I'd say its worth  a shot   3 or 4 bucks is  a steal..even if   they're evreywhere.. though I think  the TRU in Kitchener still has em  at 7.99 ????    heh .


Hey now! That's my neck of the woods and while the price is listed as $7.99, if you scan them they come up at $2.98, or at least they did last time I looked. They might sell some of these if the let everybody know they were $2.98 and not $7.99.
I just don't have any more room for more of these 2 packs. If it were Walmart they would have been marked down to $1.00 by now, just like they did with their MUSCLE toys (which BTW they sold a crap load of when the price dropped to a buck a pop)

I too am stuck with a big ben / wipeout invasion at my local tru. The thing is that they're not on sale. They're still $8.99... At $3 I'd buy a few to make an arctic commando or something...

How many packs do you want?  I am in Montreal during the first week of March.

Well Pete, I'm not sure how many I want, but while you're in Montreal be sure to go to Legends on St-Hubert street. Its a cool action figure store and the owner are really nice people.

I just found a crap-load of BB/WO near me @2.98. Anyone still wanting some, let me know.

The Big Ben mold is shot. If you look at a '91 Big Ben and a '00 Big Ben, you'll notice that the detailing is a lot softer. It's been overused, and as a result, the tooling is worn out. A '91 Big Ben is a great figure. All the others? Baloney!

wasn't it reported that  no more re-issues of  BIg Ben were going to happen  a couple of years back?

With  what  Jon  said..  the  mold  was  probably used until  it  completly  wore down   into nothingnes.


at  least  the world is now safe from more of that Figure   lol

The Big Ben mold was used twice more after the 2000 version.  So I don't know if the mold is shot but the figure has run it course.

Look at the quality of those Big Bens compared to your old ones and you'll believe me that the tooling is shot. It might still function, but it won't produce quality Big Bens.

Good. Then maybe it's time to send it off to Funskool in India. I always get a kick out of those figures.

If they send it off to India, Big Ben would be released with a clock tower for a backpack lol. Poor Windmill.
