Has anyone seen these at retail yet? Only places I have seen are online stores that are charging over retail for them.

I've seen the IG set and Joe pilots set at TRU. Never seen the Navy set which I find to be odd, but yes, I've seen some of it at retail. These new sets aren't shipping in near the numbers of the first wave.

I haven't seen them here, and toysrus.com has removed the listings from their website.

I have seen them. They are Probably sitting under dust in the back of your store. Waiting for the 1st sets to get sold through.

The ones at my TRU are waaay up on the very top of the shelves. They still have a metric crapload of the CC/Officer/Trooper packs down below. I managed to reach up and grab an IG pack, but the others were too high up to get without doing some kind of acrobatics. I decided they're just not worth the effort of finding someone and asking them to take them down. I like Skyduster and the attempt at Deep Six V2, but the rest is pretty much turd to me.

I saw them at the end of the month up near the Wisconsin border, they had I think 2 of each and I had the IG and Starduster pack in hand, but it was just too much to spend at the time, so I put the IG pack back. I figured I never had him as a kid, so I'd like to at least get Starduster(or Starstreaker, Starskimmer, Skystreamer, Skywalker or whatever they're calling him, he's Starduster to me). I was hoping to make a trip to the local TRU once a week since then and get one a week and finish the set, but they're not here locally, DOH!

I saw two if the IG set at one TRU but not the Joe sets. Most of the TRU near me have room to put them out but so far no one has. I find it very odd that the army builder set (Cobra Officers) from series one seems to be the pegwarmer.

That's b/c they keep making singles of the troopers/officers, and also putting out CG's in a 5-pack set...right next to the 3 pack set. :monocle:

I just got an IG set, but it was hidden at the top of the shelf.
No other sets.
Plenty of wave 1 SRO sets though.

I ordered online when it first came up and got them quite a while ago. I haven't seen any in store at all and I check weekly. There's still several of the first wave so it's probably as mentioned. They're probably in the back of the store waiting for the first wave to sell.

We have them in droves, actually, our TRU always has joe product, no one here collects it.

I snagged them,what, six weeks ago?

no new comic packs or dvds, though, at any location though, very weird.

That is definately where mine must be hiding them. Way too many wave 1 sets still just sitting there. You would think they could mix them up a little.
I really wish they would have some sort of site to store ordering system like Walmart's or JC Penney's.
Too bad they aren't listed on their website anymore. I would have liked to have a print out of that page to make it easy for them to find it for me in the back.

I've been looking for these for at least a month now. Still haven't shown up yet. Frustrating, isn't it?
