wild bill. I have yet to see wave 3 vehicles.

Still haven't seen wave 10 here, now wave 2 of DVD, Wave2 vehicles or for that matter anything else. Aparently South Florida doesn't exist in Hasbro's world.

Wave 10 reminds me of the Expanded Universe Wave with Thrawn from Star Wars. Hasbro used that wave to show us that we better buy them when we see them, cause they are not going to be there next week. I really hate to think of this as a "marketing strategy," but I have seen it too many times with Star Wars and a few times with Transformers. Between my friend and I, and the way he travels daily for work, we cover 2/3 of this state. Just too much of a coincidence for NO store in the state to ever get an entire wave. |

Well I am in central Texas and we have absolutely, positively NOTHING!!! You would think we might get a new DVD pack or something but NOOOOO. The only thing we got was a sidekick pack and they are throwing those on the shelves so they won't look so empty. The filthy swines... it sure would be nice if I could get something new, but if I saw Wave 11 or 12, or even 10... I would probably faint in the middle of the aisle and then someone else would come and get those Joes!!

Usually when a new wave hits we see it here in AZ first thing. All we have gotten are these damn worthless revisions. I think that after the Indy line got canceled the idiots in charge of it were given GI Joe to kill next.
