I was over come with joy when I saw the in the Chatham Wal Mart today.  Picked up Duke, Beachhead, Snow Job, Alley Viper and Storm Shadow $7.92 (the only figures they had left to pic from) along with the Doom Cycle $18.92 and Wolf Hound $26.92.  Passed on the "Sky Hawk"  HISS and Joe Mech.

WTHeck!!!!

Actually, this is good.  I did hit a Wal-Mart today.  Pegs were empty.

I only picked up Wave 1 Duke from a dealer as I gambled that there would be in stores soon and I didn't want to pay $15.

Looks like I will be returning what I have left from Alpha Wave 3 soon.

Condor Knight and Heroes had better prices on some of the vehicles (actaully Hal beat them all).

Thanks for the heads up.  Alley Viper, Firefly and Snow Job are must haves.

I will be hitting 2-4 walmarts a day until I find them... I know they will not have the Cobra Commander card but looking for it will be fun!

I already have CC.  I am 90% sure I will have the rest of the wave today.  Anyone want something?

We have "No Joy" at the following locations:

You left the Cobra Comander? I would taken him as well.  If all the hype on the Internet is true that will be a hard figure to find because of the COBRA card.  And this would make a even better trading bait then the RoC Alpha Wave 3 was!

Saw some of them at Walmart Cambridge. Someone beat me to it so no C.C. or Alley Vipers (Boo!)

Still, I got Beach Head, Fire Fly, Snake Eyes, Duke and super lame Storm Shadow. I left behind the Snow Job as I already have one.

Not bad for less then $8.00 each.

They also had 1 Snow Cat (or whatever you want to call it) and the Dreadnok on bike and the Ghost Hawk.

Hiss Tank was gone.

I also had another "No Joy" at the following locations:
Walmert at Markham Rd. and Steeles Ave.
Walmart at Markville Mall
TRU at Markville Mall They are in a middle of a redesign and GI Joe display got slashed in half and worst of all it was squished with the True Heros line...

I got special permission to travel north to Stouffville later tonight.

Great news. I held off buying a Wolfhound at the Can-Con (actually, I just bought so many 25th and vintage items that I ran out of cash). I just hope they ship them in good enough quantities. I just noticed the above post that mentioned the multi-lingual cards. I hope they still have the amazing artwork. I can't wait for the future waves. I think everyone's going to need a couple Jungle Vipers.

Stouffville Walmart was a bust as well...  :(  I still have 2 more Walmarts in the East Side of TO to visit tomorrow and then I can start the tour over again.

pretty neat these are coming in full force

I already have US versions coming of most, but these will be great to have to open. Grabbed a Cobra Mech off the top of a pallet, the restock hadn't happened yet but they were out to be shelved, so I just opened a case while no one was looking.

Sitting in the parking lot of Hwy 7/Hwy 400 Walmart with my score!!!

They had everything except CC.  I took both Alley Vipers, Firefly, Snowjob, Wolfhound, Doom Cycle and Ghost Hawk.  They still have HISS, Doom Cycle, Ghost Hawk and multiples of the remaining figs.

The vehicles are the next isle over from the figures near the back wall.

Found your remnants this afternoon. No sign of CC, Snow job or of course alley vipers. I have zero interest in cc, but wouldn't mind the other two. After i left there was SS, lots of duke & beachhead. No more FFs or SEs. Saw the doom cycle and the ghost hawk, but no wolf hounds.
Must say the figures look fantastic and so does the packaging.

Fanshawe Park WM on the edge of London got one case of figures and one case each of all the vehicles. Nothing had been touched so I grabbed the CC and Alley Viper. Left all the rigs since I already worked a trade for them on yojoe. My gut feeling was that we were gonna get screwed out of the first wave entirely, I am glad I am wrong. I love that the stands went back to 25th style and that Cobras are two-pegged now! This line is far superior to the movie line, which wasn't without its charms on its own.

