Yes, everyone the Sale of Sales is back this Saturday. And they have a new location this year in Hamilton! Visit www.samkosales.com (http://www.samkosales.com) for more details!

Cool, I do Christmas shopping there for the kiddies, pretty cheap prices, though last year didn't have Joes which was prob a good thing as I would have ended up shopping for me and not them lol
-
Hamilton is only for 3 or 4 days. I'll check it out, but I'm not expecting much.
...and really, Samko hasn't been any good for about 6 years now. I fondly remember Spy Troops figures being $3.00 each, Star Wars for $2.00 and WWE/WWF figures for $2.50 at one time.
-
Any chance they'll have any RoC stuff? My little brother wants a few of the vehicles.
-
I have a 4 year old boy, so if anyone goes, let me know if it's worth my while to make the 2 hour round trip please.
Also, I check out the on line flyer. Didn't see G.I. Joe but they did have some Star Wars walker of some sort for $12.99.
Last year I wasn't blown away as a toy collector, but as a father I found lots for my child. Many good book deals and some toys.

Yup great for little kid shopping, not great for us. Still worth a look to get some cheap gifts, I went to the Richmondhill one last year.
-
My wife went last year so she will never tell me if there is GI Joe there. This time I'm going with her to check it out.
-
Anyonw hit SaMKO Miko yet? My wife is going next Saturday and I want to know if there is anything I should ask her to look for.
-
I will be going next week, I go earlier I will let you know If I find anything good.
-
Haven't been yet but wouldn't be surprised to see RAH figures there this year.

No regular joe figures at all this year, however for those interested in the combat heroes, they have the canceled assortment of them with Cobra Commander/Gung Ho and the Cobra Viper/Snake Eyes.
Couldn't bring myself to buy them at $6. I don't like cute paired up with guns. It's like a Fisher Price little person with an uzi - it just doesn't work.
I expect that Stealth or Morgardee will have them on Ebay by tomorrow. :lol:
-
In case anyone is wondering I think the Star Wars Walker is this one.

However I could be wrong.

$6.00? Pass. I got other things to buy. Besides, I get the feeling those things have cooled off in the second hand market.

Thanks for the update. It's too bad. I was looking for an inexpensive Steel Crusher and PIT. You guys have any ideas on where to find either for a decent price?

Those canceled combat heroes were there last year. But I expect the demand for them via ebay has cold off quicker than a snow man on a glacier.
-
Hmm, I got those same combat heroes at TRU for $5. So $6 is not such a hot deal. Also, they have definitely cooled on ebay. The sets of 4 pairs were going for arounds $80 at one time. But like anything new, it's hot for a few weeks, maybe months, and then everyone forgets about it when the new hot thing comes along. I do like the combat heroes though. I collected a set of them having not paid full price for any of them, but if they weren't on clearance I never would have gotten them. I really wish Stalker would have come out though. :(
So it sounds like there no rush to hit the samko sale. Will probably hit it up for some stuff for my daughter but that will be whenever before christmas. Thanks for the info guys.
-
Yep. Combat Heroes and Wave 3 Alphas are of no interest anymore

Just wondering about the wooden castle as I am trying to find on e for my son's B-Day. Just wondering if you remember the price on it?
