Thanks to Joecanuck members Sureshot and bandonov in the original thread here:

I was able to confirm that the Rise Of Cobra 50% off sale is back on a Zellers. The sale runs through to April 22nd from what the in-store sales tags mentioned.
If you missed the sale last time around, now's your chance!
Note that it would seem the same exceptions apply. Target exclusives (except for the Conquest/Tiger Rat) are not part of the sale.

Oh sweet, I've been wanting another RHINO but not at 80 bucks. I'm going to stop on my way home and check it out. :wink:

See above on that point:

I forgot that was a Target exclusive, they've been sitting on the shelf for so long.
They didn't have any signs up about any of the items being on sale. :-
-
its not in the flyer neather.
-
Funny, this whole "Return of" business reminded me of the Return of Optimus Prime 2 part episode... :P
-
Since they brought back this sale, they really want to get rid of there stock. I hope this means that the new Joes are comming soon?!

I don't speak for Zellers (or Hasbro) on this, but typically when they have to do a 50% off sale to clear stock, they won't be quick to restock that item again.
Sales like this are good for the consumer, bad for the retailer and the product line.
-
Might get a few Cobra Commanders then.

I believe your are referring to Supply and Demand and I think you're right about it. Usually If the retail store believes there is no demand for the product, then restocking or size of orders are to be reconsidered.
-
I may finally pick up a Night Raven. Anyone know what the price would be at 50% off?
-
Night Ravens are going for $19.99 on this sale.

Likely a deal between Hasbro and Zellers to blow out unsold stock.
-
Okay I bit the bullet and picked up a Destro to see if my local Zellers had them on sale, still no signs to indicate it but YES he rang up at $4.99.
-
Zellers added the 12" figures as well to the 50% off sale!
-
Bought some Joe stuff @ Zellers yesterday, price has gone up to 6.99 on figures. Still no signs up about the lower price. ::)
-
My zellers are so picked over i wish they would put the 20 and 2499 figures on at 50%
-
latinjoe22 asked me pick him up another Conquest X-30 from Zellers and they were scanning at 19.99! did not have time to see if the other RoC stuff was on sale, I will check out another Zellers Tomorrow to see if the sale is back!
-
The Sale is back but Not everything is 50% off.
Figures are now $6.99
Alpha Vehicles are now $9.99
they did not have a Bravo vehicle to verify the price so I will guess it is 14.99
Target exlusives from 25th Ann. are now $19.99
The RoC Target exlusives are not on sale :P
-
Great update - Thanks Bandonov!
-
The 2 Zellers I go to look like they have been picked over. I do not think they have restocked since the last 2 sales. :(
-
Last week I got a few figures from Zellers for like $2 each. As well some Combat Heroes for $1.50(love Firefly :)) and a Crimson Hydra for $10 from Walmart. Lots of sales right now.

$2.00 per figure? Never seen that sale. Where are you located?

Anyone see a Tiger Rat out there?
-
My 2 Zellers only had the Python Patrol. I will be in the area of another Zellers later today and will see if they have the Tiger Rat.
-
A zellers is closing in Guelph, and it's got 50% off on everything this weekend INCLUDING the target exclusives. A few Rhinos and a buttload of the jetpack/snake armor/depthcharge packs, and the duke and snake eyes 4 packs.
I won't be back this weekend, but if you go, it's the one across from winners, NOT the one on stone rd.

Lucky find... The rest of us have to wait :(
-
Note that everything in the whole store is 50% off. So if you need to convince the wife...
-
-
The one on Speedvale, right? Too bad.
-
Yep, speedvale. Near the winners, and the value village. It was the upscale retail location for the neighborhood. It was a nasty one, old and never stocked properly. I won't be that sorry to see it go, as there are 2 other ones in town.
In fact there's one in the east end that still has almost every joe item that was ever shipped to the store still on the shelves, including everything from the original case that came out pre movie and the 5 packs. No one ever shops there either.
Maybe they'll turn it into a Talese (sp?) which fits more in with the retail character of the area. :wink:
-
-
willow mall isnt it? corner of willow and silvercreek?
-