Was at the Warden & Eglinton Wal-Mart Super Center yesterday at around 6PM and saw the following:

Snake Eyes (several)
Snow Job (several)
Beachhead (several)
Duke (several)
Firefly (one left)

I grabbed the 1 Cobra Commander & Alley Viper they had along with Beachhead & Snake Eyes. They also had a Hiss Tank and two Snow Wolfs.

I just wondered if the Tiger Claws had been your returns is all. They were kinda out of place, I hadn't seen any at WM in about a month and then two just sitting there, the two I was most eager to find more of. In the past I've found odd things that had to be returns like a USA carded Viper I found there around the time the movie toys came out. Anyways, I am clearing out all my W3 doubles on YJ's forums, or trying to, but I wanted a few more ATVs since I had a hard time finding those at Winners. I don't think I need any more thanks though.

Good to hear people are also finding these, my local Wal Mart in Goderich still doesn't have any.  No figures at all, not even RoC, except Combat Heroes.   ::)  I still want to get a CC and Firefly.  Part of the fun is hunting for them, going into your local store and finding them on the pegs.   :lol:

For all those out there who refuse to shop at Walmart, fear not you can still pick up PoC at Retail.  I was at Heros World Comics at Warden and Highway 7 to pick up GI Joe 157 and they have PoC figs.  They are $14.99 each and they still had the Alley-Viper and Firefly in stock, actually they had the whole wave in stock.  I did not see Cobra Commander.

They were next to the 25th Ann figures that are still $14.99 each.  I think all Comic Shops are charging $14.99 by default.  I want to check Planet X, but I'm sure they are $14.99 there too.

I just picked up all the POC figures last night @ the Walmart in Barrie.

Picked up Snow Job, Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Firefly, Alley Viper, and a Wolfhound at Wal Mart yesterday. Probably had like two or three cases worth and it looks like I was the first on them as the two pegs were overflowing. Vehicles were a different story. They were all scattered and I only saw the one Wolfhound, a HISS, and the two Mech Suits. The figures are on multi-lingual cards but the awesome character art on the front is intact.

The only POC I've seen was one GhostHawk for $18.97 at St. Catharines Fourth Ave. Walmart.  Probably won't see too much there for a while because one of the employees is a big Joe fan and usually scoops up the first batch.

PoC is at the Scarborough Town Centre Walmart.  Someone already picked up the AVs and Fireflys.  The rest are still there.  They put the items in 3 different places so you have to look around to find them all.

Finally found POC at Zellers at the seaway mall!!!  They only had 2 mech suits.  I bought the cobra one for $24.99.  Does anyone know how much they are at Walmarts?

Thanks

Nothing at Markville Mall Walmart.  They are in the middle of a reset, they are going to move the GI Joe to the last rack behind the Video Games.  I also went to Stoufville and the lady there must have been having a bad day as when I asked her about when they were coming out as they had the pegs labeled for about a week now.  And she just blurted out in 2 weeks... I guess I'm not the only that asked her...  :P

I had a similar experience when I asked the lady reorganizing my Walmart and she said "if you don't see any then there aren't any and I certainly don't see any".  Real friendly Walmart customer service.

I don't figure they'll stay so cheap, but I am not prepared to pay more than ten bucks for joes at retail. It's scary to think the $13 price tag could ever come true. At that cost may as well import everything from the States or just border hop for joe shopping.

Seems like walmart got in an initial couple cases and they've since dried up and now they're waiting for their resets. I've been to a few different walmarts over the past few weeks and I've only seen the new figures a couple times. Still haven't seen a snow job, alley viper or CC. Right now all I see are the mech thingies, which i have zero interest in. Lots of sparseness overall in the walmart toy departments, so hopefully things will change in the coming weeks.

My Walmarts are in the middle of resetting the toy section, so I imagine once that is done we'll see some new product.

I saw Tron toys are listed to be showing up in October if anyone is into Tron.

