I have never seen either Marine Devastation (Gung Ho) or Rock Rampage (Alpine) sets show up at TRU at all this year.
Is it me or did they just not show up? I haven't been able to go searching a whole lot but I have seen plenty of all the other sets. Did I miss them or what? I don't even see them on sites like BBTS. Can someone shed some light on this?

I have never seen the Marine Devestation set at any of my local TRUs, most likely because others are able to get them first(assuming mostly TRU employees), though with the Rock Rampage sets they sproadically show up every week or every month.

You missed them. They were the most popular packs and sold out pretty quick. I was able to buy both sets and found a couple more at other TRU. But they were out and sold.

I ordered a set of 2 packs through EE when they first came out. I then found 3 MD sets at various TRU's over several months. I picked up one RR at TRU and found it again about a month later at the same TRU. I posted it on the sighting thread and another Tanker picked it up.
It helps that I live in a big city. On Wednesdays, I pass 3 TRU's on the way home from work. I think that increased my chances a great deal.

I've seen tons of both of them and just found another one of each last week in King of Prussia, PA in a new restock. Maybe saw 12 Rock Rampages and over 15 Gung-Hos.

I picked up 1 of the Gung Ho 2 packs and thats it. Any other that sold was bought by customers. Customers who were willing to show up at 9AM....everyday.

I only hit up tru about once a month anymore. I never saw the gung-ho set but I did get lucky enough to pick up the alpine one. They got released but I think the numbers were low. It is possible some stores didn't even get them I suppose.

I have lucked into the Marine Devastation and Rock Rampage sets I have been able to purchase. They disappears very quickly from my local shelves. Only one ToysRUs in my area seems to be restocking any Joe.
