    Chill out, the 1st retail sighting was less than a week ago. There will be plenty to go around, just needs to hit saturation. Plus I have a feeling this figure will be a major shelf warmer.

    Yup. Picked up Thrust last night. If you would've posted this yesterday, I probably would've hooked you up. XD

    There's been 1 or 2 sightings but Wave 4 hasn't even hit full saturation yet so I expect it'll be a while before he gets a full release

    And quickly soldout too.

    I'm only now just seeing Wave 4 around here, I can't fathom when I'll see Gears in wild.

    That doesn't mean anything, stores are getting in waves from all over the place. Recently my store got in a box of Wave 2 & Wave 4, and then about a week later they got in a couple each of Gears & Thrust, but absolutely none of Wave 4 or 5. So apparently some cases are shipping with just a Gears/Thrust pair in them in addition to Wave 3 or prior toys.