Most tanks don't have windshields......

I am not too hot on some of it either - esp. the fact that a small breeze can cause it to pop up without pressing the button.  The nose turret is pretty flimsy as well.  The dual cockpits are nice though.

The Brown colour is not helping it either.  But after seeing all the custom paint jobs done on the HISS tank, it really does make it better.  Once I finish wrecking all my RoC Alphas perfecting my painting skills I will paint mine!

Walmart at bayview and major mac got some stock in. Seemed like two full cases minus cobra commander and 1 firefly. Odd that the alley vipers were left. I picked up the alley vipers and snow job. I'm now done with this wave. :) Hopefully it will come in decent quantities for those who still haven't found them. I haven't decided if I'll keep both alley vipers though. I'll offer the other one up at cost if I decide to part with it.

If indeed a complete predator figure can be built with the various bits and pieces, I'd be tempted to get more figures to build it. But only at sale and/or clearance prices. Time will tell on that.

The fabeled stock room is a bit of a myth conception at Wal Mart as there isn't that much toy stock in the back room and in my experiences absolutley ZERO when it comes to Joe merch. What they have on shelves is usually what they have. Unless it's Transformers stuff, they always have TONS of that back there for some reason.

Well, I have seen and reported on restocks taking place, and have seen COBRA Commanders popping up.
I have two ( one opened and one MOC for the novelty of it), and have seen others on the pegs.
The big seller appears to be the Alley Viper, with Duke, Firefly, Storm Shadow and Beachhead selling slower. The others are moving at a nice pace, it seems--though Doom cycles and Ghost Hawks are not moving fast.

Smaller centres,  like those in my province of Saskatchewan are easier locales to find these in. Obviously, the more population around you the harder they will be to score the more popular ones.
If you can, hit some of the outlying places around you.....if you are travelling. Keep trying.

Uh...

There are no words.

I found mine at Walmarts and Zellers just by going.  As others have said, have patience and there will be more.  Or like with other items, just wait and 3 months from now he won't be on anyone's radar and will be pretty cheap like most 25th stuff is now.

Yeah I just got mine by going into Wal-marts whenever I had a reason to be there. I am at the point I'd probably just leave any W1 stuff I find now, I have two open AV's and two sealed, and I feel like that's being greedy since I can't do anything cool with them anyways. If anyone wants me to scout for more here in London just let me know, we have three Wal-marts and I believe five Zellers.

I saw a case of wave 1 figures at the local walmart, only the alley viper was missing.  I can't catch a break with this figure.  I even bought one off ebay only to be told they over sold and there were none left. :'(

I can sell you one if you want. 

Thanks for the offer Bandonov,  but I'll keep an eye out for now.  My Zellers has yet to stock POC figures and TRU should be bursting with figures in a month or so.

same here, the AV is out there, just have to be there at the right time I guess.  I used to collect Mcfarlane Sports Picks and getting to the chase figs was always a challenge.  if you missed them going out.. you missed the chases.  they never usually restocked them after that.  Hotwheels seem to be the big deal aswell.  there are lots of guys around here who collect or scalp treasure hunts from that line.  once a certian car has come and gone.. its gone too.  It seems that the Joe stuff gets restocked, or some from the one wave show up in later waves aswell.

Found a full brand new case of wave 2 at bayview/major mac walmart this morning. Managed to score all the ones i wanted including the 2 jungle vipers. :) Awsome looking figures. Man, if that's it for wave 1 that wasn't a very big window and not much product. Heck, TRU hasn't even gotten any in yet! I guess the wait is on for wave 3, next year sometime.

Has it been confirmed we're getting spirit and quick kick at TRU. I see people saying "when" they come, but has it been confirmed by a legit source? Considering they haven't even gotten any in yet, I'm just wondering.

