Saw a couple left overs from this assortment at Kitchener Toys'R'Us.  All I saw was 1 Reactive Armor Duke and 1 Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow.

Kitchener Toys'R'Us has restocked on the these two assortments.  The display is over flowing once again.

Which two assortments? I'm looking for the Paris figures now.

Almost entirely these two:

Collection 1 Wave 1
Duke (Desert Ambush)
Snake Eyes (Ninja Commando)
Storm Shadow (Ninja Mercenary)
Baroness (Attack on GI Joe Pit)
Destro (Weapons Supplier)
Neo Viper (Attack on GI Joe Pit)

Collection 2 Wave 1
Shipwreck (Naval Commando)
Heavy Duty (Heavy Weapons Specialist)
Zartan (Master of Disguise)
Ripcord (Delta-6 Accelerator Suit)
Breaker (Technical Surveillance)
Cobra Viper (Desert Ambush)
Scarlett (Covert Operations)

But they did have 1 Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow left.

Ok, so which one of you was at Kitchener Toys'R'Us this morning with a basket FULL of figures!? :)

No joke, there had to have been 20 figures in his basket.  It was great to see someone picked up so many and clearing so much space on the shelf.

Well you know what I look like, so it wasn't me.

Sounds like someone else is in our playground and they should say "Hi".

Not in the KW Area.

Wal~Mart still has a ton of old stock so there's really no need to restock with newer stuff.
Toys'R'Us keeps restocking with C1W1 & C2W1.
...and Zellers....well, they just always suck.

I haven't checked a Sears store in a long time. You never know what you might find there.
Once the movie is out we'll hopefully start to see things move a little quicker.

Same old story of "won't get new waves until existing waves sell through"

Hopefully next week after the movie opens, all the kiddies will buy the stuff on shelves now.

Yeah, but with this being a big movie, you just gotta know that they've made the international cards for all these figures. I think we will see them sooner or later.

I agree that they must be making trilingual versions of all the figures, it's just scary how over-stocked everyone is with the rather unspectacular early waves. It wouldn't surprise me if Zellers never gets any later ROC waves, I haven't seen any movement there, and very little at TRU. And when TRU has run down, they just put out more Destro and Duke figures.

I guess what's really bugging me is that some of the figures we've not got here already seem to be removed from forthcoming assortments in the states. It is also frustrating to consider ordering cases in from the US because I'd end up paying a fair bit more than Canadian retail per figure if customs hit me. Oh well, I can be patient. My real complaining will start if (when?) Canadian Wal-mart passes on the ROC exclusives... On that note, will Canada see TRU exclusives in stores?

Cool!  They usually have sales anytime TRU does.  Was it just the figures or are vehicles on sale as well?
