Single Assortment: Wave 7 2008 in ONTARIO
« on: December 09, 2008, 02:03:28 PM »

Wave 7 2008 (or 25th Wave 11) is out.  The wave consists of Sgt. Airborne, Cobra Eel, Flint, Scarlett, Specialist Trakker and Zartan.

I have found them this week at a Wal-Mart in Toronto and Oshawa.

These are now hitting walmarts. Found the wave in the GTA. Only one case on the pegs though.

I was at a Windsor Zellers and found a Bazooka soldier. It was the only 25th single card I could see. I walked the aisle two or three times to try to find any sign of another single card and finally found a parka Snake Eyes that had fallen behind some shelved Transformers. So they're in Windsor and they're selling like hot cakes.

I also also mention the distribution for this wave has been a hit and miss.  Some of the Wal-Marts I have been this week have been re-stocked with wave 10 instead of wave 11.  At least I finally found a freaking Mutt, after a month of searching.

I just got the entire wave at Walmart in east London (Argyle) but the White Oaks store was overflowing with them! Also...I found a Croc Master with the current wave on the back. What the hell? It's by far the coolest 25th I've picked up yet. Was this available earlier? I missed out on any of them pre-November as I had no idea they were out. I'd given up on Joes after the lazy Toys R Us repaints early in the decade. But now...wow I am hooked again. Sucks about Canada being left out so much though. I am from the States and was spoiled for years by TRU down there.

Found these in the GTA as well. Picked up Zartan and Eels. Left behind Matt Trakker, Cobra Flint, Para-Trooper, and two Bazooka Troopers. I really wanted an Eels on an American Card but given the dollars mighty dip that won't happen anytime soon. Do you guys think wave 10 will restock? I've given up trying to pick up an American Mutt & Junkyard so I'll have to find a Canadian one.

I found Wraith and snow Snake Eyes today in north London. All the W-M in London are pretty well stocked if you need some of this wave. North had scads of Croc Master and Tiger Force Duke as well.

But if you do end up in London you have to go to Heroes, they have probably 50-75 of the 25ths most on USA cards. I am feeling really guilty buying so many before Christmas for myself, but greed is getting the better of me. I am letting my wife give me all the comic-packs for Xmas at least...

They've had this wave in at Herooes in London already.  All that was left was an Eel.

Heroes restocked. I think the only ones I didn't see from the recent wave was Zartan. They had tons of 25th USA guys too.  Now if you're in London, Argyle Walmart is your best bet. However, London isn't close to much of anything so I don't know how much help that will be for you guys.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up a full set minus Zartan as they were sold of of him.

I'm surprised how much I like the Flint Cobra figure. I put the Cobra Head on and I'm calling him my Cobra mechanic.