What happened to wave 1?  I here the States is all wave 2 now as well.  And why couldn't Hasbro pack two Alley vipers in a case like the Jungle Vipers?  And why short pack troop builders ever at all?  They better not pull this BS with the Shock Trooper.  Maybe some Alley Vipers in the Shock Trooper wave because so far the case consists of only four new figures and the rest repeats.

The Alley Viper is being restocked in later Wave 2 revision cases.  So he will still be coming to shelves for the next while.  Unfortunately you'll probably still have to be lucky to snag one.

My local Walmart had only 1 Destro and TK Snake Eyes last night.  The shelf was full of wave 1 so I think they put out what the have space for.  Good thing is I can keep checking it over the next couple days and get the rest.

A friend of mine came back from Denver on a long haul and he picked up Spirit and Quick Kick from Toys R Us.  I love that Spirit figure.  He is definately one of the best ones that have come out in a long time.

I recently bought my son some of the Hunt for Decepticons Transformers.  Comparing the 2 Hasbro products.  The production value has gone up for the POC line, the quality is amazing.  The new Transformers are very poor in their quality of plastic and colouring.  It is good to see that Hasbro is putting the quality into the Joe line.  Now we just have to get the kids out there buying it.

How can we get the kids buying them when we are buying all the army builders? Sometimes I think we are all a bit short sighted. We devour the army builders and leave pegs full of Duke and Storm Shadow and expected someone else to buy them. That's not exactly helping keep the Joe line alive.

Wave 2 has hit both North and South Oshawa Walmarts.

North restocked wave 1 and only had 1 figure from wave 2 put out (Dusty) and South store had both waves stocked but no Recondo or Jungle Vipers :(

I do have extra wave 2 Zartan, Destro, Dusty and TK SE as well as wave 1 AV's so send me an IM if your in need.

Well, Hasbro doesn't help things by packing the army builders so short. They clearly think the mainstay characters are going to do better business, as far as I can tell. Seems to me the army builders are a bone they toss to the collector base. I doubt little kids worry about them the way most of us do. As a kid I always hunted for specific characters. But I guess it was different then, I never saw ANY Storm Shadow on the shelf until I was about 15 years old, and even then it was Ninja Force. All my Stormys, and Snake Eyes came to me second hand as a kid. It's weird really, I remember the 1986 Viper being a peg warmer in its day. I suppose it's complicated marketing a toy line whose fan base is mostly adults by now.
Title: Re: Pursuit of Cobra @ Wal Mart
Post by: morgardee on October 05, 2010, 03:17:47 PM
It's my belief that that even if Hasbro had 4 Alley Vipers per case (wave 1), we would still see Strom Shadow and Duke warming the pegs. The reason I can say that is I'm seeing 6 + Dukes and Storm Shadow figures on the pegs and nothing else. It's not like these characters were released in greater numbers, but that we, the adult collectors are buying up all the cool army builders.

My favorite G.I. Joe figure is still the same one from when I was a kid, the original orange Alley Viper and when I was a kid I was able to get him.

My point is we are going to be the reason why Joe gets the axe next time around. It's a good product, but there is only so many times the kiddies will want Duke, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes and Destro. I'm also guilty of this to an extent. I often think "I should leave that for some kids. Wait, some other collector will get it, so I might as well buy it."

If I may be candid, this makes no sense.

If the product is selling......its not going to matter if its selling to kids or adults.

For the last decade and a bit, kids just haven't been interested in GIJOE in numbers that really matter.
Sure, Hasbro has tried to draw kids back into the equation.........but nothing has held for long.
POC appears to be  "gamer influenced" with its styling and looks to be meant to appeal to that demographic.
The new cartoon should help, but my guess is that its going to appeal to that same demographic more than it will bring in new kids

As long as the product is selling, and reorders and restocks move and do not languish on the pegs or shelves, then the line is going to remain healthy.

