I grabbed the two 3-packs, CC, two red ninjas, single Roadblock, SS, and a Cobra trooper. My son and I played with the trooper and red ninja outside for a long time. Definitely more play value than the ROC line.

I've seen everything but the vehicles. TRU had the single packs, 3 packs, motorcycles, the 10 inch guys, and the role play stuff since early last week - nothing added since that time. Walmart was resetting, nothing on the shelves, but only had cases of the single packs and motorcycles on the stock cart. Target had nothing. doesn't look like they are in a hurry to reset at all.

I stopped off at the Rockaway TRU and found an end cap of Retaliation vehicles. I got the HISS and Fang Boat. I left the Ninja Commando 4x4 behind. The head sculpts on CC & Swamp Viper are really nice.

I also picked up a Retaliation Duke and Roadblock from the Walmart in Boonton. Am already searching for hands to swap onto Roadblock and a replacement head for Duke's body.

Didn't realize the brown cape Troopers were shipping. Picked up two today, so now I have two of each. Still haven't seen a blue CC. I'll probably get some mor Troopers and Red Ninjas, but beyond that I think I'm pretty much set for wave 1. Blue CC if I see one, maybe another Nnja Dojo set with Roadblock, but forget the rest.

All my Targets put these out!
The 1 Walmart I went to was already sold out! The other didn't stock them but I found the case in the garden stock area. They wouldn't help me get them. Instead I was told come back tomorrow.
So between 2 Targets...
2 Red Ninja
2 Joe Troopers both tan (maybe blue is at Walmart or TRU?)
black CC
both 3 packs
2 Cobra Troopers
The sad part was the clearance Joes were completely gone. I know they didn't sell them all. I was hoping for some cheap Skystrikers. I wonder if they sold them to Goodwill? Target does that but usually not so quick.

Someone on one of the Star Wars boards is making customs using this figure and said that the ROC Sgt. Stone hands just pop in perfectly and are just the right size, proportion-wise, to the RB body.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Thanks for that Spec.

The search for my ROC Stone now begins.

If you want hands to swap in, you can always get the 3-pack with Roadblock, Kamakura and Beachhead and swap the camo Roadblock's hands onto the green pants Roadblock's arms.

From this review of the camo version:

...he suggests swapping in Night Adder, Retaliation Snake Eyes, PoC Snake Eyes, and PoC Low Light.

this is what I did.

I used the Sgt. Stone hands too, perfect fit.

Between TRU, Target and Walmart (last week) I was able to get one each of all the single card figures, both three packs and the Fang Boat. I hit TRU first yesterday and they only put out one case and said they weren't getting more. Target had much more stuff including Zartan and all the troop builders, which are the highlights of the wave for me. The Joe trooper would fit right in with POC. Great sculpt and tons of gear. Single carded SE and SS are both upstaged by their three pack counterparts and are the only two I haven't opened yet. They might be going back.

Now the real fun will be figuring out how to use all this stuff. I already have some ideas, but I'm hesitant to start customizing 'til we see how rare these are. In general they're a lot more interesting straight out of the package than the ROC figures.

So after hitting a few cases today..

Blue CC ships with Blue mask Trooper
Black CC ships with Brown mask Trooper.

Now it's really confusing.

Blue troopers are going for 100$ on eBay right now, but the Black CC is supposedly the early run.

I've seen black CCs with Blue Troopers.

Correct.

As far as I've seen:

Initial stock shipments were blue CC and blue trooper

next stock shipments were black CC and blue trooper

remainder are black CC and tan trooper

So out of them all, I would expect blue CC to end up being the rarest of them.
