Not a good sign, but Toys on Fire changed their pre order date to January 2013.

I patrolled downtown and found nothing.
Zellers Atwaters has nothing but a full aisle of Thor's rubber hammer and Captain Quebec and 1 000 000 comics haven't received anything. It's on Diamond's shoulders.

I only have the basic Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Both figures represent a very modern and cool incarnation of the Arashikage sword brothers.
Each is well sculpted and they're pretty fun to mess around with while watching TV. The abundance of articulation points really allow for some cool action poses.

They don't come with much in term of equipment, but the smaller gear load makes them easier to play with since there's not a ton of small parts that might fall like with Renegade SS and the PoC Snake Eyes. Kinda brings me back to the good old days.

SS comes with a cool little backpack that holds his swords and a zip line apparatus.
SE has a sword, a blue gun which looks like it's straight from an accessory pack and a body armor with wings which are also missile launchers. I would have appreciated a small scabbard for SE's sword.

While they are both another representation of characters we already have multiples of, I think that both figures are worth their price tags.

I called my local TRU and the nice and confused lady told that they only have the small figures.
I asked her if they were actual figures from the movie and she told me that a few figures seems to be new.
I'm afraid that I might only find a Blowtorch and Stalker.

Toys R Us in Newmarket has everything from the first wave.  I got everything today, except for the stupid motorcycles.
That's good news.

Since some stores are supposed to already have the Retaliation toys in their backroom, can we still hope to see some new Joes in Canada next week?

Got a Renegades set yesterday.
Not a big fan of this new upper leg articulations.
The right leg moves freely, but most of the left legs are stuck.

Almost got one last Saturday, but even at $15, I only cared about the Snake Eyes.
