Hasbro said the third week of January is when they can start sending them out to stores... which is next week. If the Movie toyline release dates are anything to go by, we could see them in some stores by the end of next week (if they start sending them out at the start of the week).

I ended up ordering most of wave 1 from Amazon, which might end up saving me a couple dollars from our full retail prices here, but won't get here until the end of next week at the earliest. (it took them a week to ship, and one package has been bumped all around America for 11 days)
The rest of wave one I will get locally, when they are on sale.
