wave 3 figs found at the oshawa townline store.  heres what they had:

3 shock troopers
2 snake eyes
3 dukes
4 storm shadows

grabbed 2 shock troopers, duke, and snake eyes....  my son really wanted anoother storm shadow so i let him pick it out.  does not look all that great in the package.  However, after he opened it up and we played with it for awhile i think its a pretty solid figure.  great accessories as most of this line seems to have.

After visting 4 Walmarts and 2 Zellers.  I was less than impressed with the results when it came to Joes on the shelves.  3 of the walmarts and 1 of the zellers didn't even have a space where Joes should be or go other than the expensive movie exclusives.  The walmart that had Joes were a mix of wave 1 and 2 and it was in the States.

The distribution of these figures is beyond puzzling. They're forcing me to shop online again.

here in the durham/clarington regions it seems that the POC is not being pushed for christmas.  Seems like star wars, wrestling figures, tron etc are stocked very well.  guess its just not the year for it...  my guess is without a major movie, tv show or video game it lacks the star power.  even the new GI Joe renegades tv show is not matching up with the new toy line as far as characters go.  I have yet to lay eyes on wave 2 vehicles at retail.  I found wave 3 figs at a local zellers, but they had pegged them on the back of an isle with a bunch of random things.  price stickers were stuck to the back of the cards.

Who is on this wave?   I found Duke, Storm Shadow and Shock Troopers at a Zellers yesterday.  I guess Snake Eyes is in this wave.

Still looking for a Recondo from wave 2.

I think it's just those 4 guys.

As for Recondo, you aren't missing much. Too much goofy gear can ruin a figure.  :(

The thing I don't like about Recondo is his head can only be in the down position.

Which Zellers did you see them at?  I've had no luck with Wave 3 at retail at all....  :'(

I have not seen them at retail either.  I am assuming there is a peg warmer out of the wave (probably Snake Eyes or Duke).
Anyone know if these are showing up in the Buffalo area?

The trick with wave 1 & 3 Stormy is not to call him Storm Shadow!  Just call them Desert and Snow Ninjas!
