arg have to have the will power not to buy more on impulse, it makes it easy though since this wave is over saturated to absurdity...Even hardcore army builders can't make a dent anymore.

I'll make a dent if they go the way of Captain America figures at Walmart.  ;)
I know I made quite a few Cap figures disappear for $2.  I'm waiting for the Thor figures to hit $2 as well.

They hit $5 at my local Walmart, but they only seem to have a couple of different Thors and Loki.

Thor is $5 at my local Walmart too.  If they were $2 maybe they'd disappear as quick as Cap did.  I still need to get a Fandral to complete my Warriors 3.

Found a single case of wave 8??? (Eglinton/Pharmacy Walmart)

The one on the new cards with Stalker, Hazard Viper, Viper, Cobra Trooper, IG and SB.  $10.77 each, and someone had already taken the Vipers and a Hazard Viper.

Forgot to add that the card was Multilingual with an English filecard like the US and a paper French/Spanish filecard inside.

The price point increase is just to stretch us out for the licensing fees with the movie figures.

I really want to support G.I. Joe at retail but I can't wait 4-6 months. Even if I did wait there's always the risk they'll never show up or barely show up. Arghhh. At least Retaliation stuff should be on time and easy to find.

Understand that if the product doesn't show up in a brick & mortar retail store, then that retailer has already made the decision to NOT support the line, because they have not placed orders for the product.
Instead ordering from a smaller retailer ( such as a comic shop or collectible store) or an on-line retailer is probably the better (and more reliable) way to actually support the toy-lines you are interested in because they actually get supplied with the goods.

My local Walmart had: Sgt. Stalker, Hazard Viper, Viper, Cobra Trooper, Iron Grenadier and Steel Brigade.

It is nice to see Stalker finally hit Canadian retail shelves.  My friend grabbed him when he saw them.  At $10.77 it was still a deal.
