I think they're an internet hoax. Like the last two waves of POC/30th.

Not that I'm bitter, or anything.... :shifty:

Heck, I haven't seen either in a a couple of weeks. Plenty of Red Ninjas, Snake Eyes, Fire Flies, black Cobra Commanders & a couple of Cobra Troopers.

When the Troopers first hit last year, all I saw were the Tan ones. All the local Wal*Marts, Targets, TRU's, and K-Mart's had the Tan Trooper. When the movie hit and aisles were getting re-stocked, now I'm seeing Blue Troopers more frequently. I think the breakdown at this point is fairly even with neither being more rare than the other.

On a different note, it'd be nice to see more Joe product on the pegs, in general. It seems like re-stocks are less frequent these days.

The Walmart's I've been at seem to be stocked reasonablely well, the last two targets have been low stocked or even empty pegged, and the last tru had an end cap set up and two rows of pegs and on those there was maybe a total of eight or nine figures and all of them were snake eyes and battle kata roadblock.

Mine are all filled with wave 1 characters or figures.
I saw wave 2 only briefly & passed on Colton & Lady Jaye thinking I could get them later. Now I don't see any from wave 2 at all.

I'm really not even sure who all was wave 2. I bought the only Colton I saw and I didn't see another Lady Jaye until after I had bought her on ebay. Both of those were at Kmart. They seem to be the only ones restocking in my area, I've gotten 2 Cyber Ninjas & 2 Alley Vipers from there.

I went to Wal-Mart this afternoon. They still had the same four figures: Snake-Eyes, 2 Storm Shadows, and a Roadblock.

Target is about the same and K-Mart hasn't gotten anything yet.

Maybe K-Mart will just clearance any GIJOE they do get it like they did the Hobbit stuff. That never went on the shelf.

I don't think Kmart put any Hobbit stuff on "pegs". Mine had them in their own floor display. Then they were located near electronics. At least they had Hobbit figures unlike Target or Walmart. :roll:
Kmart has been the bright spot here when they actually had stock. Mine has the problem of never re-ordering or restocking anything.
