Because of the almost non-existent selection on shelves, the only figures I ended up buying in stores were Snake Eyes and a single Cobra Trooper (weirdly, the Trooper was marked on clearance for $12.00 instead of $12.93), as well as the HISS Tank and F.A.N.G. The rest I ended up ordering online, and I got Duke and Cobra Commander when they were marked down to $7 each. Lady Jaye, Stalker, Grunt, and a few Cobra Troopers and Officers made up the rest of my Walmart orders. Through Hasbro Pulse, I was able to order another two Cobra Troopers and the HISS III. Overall, distribution issues are making collecting this line more complicated than it should be, though I'll still be looking forward to future Retro Collection releases.

At least on the one Trooper I have in hand, the quality feels pretty solid. A couple of the joints had a little stickiness to them at first, but that went away quickly. The hip joints have held up well so far. They hold a variety of poses and haven't popped out of place. Overall I liked the figure enough to order several more to build a proper army. Hopefully the quality on those is consistent. It should be noted that as a new collector, I don't own any of the previous CT figures to do a proper comparison. Still, I don't have any major complaints about the figure, and I'd probably give it an 8/10

I saw a pair of blue Hiss tanks today along with a Snake Eyes and a Duke that weren't there before. This was the first time I have seen those two in stores.

I ordered and got two more FANGs from Walmart. I am really liking the FANG pilot figure. I actually like it a lot more than the POC and DG troopers I have.

Popped into Walmart today hoping for a HISS III. As usual, didn't find s**t. Not a single G.I. Joe item in the store.

I think that was pure speculation based on a poster someone saw. I think it’s a load of rubbish.