Buy what you like, as much as you like, as the stores can ALWAYS reorder more

Well, "wants" are subjective, right?
 GIJOE has long been a fickle brand, despite whatever retailers and Hasbro have tried to inject into it, or the direction they've steered it toward. The number of pegs of GIJOE product has is always telling ( especially up here in Canada)--as its seldom more than a couple of pegs in most retailers.
Sets that we think would go over big.......don't always do so--and when they do........its often only on clearance. ROC Night Ravens didn't sell much at reg price, but they sure moved at $10--and I'd bet more then a few end up under X-mas trees this year. In fact, Hasbro has long lamented that GIJOE only seems to really sell come Christmas time--go figure!

In my local area......the POC peg warmers are Storm Shadow, Desert Battle Snake-Eyes, maybe a Duke,  and the vehicles. I've checked my 3 Wally's about 1-2 times a week for the past 4 weeks and the POC stock of figures has sold and been restocked. Vehicles have not moved much at all.
I can tell you that I have seen COBRA Commanders on the pegs 3 times, but I have only seen about a dozen figures on the pegs at any one time, anywhere in my local area--and when the stuff has been selling all that is left is one or two figures.

I found a Sigma Six figure ( Long Range) at my local Zellers, but that's the oldest thing I have seen there. They had a bunch of the target stuff, but.........golly at $29 per set, its no wonder none of them were selling. Even if they were $5 ea......they'd not really appeal to me.

I have to disagree with this. I think right now collectors are about the only ones buying this line. Kids like the main characters. That's why greivous is the #1 selling villain in the SW line (yes ahead of vader). Main characters sell to the kids. The fact I've seen evidence of maybe 1/2 a dozen cases of figures in the last couple months at a given walmart, and the only peg warmers are duke and SS, (and 2-3 of each hardly constitutes a peg warmer) makes me think that kids just aren't picking these up right now. We've had so little product come in from this line that I think it's safe to say that if the kids pick up this line at all, then the few dukes and SSs will go. But there's also no media support for this line. The movie has faded (despite the ridiculous restocking at TRU), and there's no cartoon or commercials. How are kids even finding out about this line? The grievous over Vader example shows how important a media presence is.

I dunno, it is a tough balance for an in between line like this. I just hope they bring in enough to meet at least collectors' demand.

Since this thread as been totally hijacked... I will put my 2 cents in too  ;D

To sell toys in big numbers you need 2 things... a TV Show and Adversting!  Hasbro does neither for GI Joe, but they do it for Star Wars.  If you go to the toy section you see how big the section for Star Wars is compared to GI Joe.  Hasbro is counting on Renegades to save the line.  That is why they plan to change the nationality on more GI Joe characters.  Heck, I hear that Lady Jaye is going to be latino now.  Hasbro has said that PoC is a filler line until Renegades comes out, so I'm with ARROW and total agree that we should buy what we want.  Because if we do not buy them then nobody will.  Of the 4 Walmarts by my house there is one that I'm the only one that is buying GI Joes there.  But that is just my opinion.  
Title: Re: Pursuit of Cobra @ Wal Mart
Post by: ARROW on October 05, 2010, 10:12:06 PM
POC is "sexy" looking product--it really is. The "Metal Gear Solid" vibe with the figures is really attractive, and the detailing on the figures is very intricate.

But Star Wars on its WORST day can beat out POC ............simply because Star Wars has a fan base that eclipses GIJOE by an order of magnitude greater numbers.

Honestly, Hasbro has put a considerable amount of effort into making GIJOE an attractively packaged product. Not just POC, but just about every line going back  quite some time.
Sigma Six was incredible looking product, 40th Anniversary stuff was note-perfect, Classic Collection had fantastic painted box covers..........its not really helped.
GIJOE sales have remained ( its been said) consistently "soft"--that is the stuff sells, but not terribly fast or in large volumes. It tends to be an annual seller--4th quarter/Christmas time, not a perennial seller ( year-round)
In the last TEN years........we've seen about EIGHT or nine different incarnations of GIJOE, in essentially 5-6 different scales. That's pretty much shooting in the dark as far as marketing the brand goes.

