Looks like we'll be getting at least some of the revision cases on Canadian cards.
I found left overs of a single case at Cambridge Wal~Mart. The assortment includes:
* 1x Snake Eyes
* 1x Destro (Iron Grenadiers)
* 1x Crimson Guard
* 1x Wild Bill
* 1x Spirit Iron Knife
* 1x Cobra Commander (MASS Device)
* 1x Python Patrol Cobra Officer
* 1x Tiger Force Flint

Are these the same figures just repackaged? Or is there a paint variation to them. My wallet hopes for a repack.
-
I didn't look them over closely but I would suspect they are straight repacks. At most there would be slight improvements in the molds used.
-
Probably just the re-packs that were announced a few months back. Good news, though... Maybe a first-run Flint will show up. I've got Flint, Firefly, Rock N Roll and the Snake Eyes/Timber left on my list of guys to find, and if the re-packs are coming out, I might have an easier time.
-
Flash has gotten the re-package treatment as well.

Cool, did you find it at Wal~Mart? I have to try to track one down now!
-
Yup, Wally- Mart is where I found it.

Thanks for the tip! I was able to find a Flash figure at Sunrise Center Wal~Mart in Kitchener this afternoon. I left behind a Snow Serpent and BAT if anyone is looking for them.
-
I saw Flash, this morning. Thought that was pretty cool. Would have gotten a Black Snake Eyes, if he was there - but I was lucky enough to find a BAT and Snow Serpent to pick up.
On a related note, they took away the GI Joe peg, at my Walmart... instead they're putting them wherever there seems to be a free peg. Right now, they're "Pokemon Singles" for $12.99. If some kid thinks they're $12.99, it's possibly the reason they're not moving. That kind of sucks.

I've been finding them just thrown on the shelf (sometimes the floor) more and more. Even though there is a peg for them. I pick them all up and put them in their proper spot but it's quite funny just how lazy some of the workers can be. I can understand a kid that not putting something back in it's place but for the staff to just dump the box on a shelf is pretty sad.

Spotted two sets of the above today at my local Wal-Mart. I only picked up a Crimson Guard, Destro and Snake Eyes.
-
I think Walmart in my town got their re-supply... there were two pegs literally overflowing with Joes. They had to hang them on the upper price bar of the peg.
I saw two each of Destro, Flash, Snake Eyes and all the earlier figures in that wave. Plus, another set of the Bazooka, Hawk wave. Bought a BAT and Snow Serpent... I couldn't help myself.
-
Two TRUs in my area have also received the revision wave.
-
Guelph WM has 4 pegs filled with joes, and got even more Hisses and Armadillos. Lots of BATS...
