Sorry Chip. Didn't want to set anyone off by posting the DCPI numbers for these figures. Just thought I was helping out our fellow collectors here who missed out on the preorders for these like I did.
I'm still kind of on the fence with this line myself. I still don't have any of the figures yet (my preorder for series 1 still hasn't shipped yet). There are already a lot of figures announced/up for preorder, but I don't have any in-hand yet to tell if I'm even going to like them yet. Also, there are a lot of repaints already.
It's already getting expensive keeping up with WWE Mattel and now AEW figures too. I gave up on McFarlane DC and cancelled my preorder for the first series. Just too much, and not enough funds for everything.

Just too much, and not enough funds for everything. no that wasnt a shot at you or anything....it just the "hobby" in general. its like the retailers have no ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing clue how to do preorders, because they just get snatched by bots. and then you get all the other sweaty neckbeards yelling at employees about "this shows in stock on brickseek!!!!!" all the time, or waiting outside the store for them to open because they saw they got a case im like, i dont want to do that crap to buy these things. its ridiculous. and im not going to support that nonsense by overpaying for something on ebay. i just remember back in the day even during the Jakks era, i could walk into ANY toys r us and get what i wanted within a reasonable amount of time. maybe you missed an "Exclusive" or a limited piece, but all this mass released stuff being so tough to come by because of the world we live in now is just frustrating

/\ We pretty much lost that when TRU closed down. That was an actual toy store that cared about stocking toys and you would see a half of aisle dedicated to a toy line. But with them (and KB) closed we get to fight to find what we are looking for on 2-3 pegs in a store that really doesn’t care about the toy department.

Finally saw my first figure from the line today at Walmart, a lone Snake Eyes, which surprised me, because I figured of the first wave, he would be one of the harder ones to find.

It's strange though, I didn't see any display for them, he was just alone on the shelf, down the action figure aisle.

I saw four Snake-Eyes on an untouched display. I'm not sure the count is always the same, though.

And during a pandemic, toys would be lower priority for Walmart or target to stock.

The Popfindr count in my area: Four out of eight Targets have the trooper, 3 out of 8 have Beach Head, two of those stores have both. Nobody has Roadblock or Baroness. My town's store has six troopers. I heard the backroom say they were in transition when an associate called to the stockroom on her walkie-talkie. I assume they are on the reset pallet?

There’s supposed to be a sdcc endcap tomorrow with the blue/grey Animated Batman from McFarlane, GI Joe’s and a few other things according to my friend at Target.

Has it been all but confirmed that the characters listed on the updated GI JOE website will all most likely be made at some point pending the line continues?

There is no way my Target will have an endcap ready on a Sunday. After asking about them yesterday,it seems like they don't have a stock room location. So far, no figures have sold from any of my area stores.

I just met a couple fellow collectors at the last Target I stopped at and one said it did the same to him, but Pop Findr is still updating accurately. Try that instead. I got one Trooper at one of the 3 stores. Wouldn’t sell me more than one; couldn’t find anyone at the second to look; third he brought out Beach head, Wave 1, Spawn with axe, and blue/gray Bats — but couldn’t find the Troopers. The First Lady I talked to said her pad is still showing 8/14, but she got a guy more familiar with it to help us, and he said they’re just including it all in the reset that starts today...