Personally, I LOVE the styling of POC, and I hope and pray ( and expect, to a degree) that it will continue as the "styling" for Renegades because its been an exciting and compelling spin on GIJOE.
ROC was definitely ho-hum compared to this stuff.

But last night I was at the Walmart in Barrie and picked up the new VAMP w/ Double Clutch.

The VAMP is a pretty sweet vehicle and there was only one on the shelf.  I really like that they have made it with multiple ports so weapons can be moved anywhere on the VAMP.  A pretty nice update on Double Clutch too.

I found two Jungle Vipers at a W-M in London last week but haven't had much luck other than a couple Alley Vipers here and there. Cobra Commander and the other short packed W1 guys are starting to stagnate around here finally but the army builders are scarce. I've got five of each so I think I'm good, I can scout for more though if anyone is having a hard time getting out to stores.

I've got five of each so I think I'm good, I can scout for more though if anyone is having a hard time getting out to stores.
Kronser - if you happen to come across another AV and maybe a couple JVs, I would gladly take them!

There is some D-Bag running around the east end constantly swapping figs, and now probably the same guy removing items.  We've got a definite problem.  I only hope someone wakes up at the stores.  Though I don't hold out much hope.

I know of a guy who did that with ROC Sharc with Ice Storm.  Bought it, removed the head for a custom, then returned it to Walmart and said it was defective and was missing a head... just to save $8

I know seriously...if you cant afford an 8 dollar toy and is forced to steal it, you got issues...don't they have more important things to worry about, like maybe getting a job or something...this is the kind of stuff that turns me off to retail, aside from the lack of product on the shelves.  Which is why I just buy online these days.

North Oshawa Walmart restocked with wave 2.

Yesterday we had empty Joe pegs so these JUST came in last night. Im not sure if we know exactly the case breakdown but we got:

Destro x 2
Dusty x 2
Zartan x 2
Snake Eyes x 2
Jungle Viper x 2
Recondo x 1
Snake Eyes (wave 1) x 1

Looks like Recondo is a short pack and thats why everyones having a hard time finding him.

...and yes I grabbed the Jungle Vipers and Recondo that I was missing.

The Walmart in Barrie had the Cobra Fury and new Vamp.  I grabbed the Fury last night.  The Rage was always one of my favorite vehicles.  They have updated it with some cool features (ie: new wheels, spring loaded rocket launcher).  I haven't seen it anywhere else and I was very happy to get my hands on it already.

Uxbridge walmart had about three cases of wave one, but no alley vipers. 3 cobra commanders, and i think all the rest. Just no alley vipers. Also only a couple wave 1 vehicles on the shelf.

I have not seen wave 2 vehicles in my travels, but usually there is at least a few wave 1 vehicles with little to no room for a restock yet. So wave 2 vehicles might not come for a little while, at least in my neighbourhood. If wave 1 vehicle stock is any indication, there will be no problem with wave 2.

I got 3 Alley Vipers and I'm done. I've even passed on a 4th now. I bought 2 Cobra Commanders and two Fire Fly figures and that's it for them as well.

Its been a bit weird with the restockse.
Wave 1 keeps showing up in my local--and often full wave 1 restocks--every figure including the big wants like Alley-Vipers. My suspicion is that the vehicles are piling up in the stock room, because the figures are moving steadily,  but the vehicles are placed on the shelves EXACTLY as they were each time I visit.
I've even taken to alternating stacking them front side/back-side on the shelf as my own "secret" means of keeping track--and they pretty much are not being touched.
Wave 2 was a blip here--I'm GUESSING it'll show in force in the next few weeks as X-mas approaches.
There is more product around than I would have guessed--and really my only gauge has been Walmart.
TRU hasn't acknowledged POC on their pegs yet, and Zellers is such a train wreck in how they stock toys that they MIGHT have a peg full of 4 Jungle Dukes and that's it. Nothing else.

