I went to the London Wal-mart Supercenter and found that Bravo Vehicles are marked down to $10, and Alpha $8. Picked up Ice Dagger, Crimson Dagger and Sky Sweeper for $28 total. And a spare Kamukura...............
-
I hope this at every Walmart! Will have to wait until tomorow to see!
-
I've seen it in 2 of the 3 walmarts in my area. (Kitchener)
-
None of my walmarts have any bravo class left.
-
I went to walmart and they had 4 Cobra Gunships and only 1 Steel Crusher that I bought for Latinjoe22. They had a lot of alpha vehicles but hurry soon as it looked like a 4 year old stocked the shelves and the product is getting damaged.
-
The one I went to had Ice Daggers and a maybe a Sky Sweeper. As for Alphas, they had mole pods.
-
I'd buy another Ice Dagger for $10.00 if I saw it. I like that toy.
-
Say the word Morg. I can try to get it.
-
I'm looking for a Steel Crusher if anyone comes across one.
-
Double check you Walmarts. I went to one that had the original pricing, but scanned the box and it came up with the sale price. That is probably why they still had a Dragonhawk left.
Thanks to this sale I was able to grab:
Armored Panther
Sky Sweeper
Mantis
Snarler Cycle
Cobra Gunship
Dragonhawk
Steel Crusher
Sorry Stealth, it was the only one they had.
-
I've never even seen a Snarler.

Which walmarts did you goto? Did they all have the sale?
-
All walmarts have the sale NDK. I went to the Walmart at Pharmacy and Eglinton- Sold Out on Bravos they had 2 mole pods only.
-
I also went the Walmart at Kennedy and Shappard (Agincourt Mall) they had only 2 Cobra Gunships and a few alpha vehicles. I will check out Markville Mall after work to see what they have. Looks like if you do not go out tonight you will miss out on this deal.
-
ah thanks, Ill go after work. Not sure if Ill get anything but for that price it makes good custom fodder. Is tonite the last day?
-

Tonight is not the last day but people are buying 2 or more at a time. so the stock will be gone by tonight. My guess is someone will post them for sale on EVILBAY to make a quick buck.
-
Cool, thanks for the heads up
-

Unknown, but doubtful. I scooped up my Dragonhawk and Steel Crusher at the Kennedy/Sheppard today. However they did not have the price cut posted so I had to scan the item to make sure. So if you don't see the price tag marked down, double check at a scanner.
-
Just came back from Markville walmart and the walmart on major mac and bayview. Not too much there, mainly gunships, panthers, molepods and atvs. Was hoping for a mantis but that was wishfull thinking. I picked up 1 ATV though. I might head back later in the week and get some stuff for my niece and nephew to play with.

You beat me to that Dragonhawk :wink:, I went to that walmart on my lunch hour and only found 2 cobra gunships!
-
the single pack figures are on for $5 at walmart now also
-
Say the word Morg. I can try to get it.
Word.
Also, anoyone that's going to the Can Joe Meet this year and see's the Dragon Hawk and Mantis, I need those, pretty please.
-
I could use a Snarler and a Dragonhawk!!!!!!!
-
The Walmarts in the East End of Toronto are sold out except a couple of Cobra Gunships. I will travel north to Stouffville later on this week to see what they have but since I will be going so late I do not expect to see anything available. Anyone on the West End of Toronto have any luck, I do not see your posts on stock availablity.
-
I hope TRU will clearance their stuff soon...they have much more stock and newer waves of vehicles.
edit: just saw your other thread band ;D
-
I saw a Crimson Hyrda at the walmart at majormac and bayview, the last bravo vehicle there. Crappy vehicle but a classic figure in aero viper
-
The Walmart at Stouffville was a bust :( No Bravos instock and only had a few Alpha vehicles and 3 rip attack toys left as well.
-
Im sure TRU will have a clearance soon enough for their bravo, they still have so many
-
The Walmart at Morningside and Milner had no Bravo vehicles and a few alpha vehicles. They had lots of Night Adders and Rex the Doctor Lewis.
-
I just picked up the Lava Pod (for the figure) and the Polar Shark at Wal-Mart for $8 - they were priced at $10 but when I got to the cash, they were cheaper.
They also had the Desert Rockslide and Tiger Claw - but I passed on those, as I don't care for the figures or the vehicles.

Do you have pics?
-
No pics but they had about 4 of each vehicle (minus the two I purchased) - the Walmart at 401 and winston churchill.
I aslo saw them at the Wal-Mart in Milton.
I was actually looking for the Wal-Mart exclusive Iron Man 6" figures - didn't find War Machine but these were a surprise bonus.
As for pictures - I will try and take some and post tomorrow.

That is awesome news. Thanks for the heads up.