That is the one - or was at any rate.
All of the Star Wars and Transformers stuff is 50% off too for those that are interested. If you want to get that X wing that is in a box that looks like the rebel hanger, they have you hooked up.
-
The Zellers at Birchmount and Eglinton has 4 Tiger Rats and 4 Python Patrols still available at 19.99 each. I did find a Bravo Stell Crusher and they were scanning at $19.99 as well.
-
I may need a Tiger Rat!
-
Are you just thinking about it or did you want one?
-
I asked someone and I have been taken care of. But thanks!
-
That is good to hear.
-
Apparently you have something to do with it...............so thank you.
-
I was checking my Zellers yesterday to see if they finally put the Target Exclusives on sale, But they are still on for regular price. :P But I scanned what they had left and the sale prices have become the regular price now. Figures are now regular price $6.99 and the 25th ann. Target Exclusives are now regular price of $19.99. Not as agreat as TRU's and Walmarts $5 figures thou.
-
Zellers has a 40% off sale on clearence items. GI Joe with a yellow sticker is on sale. And no the Target Exclusives are still at regular price. I did not scan the Rhino to see if it was scanning lower then $49 but the others are still at $29.99.
-
I just picked up the tiger rat and 4 python conquests for 19.99 each
-
Zellers has 50% off all clearence items again! I did not have time to scan any items but RoC figures should be $3.50 each!
-
No more ROC. Please, let the inventory dry up or go on sale for $1 a figure.
-
I think the only ROC stuff anyone wants to hear about now is the target exclusives (if they drop in price) ;D

You got that right.

Get this, it's a howler: at my neighborhood Z's they had the four Target packs on the clearance table. The stickers on them were odd, so odd I figured it was a mistake. The price was 31.99, with two dollars "clearance" to make them 29.99! Clearly a mistake, I checked the item at the scanner. $29.99! This store has had them at that price for a year almost, I don't believe they were ever marked up to 32 bucks. At least the single figs are reasonably priced, some Zs in London had 25th stuff at 12.99 a couple years ago. :(
-
I would call them out on that. Take a few to the front desk and ask to speak with the manager. Tell them it's a shady practice and let them know you are going to contact the Hudson's Bay company. Things like that should never go unchallenged.

Those darn deluxe figures are going to rot on the pegs before they decide to clearance them. What are they waiting for? ???

-
They must have had some strange corporate deal on the Target packs from last year that they'd end up overpriced nationally, and that even 10 months later we are not seeing them at a decent price. I would call them on the shenanigans I saw today if I really needed the sets, but I cashed in on Midnight Madness last Xmas and I have all I need (got at 15 bucks at the time). I just assume Zellers managers in general are somewhat clueless and don't care about the toy section.
-
dang! can't believe they are still at that price. most zellers in my area have tons of these and are crowding up POC space as far as I see. I was in Buffalo a couple of months ago and Target had these on clearance at $6.49 and an additional 50% off of that.
-
I scanned the Rhino, figuring that it may count as ''already reduced'' since the price came down to 50$ from 80$ a while back. Still scanning at 50$ >:(

This is the same as the x-wing and tie fighters. They reduced them but the reduced prices became their new regular price, as they don't show up in their computers as "reduced", even though they scan at the reduced price. Therefore, with no yellow sticker and nothing indicating in the computer, you can't argue these were reduced. As far as any employee would know, they were always at this price.
Also, the target RoC stuff has yellow stickers, but the yellow stickers are showing the regular price. It's a bit of a joke.
Thankfully their new star wars target exclusives are coming in at prices almost the same as the US. Seems they did learn from their mistakes, but they're being stubborn on the old stuff.
-
The zellers clearance is always only like 2 bucks it is a joke.
-
Time to really keep an eye out for the target exclusives because a number of zellers are on the way out and are being replaced by targets.
The plan is to keep a few zellers brand stores around and phase out others to make way for actual target stores in the spring. Wether this means the current zellers stock gets slashed even lower I'm not sure but best to keep a lookout.
-
It's about time... I know Zellers has a big name in Canada, but the stores have fallen from grace long time ago. I would totally support the store if they changed the name back to Towers and Bonimart! So Welcome Target.

Yes, well... Will a mere name change suffice to get the employees to take better care of the toy section? :p

I have read that Target is PREPARING to move into Canada and that they will open about 200 stores up here over the next 10 years or so, but the kicker is the first 6 to 10 stores would be open by 2014 or 2015.........so its a few years off yet.

I'd love to see Target in Canada. They're much better organized in every department than even the best Zellers I've been in.
-
Same company run by The Hudson Bay Company(worked for them). Probably will just change the Zellers name to Target and modify the stores. Also, chances are the exclusives would still be slow coming and pricey.