Of course, everyone needs a night raven for their yard work! This is pretty common these days at walmart. Whether it's a clearance item or a brand new item (Jabba and the TIE Bomber come to mind), they sometimes have an endcap full of an item and stick it in an obscure place. You really gotta hunt for some things.

New wave at Cambridge. The only figure left was Snake Eyes. I bought it.

So if anyone needs, I have some extra Shock Troopers and an extra Snake Eyes  ;D
Title: Re: Pursuit of Cobra @ Wal Mart
Post by: morgardee on December 15, 2010, 04:17:59 PM
Picked up the Shock Trooper today and Duke. I passed on the Storm Shadow. I just can't do it. He is fugly and I already have a billion Storm Shadow figures. The Snake Eyes I got the other day was alright. I was surprised he came with detachable silencers for two of his guns plus 3 swords, two removable knifes, an Uzi, a sub machine gun, two hand guns, a spare head and a partridge in a pear tree.

Storm Shadow has that silly budo looking chest plate and some other stuff that didn't wow me.

I also bought Duke with the huge guns on his back. I figure a new head will do wonders for that new Duke body once I ditch the huge gun / backpack thing.

Man, how do these guys ever get any missions done? I seems like they spend all their time  accessorizing with the latest fashion.

Hasbro, please mix in some new face characters with the old.

I've always had an issue with figure not being able to hold everything that they come with, plus the 3 swords was a bit of over kill IMO. I did really dig the silencers and the fact that you can put a silencer in it's own spot of his right leg holster. The web gear just got a bit cluttered looking.

It is a good figure, but I don't think I would say he's the best yet. I still like version 3 of Snake Eyes (the one with the silver knifes on his chest). He just looked cool to me when I was younger.

Wasn't there a more recent version of Snake Eyes where you could clip the extra gun from his hip?

I just found the Snake Eyes figure today. Reeeeally diggin' it.

I was gonna grab a Shock Trooper too, but my display shelf is so cluttered as it is and I need to leave room for Jungle Viper. (he gets his own corner)

The whole wave is available at Wal-Mart @ Dufferin Mall if anyone needs their fix.

Found 2 shock troopers on the pegs today (major mac and bayview). And shockingly, no snake eyes. So someone(s) bought the three snake eyes, one duke and one shock trooper, but left the rest. There were 2 dukes and 3 SS left after I left. Looks like another SS pegwarmer. Interestingly the second shock trooper i found was down the aisle on a shelf behind some bakugon? stuff, but in plain sight. The shelves are still pretty bare post-x-mas. Almost like a half hearted attempt to hide it. Just seemed kinda random. Anyways, I'm happy to have gotten the shock trooper. I may or may not keep the second one, I haven't decided yet. Still need to find SE.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and joined specifically for finding PoC figures. These figures are just gorgeous and I love them but is it just me or are they obnoxiously difficult to find? I mean moreso than other high demand figures.

Anyways, I usually frequent the Walmart at Runnymede and St. Clair since it's close to me and I've had mixed experiences. At first I thought they just weren't carrying many figures - then one morning I had to stop in an lo and behold they had 3 pegs filled with figures. I picked up the ones I needed and left. I went back to Walmart two days later and EVERYTHING was picked clean (vehicles as well). So I'm not so sure now if it's Walmart simply not ordering frequently enough or if it's simply a case of there being several other collector's around. I'll update their stock if I see any.

Does anyone know what the stock is like at the Sherway Walmart?

Someone mentioned Walmart at Dufferin Mall a few weeks ago, does anyone know how stock is now? Is it consistant?

I just picked up a w3 Duke and SS as well as a snow cutter at 400/7 Walmart. That was the last of the Joe stuff.


EDIT* Simple question - Has anyone written to Walmart Canada and Hasbro about the lack of stock?

