Distrubtion complaints!!
Is anyone else here getting sick of seeing what is coming out in Wave 4 and 5 (ROC) when I STILL have not seen all of Wave 2 in stores yet? I still haven't seen ParaViper, Doctor or Duke in Delta six accelerator suit yet. I have a feeling that buy the time they get Wave 3 in the stores around here GI Joe; The Geriatic years will be out!
I don't mind seeing like Wave 4-5 advertised if Wave 3 is out....but being 3 waves ahead of what I can purchase is just PI$$ING me off!

Welcome to my world. Everything always comes out later in Canada.
But it's not as bad as it used to be. Back in the 80s when I was a kid, going to the US was like time travel. TV shows were on their next season, comics were three months advanced and GI Joes were, I don't know how many waves ahead. It was awesome, I'd stock up on everything. It sucked getting home though because it seemed like forever before I'd ever see something new again.

I've barely glimpsed C1W2 long enough to get Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Reactive Armor Duke and Cobra Commander are hanging on the pegs at TRU but I don't want the former and the latter is the ones with the holes not filled in so I don't want it.
Helix's wave still hasn't been seen locally.

We've only got Wave1s at my local store. HOWEVER, I don't hunt anymore so I don't know if Target or WalMart are in the game.

1&2 are swamping the pegs here, Occasionally enough of them will disappear to put out one box of wave 3, but pitviper and crimsonviper are gone in minutes Helix is just starting to hang around for a few days. wave four I feel will never see the shelves with the stock of wave 1,2,and3 clogging the works! I put in a pre order with BBTS for wave five cause I ain't even going to take the chance trying to carch a City Strike Snake Eyes (resolute) at retail!

I share the frustration.
But I do so with a grin...

truthfully I have been used to bad distro on hasbro's part for the Joe line for 3 years now, this sounds no different from what I have been dealing with all that time.

This topic baffles me on account of the fact that there are both collections and waves.
Collection 1, Wave 1:
Destro
Desert Ambush Duke
Neo-Viper
Snake-Eyes
Storm Shadow
Baroness
Collection 2 Wave 1:
Breaker
Multicam Heavy Duty
Accelerator Suit Ripcord
Joecamo Scarlett
Shipwreck
Viper Commando
Zartan
Collection 1, Wave 2:
Cobra Commander
Reactive Armor Duke
Ice-Viper
Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes
Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow
Reactive Armor Scarlett
Collection 2, Wave 2:
Cover Girl
Deep-Six
Reactive Armor Heavy Duty
Sgt. Stone
Collection 1, Wave 3:
Accelerator Suit Duke
Reactive Armor Ripcord
Arctic Snake-Eyes
The Doctor
Paris Pursuit Baroness
Arctic Storm Shadow
Para-Viper
Collection 2, Wave 3:
Flash
General Hawk
Crimson Neo-Viper
Eel
Elite-Viper
PIT Commando
Helix
After that, the line gets into the more traditional wave system, with just a Wave 4 without Collections consisting of:
Kamakura
Charbroil
Red Fang Ninja
Nano-Viper
Night Adder
Right now, the furthest I've seen has been wave 2's. Collection 2's wave 2 is abundant, however Collection 1's is unbelievable scarce. No signs of either wave 3's, depressingly enough.
