Tru Anjou still has plenty of everything.
The figures are not with the regular non-movie Joe figures. They're at the end cap and in a basket mixed with some Spidey figures in the middle of the passage way.
They have all the vehicles and they had the three packs , but those were with the non-movie figures with a Hiss and a single Ghosthawk. The rest of the vehicles were with the Retaliation toys. I almost missed them since there's also some Power Rangers toys with them.

I got a Red Ninja, a second Storm Shadow, Zartan and Snake Eyes on the bike.
I'm planning on giving Zartan's scabbard to the single carded Snake I already have.

Brossard TRU has movie stuff.

Single-carded figures at $10.99 (underequipped/articulated and overpriced :-\)
Hauser with rocket launcher, Roadblock, Snake-Eyes, Joe guy with a Halo-esque helmet, Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper, Zartan, Storm Shadow, and a Red Ninja.

Only $16.99 vehicle is the swamp boat.

The larger vehicles (I think they were $21) are the Ghost Hawk Mark II and the newschool HISS Tank.

There are two sets of figure 3-packs, one with Kamakura, Night Ops Roadblock and sweet-looking Beachhead, another with Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, and a Red Ninja.

There were also a few roleplay items like a Snake-Eyes disguise kit (Zartan, eat your heart out) and a missile-launching sidearm whose grip becomes the handle of a bayonet.

There were two rider-on-bike vehicles, but I chose to ignore them.

Thanks for the heads-up.. I now have everything I wanted from wave 1

Cool, you even scored a Renegade SS.
I saw that TRU.ca has a non movie Storm Shadow listed on their site without a picture...I wonder...

TRU Lasalle is a pitiful sight. As far as Ret toys are concerned, it has RBs, SE, and SS and a few vehicles. No other singles or 3-packs. TRU St-Bruno had some stock this morning. I saw some Red Ninjas and Cobra Troopers (about 4 of each) as well as lots of 3-packs and vehicles.

Walmart seems to have started putting out some Ret stuff as well. Found a Joe Trooper and a Cobra Commander there (Walmart Brossard). No variants though. CC is black and Trooper is tan cape version. Our last hope for the blue variants seem to be Zellers. I hate to pin my hopes on that chain of stores. By the time they put out figures, they'll probably charge 14.99$ for them.

Glad to help, Shark!

Oh, and, uh... Brossard TRU has the AWE Strikers, too, it seems!

The current sale is probably thinning out the variety.
People must be getting extra troopers, cobras and red ninja which might explain why there's only Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes and Roadblock on the pegs since there's two of each in a box.

I hope everyone grabbed what they wamted from TRU, because they've raised prices on almost all Retaliation product:

Single figures are 11.99$ - up from 10.99$
Deltas (HISS and GH II) are 24.99$ - up from 21.99$
3-Packs are 32.99$ - up from 29.99$
Alphas and Bravos are still the same prices - 14.99$ and 16.99$ respectively.

Maybe they're trying to make sure they keep product on the shelves or longer? Or they saw crazy sales from the first three weeks and are trying to cash in?

This is a weird move.
First they have a big sale only a week after they get the products on the shelves and now they raise the price on the left overs? Did they get more or do they expect to sale their extra RB, SE and SS at a higher price?

toysrus.ca suggests that there's a 25% off sale on all Joes this week...