They were not officially canceled. Actually, the opposite was stated from Hasbro in a recent Q&A:
QUESTION 4) What is the status of the ROC wave 3 Alpha Vehicles are we going to see them at retail or are they getting canceled?
ANSWER 4) Some quantities of this wave have started shipping, so keep an eye out!
It was rumored these were canceled because online stores canceled orders for them, however Hasbro never stated they were in fact canceld.

I wouldn't be surprised if these started showing up at Walmarts all over Ontario, in the next couple of weeks.

Yeah there are already auctions on Ebay from someone in Brampton and someone in Nova Scotia (don't bother though, they are both asking over $100 for EACH one).
I would say it is a safe bet they will start showing up around the country in the next few weeks.
Only interested in the Volcano Viper and a Tiger Claw to go with my Ferret collection.
-
wow thanks for the heads up I will have to pick up a few of these! Especially if they are marked with the sale
-
The sub is very cool - but the stickers made me crazy - some wouldn't stick, others were missing from the sticker sheet.
-
I hadn't heard of any of these hitting the states yet. There was a kmart.com fiasco where they had them "available" for a pretty long time but people would be actually sent the old wave with the other lava pod and have to return them. I would like to get that leatherneck.
What is "with avec con com"?

That would be french.
-
Just curious, which walmarts have people been seeing these?

Well actually...there's four different languages.
english, french, spanish, and I'll guess portugese (but I'd have to see the rest of the packaging)
I'd have to see the rest of the packaging though.
It's crazy how these things just showed up...when WM is putting them on clearance.

Their defenses are broken! Let the Shopping begin!!!

Be patient everyone.
I was able to take a trip tonight. It is always nice to have to pick up something as an excuse to toy hunt.
I hit the Walmart by Sherway Gardens and Square One.
Sherway didn't have anything out, but they had a cart with cases of stuff. Most of it was TF clearance items (Leaders, deluxes, etc) or ROC clearance stuff (Bravo, Ripit but no Alpha?). There had to be at least 8 cases of the Bravo vehicles and the same for the Ripit vehicles as well.
Square One had at least 3 of each new Alpha and a bunch of Cobra Gunships and Ice Daggers.
So I would hazard a guess that this week will see a flood of vehicles.
Anyone know what the last case assortment of Bravo vehicles consisted of?
-
wasnt it dragonhawks, ice daggers and crimson hyrdas?
-
I just can't believe that Walmart is putting brand new stock out at clearance prices. They could have put them up on the store website for twice retail and they would have sold out :D
But it's nice to see you guys up north finally get stuff before us for a change, and super cheap at that.
-

Same thing happened down here with the wal-mart 2 packs and the battle sets (outpost defender etc). Wal-mart loves us. Still, since they barely appeared at retail, I wonder if they were produced in small numbers or if we'll see them at the discount stores.
-
They are at the Scarborough Town Centre!!! I picked up a Lava Pod for myself, not interested in the others. But I did pick up a complete set of 4 for anyone who can't wait for them or can't get them at all. They still had a few of each when I left the store.
-
The rock slide has a pretty decent Dusty Figure. The Polar Shark driver looks like he should be part of the Joe Canuck universe (red and black). Leather Neck is a bit dull but worth $8.00.
-
Walmart in Welland had these sets. I picked up the lava pod.
-
Anyone willing to help me get a set of these? Email me at airborne4584@gmail.com please! I can trade(just give me a list of your wants) or buy. I'm a News Writer at Joesightings.com if you need trade/buyer rep.
-
I was at markville yesterday and woodbine majormac walmart today, nada.
-
I went to Walmart in Burlington (Appleby Line and Dundas) where a guy threw his arms around a ton of the $8 vehicles and proclaimed he was buying them all. I don't believe in getting in a dust up over toys, so, I told him what I thought of him and walked away. This guy is not a collector or even getting a few extras for fellow collectors. He's a jerk who's looking to sell on ebay and score whatever he can. It's guys like this that give collectors a bad name. I took a trip down to the other Walmart in Burlington (Brant) and grabbed an Alpha. There was only one left, a Polar Shark. I didn't ask if they had any in the back. Both locations did have a mix of about a dozen Bravos.
Okay, rant over. Hope you're all enjoying the great summer.
Cheers,
Ian
:P
-
The set of 4 I bought is on hold for someone already, but I will go back the Town Centre tomorrow and see if there are any left to help our Friends to the South!

that sucks, at least you were able to get a word in.

