toysrus.com (too bad it's not toysrus.ca) have pre-order available for G.I. Joe Retaliation figures and vehicles.

Hopefully we'll see them in Canada soon.

The shipping date listed is May 28/12.

My source says that these toys will appear on TRU shelves come may 28th. My local store already has the vehicles in the back area. Figures are inbound.

I have the delta vehicles in stock and all the rest on the way

My source at TRU tells me the Retaliation figures are in the stockroom as of today--at my local store. They do have a street date that is supposed to be adhered to--the aforementioned May 28th.
Its hard to say how well the product will sell--I was told that the initial reaction is that some of it is interesting, and some is ho-hum. My source tells me that a manager said that if the stuff doesn't sell much within about 3 months time--then it'll get discounted. That is likely an off-hand comment, and not an official policy though, so expect things to be different store-to-store.

Let's hope that TRU follows the same pattern that has occured recently, intentional or not.  That is releasing stuff and either having a sale at the same time, or a week later.  That or a sale at the same time as a media release.  I'm thinking back to MP Rodimus being released during a 30% off sale and The Avengers toys getting a 30% off sale the week it opens.

I went to TRU yesterday and saw the 6-8" Retaliation figures http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12827415 .  None of the 4" though.  But they should be soon Id think!

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

That's good news.
