Title: Is PoC coming out in Canada?
Post by: DPrime on August 15, 2010, 04:35:48 PM
Stupid question, probably. I know I'm not on this site as often as I should, being a proud Canuck and all, and this has probably come up already... but do we know?

It's already here :)

I've heard some Wal-Marts got them, haven't seen any at my local TRU but if you're in Toronto we have them now in stock at Silver Snail.

Halifax...

I admit I haven't had a chance to do much shopping as I've been away on training. I did check one Walmart here yesterday and it didn't have anything yet.

They're not at the Brossard TRU (South Shore of Montreal) just yet, but they're at the Brossard Walmart at Quartier Dix-30.

I didn't realize Zellers and TRU had sightings yet, that's great. I need a couple more Alley Vipers and better get another CC to trade now before everyone discovers he's not very rare (or very desirable, either way).

Keep checking the Sightings threads Dprime for your province, its always pretty good in letting you know if thing are coming out and where they are available or not available (since many boardies clean out certain areas lol)

Yeah, unfortunately it's pretty dead for the Atlantic provinces... Man, I need to move back to Ontario! ;)

I'd make it a point to post myself but I will be out of the country for several months pretty soon...

If you can't wait for PoC to arrive, you can buy a set online?  For instance HJL Collectables (Hal)  or if you want to killed with shipping costs places like BBTS.com.

In Halifax?

Check Strange Adventures, they have a store Downtown on sackville street and a new one in Dartmouth. They bring in lots of GI Joe stuff: www.strangeadventures.com (http://www.strangeadventures.com) or call 902-425-2140

The TRU I visited Saturday didn't have anything, but the Wally had a good selection... before I stormed it.  ;D

Yeah, thing is I was able to pick up most stuff already on a trip to the states, but there's a problem with my HISS and I want to see if I can get another one and exchange the faulty one... kind of hard since I can't go back down to where I bought it originally (should have checked in the hotel!).

I buy stuff from BBTS, etc all the time. I've been hit pretty bad with an order from them (the 7-packs - pile of loot), Sideshow and Mastercollector lately. I try to avoid the high shipping and customs but if I want the exclusive stuff you gotta bite the bullet.

Yeah, I like Strange Adventures a lot, but like I said, I kind of want to get something where I can exchange the old one in as defective... Thanks though - great store! I bought quite a few of the 25th figures there when it was hard getting them on the shelves...

I get killed in shipping costs from BBTS.COM at least once a month, I do not bother with Pile of Loot as I want it right away.  So I buy from HJL collectables when I can to save money.  I know my UPS driver by first name, and he drives by my home now and then just to say hi.

Wal-Mart at Dufferin Mall had a set, but they're gone now. They have the vehicles though.

Zellers at Galleria also has the vehicles.

TRU has all of their Rise of Cobra stuff on sale. They're really trying to clear it out so they can get new stuff in. Anyone want a Neo-Viper or Destro?

Well, I can now confirm that the Pursuit of COBRA has tracked into the Prairies.
Picked up CC, Duke, Beachhead, Snowjob and the GhostHawk today.
Retail price is under $8 for the figures and $19 for the vehicles