Also, I picked up the AWE last week and when I got home I noticed that Night Fox didn't come with a neckerchief. Anyone else have this problem? I know some people online were complaining about it interfereing with his vest so I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro changed it.

This a problem across the board.  Perhaps you should post a wanted topic so people can help you find what you need.

I don't think I'd mind if mine didn't have the hanky - it is more of a nuisance.  I'd be happier if the cap stayed on though.  It's looser than Flint's beret on Renegades.

It looks like they had about three cases but someone (of course) beat me to the Shock Troopers. I did pick up a Snake Eyes and Duke and plenty remained including this nugget....(http://http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6586/dsc00203ve.jpg)

Unreal that this sort of stuff occurs. Anyhow, I would have loved to get my hands on a Shock Trooper (just looking for two). It looks like if I do find them it will be a complete fluke.

My Walmarts have Joes on one peg row, but tiered on three pegs on that row. Vehicles are stacked underneath on the shelf, and beneath again on the lower shelf.
They are, in fact, on the planogram for the stores in my area.

There were three pegs. But the entire section was so sparse. Normally when I go to Wal mart it's the exact opposite: tons of other crap (mostly Star Wars) and two lonely Joe pegs with wave one remnants.

The reason some stores don't have it set yet is because it is after christmas so they are resetting and stock is low (which is the norm for after the holidays). Late feb/early march you will see it pick up.

Post by: darth cujo on February 07, 2011, 08:46:32 PM
For TRU it's inventory time. But I wouldn't be surprised if other stores do inventory this time of year. Low stock means less counting. So they don't bring as much in til they're done. Inventory or no, the reset is normally like this in january, so new stock should flow in again soon. Hopefully!

I think someone mentioned finding a VAMP at a walmart. Is this the case with anyone else? I've only seen wave 1 of the larger vehicles at my local walmarts. I have yet to see a VAMP. I'd like one, so have been on the look out.

Thanks for the heads up!  I told him I wouldn't give him more than 3 anyway.

He wants Snow Job, Duke, Beach, Firefly, Desert SS and Shock Trooper.

You'll be fine for getting Duke and SS, I will check to see if I still have a MOC Beachhead at home. I have the rest buy they are loose now.

Just got back from the Scarborough Town Centre, and they are $3 everywhere!

I bought 5 more.  I left the Dirt Bike version as I do not care for it. 

This years Freebie table is going to have great stuff!

Just a quick note, the Walmart at Kennedy and Shepherd (Scarborough) has some HISS and Wolf Hounds (about 3 of each) on "clearance."  Clearance being they are $25 plus tax instead of $26.92 plus tax!!!

Also they had a bunch of the Iron Man 2 rolling base.  The one that looks sort of like the ROCC for $25 plus tax.

We did not buy enough HISS to get the running change.  they can be found easily in the US.  ROSS only had the Black version.  I have one if you want one, still MIB.

The box is sealed and is in fair shape.  It was in a ROSS store display so... you know what can happen.  It has the huge ROSS sticker on it that has been ripped off so I could not see the 12.99 price on it.

I was at the Walmart on Hightech Road (Bayview and Highway 7, The Old Sam's Club location) they had a full case of Wave 3 figs out but no Shockies.  I also noticed that they put out the THOR movie figs out.  Thor will just be like Iron Man with 3 or 4 different versions of Thor per wave.  I will be rushing to buy these  ::)

You can get that Iron man Whiplash dude plus Iron man and the Navy robot at one of the Walmart stores near me for $10.00. I picked up the box a few times but have always passed.

I spotted Low-Light and a re-stock of just about everyone at Wal-Mart Dufferin Mall yesterday.

The Alley Viper I picked up was on US card.

Unlikely. There were two of them. Also Shock Troopers, Jungle Vipers, Beach-Head, Snake Eyes, Skydive, Low-light.

No Destro or Shadow Tracker though. Maybe it's a weird wave?