Seriously? WOW someone really has their priorities screwed up. I would be super embarassed to even try something like that, let alone make such a huge public display. Of course with that said, I would not be above making a scene just to mess with the guy.
You should have just gotten a manager and explained you were looking to get some sale items and a person doing what that guy did would not be allowed to clear out all stock. Stores now prevent that with limits that are either posted, or arbitrarily applied by a manager. I should know since I did that exact thing as a manager.
-
Good advice. You know, it's not like I'm afraid of conflict, far from it. But, over toys, I just couldn't do it. So, a few choice words and off I went. Sad part is that guy didn't even flinch. As if what I was saying was something he'd heard so often it just didn't bother him at all. I've always told my wife that when it comes to collectibles, I'd give something up to a kid - this guy wouldn't give it up to anyone unless it was at a profit. Really sad.
Anyway, screw him. I got into collecting the 3 3/4" with the film and I really like just poking around to see what I can find. Like tonight. Oh, and I'm getting into the comic books too. Got some on the way. Looking forward to reading them.
Cheers,
Ian
:P
-
No evidence these have showed up in my area yet.
-
I picked up another set of 4 of the new wave. If someone wants it PM me. I left the Scarbourgh Town Centre with 4 Tiger Claws, 3 Desert Rockslides, 2 Lava Pods and no Polar Sharcs left.
-
I picked up a Tiger Claw tonight which was the last of the Alpha in the Appleby Line store in Burlington. I'll try for a Desert Rockslide and a Lava Pod at the other location tomorrow. ;D Lots of the Brovo left.
Cheers,
Ian
:P
-
The Scarborough Town Centre has been cleared out of the wave 3 alpha vehicles. I went to get some for Hobbes but I could only get him a Lava Pod.
-
The second set of wave 3 alpha vehicles that I have to sell, has been spoken for. Good Luck everyone in finding yours!
-
I check two Wal-Marts on the east end of Toronto. Nada, including the ones in Pickering and south Oshawa. I am getting fed up with Wal-Mart's f**ing crappy distribution.

Give it some time. It's been less than a week since these things just started popping up.

Life's short
Currently no one knows for sure how rare they may turn out to be or if they might end up in abundance, but I suppose you'd want to snatch them up sooner rather than later and not take any chances.
-
I found a complete set in north Oshawa. 8 bucks each is a deal.
-
I have a complete set of the 4 MIB plus an extra lava pod complete in box (sorry I think the figure looks awesome) if anyone is interested in a trade.
-
Picked up an ice dagger from Walmart in Welland. They had 2 gunships left and some of the new alpha vehicles.
-
went on a scavenger hunt and found a full set in London after two skunkings at the first two W-Ms I visited. finally something fun, and I got those silly toy launchers with figs for five each too. Not bad!

London as in England, right? Unless there's some London that I'm not familiar with... That would mean these are showing up outside of Canada.

London, Ontario, not London, England.

Yeah, London, Ontario...didn't figure I had to specify on the Ontario board :D

Which Wal-Mart?
-
White Oaks. Argyle had had them out but all but the Desert Rockslide was gone. No sign of them at all out Fanshaw way.
-
they had about 10 sets of the desert rockslide wave at major mac/bayview this morning. There was a full end cap. I picked up a couple sets, one for trade. Also had some $10 ice daggers, and the other flying one that shipped with it. I picked up a $10 ice dagger, it's pretty nice.
-
There's a lot of Bravos left in Burlington Walmarts.
Cheers,
Ian
:P
-
I just picked up the Ice Dagger - not a bad vehicle and well worth the $10.

Cool, I had just about given up on that Walmart, I checked the past 2 weeks frequently then just got my set from Band :) I might pick up another set for trade.
-
Walmart has the MARS preview pack marked down to $6.50! I was at the Markville Walmart and they had 10 in stock.

I checked another Walmart and they had them for $20 still! Just like TRU's eash store is doing their own clearence to get rid of stock. Check your Walmart as you may find them cheaper.
-
Walmart in Welland has the night ravens on for $10!!! I picked one up for a birthday present.
-
Yep. Combat Heroes and Wave 3 Alphas are of no interest anymore
Has anyone seen the Wave 3 Alphas recently at Wal Mart? I'd still like to get a set but I don't want to spend $13 at Winners just for the novelty of having canned items.
-
Seeing how much time has passed since they were at Walmart (June?), I really don't think anymore Alpha wave vehicles are around anymore. eBay, websites / sponsors, and Winners (if they have any left that is) are most likely your only chance anymore. The 4 Walmarts in my area have none - not that I go to Walmart much, I don't. But my 2 local Winners never ever had the Alpha wave - none that I saw anyway.
-
Wow. Looks like I missed the boat on those. No big loss. Thanks for the update though.
-
My local Walmart only has 2 Lava Pods left.
-
haven't seen any in Winners or WM in London since July
-
The Walmart at Markham Rd and Steeles Ave only has the Lava Pod as well.
-
Thanks for the updates guys. I may keep looking for these as I search for wave 2.
