I ran across some of the wave 1 figure 2-packs at Ross today for $9 each:
I picked up one of the Halo mechs there a couple of weeks ago pretty cheap as well.

Have any other packs or singles been reported at Ross? There's still a few I am looking for, but none of the Ross stores I checked recently had much of anything in the toy section, let alone anything good.

Thanks Zap, I'll be on the hunt.
Not helpful now but I found a few of the 3 packs and a bunch of Master Chiefs a couple of months ago. I've been trying to finish up my collection recently and would love for the Wave 5 and 6 figures to show up.

Amen to that! Tartarus and the whichever prophet they released would be an amazing Ross find. I would like to get a Sgt. Johnson too, even though he has a peanut head and a questionable build. It would be nice to give the kids something for that slot at least.
I'm not to concerned with finding the Forge 2-pack though, personally. What else was in the wave that only ever appeared in Canada?

Wave 5 was:
-Arbiter w/ Energy Sword -Grunt -Master Chief w/ MP7 -ODST w/ Battle Rifle -Sgt. Johnson w/ Assault Rifle -Spartan Locke w/ Battle Rifle Wave six must have gotten limited stateside releases because I've been able to find them via Mercari or other online merchants but never saw them in the wild myself. The two packs were the ones you mentioned: Tartarus/Prophet of Truth and Sgt. Forge/Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee. I found them both in Canada and am hoping the seller comes through. Looks like there were a couple more two-packs: Arbiter/Half Jaw Elite and Noble Six/Elite Zealot but I don't know if those were ever released.

I was able to get Tartarus/Prophet of Truth from someone in Canada. He says the Sgt. Forge/Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee set was also readily available at the time. Shame we never officially got these down here.

Looks like there were a couple more two-packs: Arbiter/Half Jaw Elite and Noble Six/Elite Zealot but I don't know if those were ever released. Other than Sgt. Johnson, I didn't care about missing any of the wave 5 singles. We already have Arbiter here from the Gamestop Warthog release. If wave 6 was the Halo 3 marine and skirmisher wave, then my local Meijer stores had those hit the shelves probably twice. Not in massive numbers, but obtainable. They were the only retailer I ever saw carrying them. Target and Wal-Mart never had them here.

I would have liked to get the ODST provided it was different than the Drop Pod Rookie and I'd like to get Spartan Locke as well.

I wish amazon would have done more of the Marine 3acks but from each game

Yeah, marine multipacks would have been good if they had offered some multipacks of earlier game versions. I like the Halo 3 version best. My kids and I don't have any connection to whatever Halo game these newer marine designs came from so we got our fill of those pretty quickly. We have a squad of goofy goatee marine clones, but some variety would have been nice.
But for me, I think hunters...why no hunters? Those would have sold two by two. They're the only "main" class of covenant we never got (only the winged bug things come to mind as other covenant that weren't released and those never featured as prominently as hunters). EDIT: Engineers too, I guess. We never saw the magnum released either. All those masterchief releases and they never popped a pistol in there to entice a purchase? The checkpoint and armory sets...no pistols? Give me a banshee, wraith, scorpion, hunters, and then the noble team and alpha 9 team (if they fixed the crappy ODST sculpt) and I think we could have found a happy breaking point for the line. There is always more to want, but that would have covered a lot of foundational and core story aspects reasonably well. Still, I'm glad we got as much as we did. I had been waiting a decade for 1/18 halo by the time they announced these.
