Just the figures from what I could tell.  Raven was $48.00.

Someone probably price matched TRU at that store, so they dropped prices to match.

Wal-Mart in Welland:  had the ROC figures for $5 as well.  Really picked over!!! (only selection was baroness, and 2 others). I picked up a Baroness - nice figure.

As a side note I pre-purchased my ROC tickets today for me and my nephew - I was surprised (not in a good way) that children and adult tickets are the same price!

Both Cambridge (as previously noted) & Fairview Mall Wal~Mart has singles on for 5$ each.  Nothing much of interest though.  There are a couple of Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander figures if you're looking for those.  Otherwise plenty of the usual suspects.  Those Vipers are really clogging things up.

Kitchener Toys'R'Us was pretty picked over thanks to the sale, but they restocked this morning with even more of these waves.

Guelph does not have the deal on for $5. I am a little bitter thank you very much.

And the aisles are disgraceful. The Joe stuff is in no less than 4 different places. What the heck?

I find that every wal-mart in canada looks like a bomb went off.
The toy isle is always a complete disaster - the last time I had to go in every isle to find the joe products - and then I had to carry the ones I was hoping for to a price scanner only to find out that TRU had them cheaper.

Yeah, I was there on Saturday around 3 - 4 in the afternoon and all they had left has the vipers, Snake Eyes, and a few battle suit Heavy Duty figures. there was maybe 6 - 8 pegs worth. Then a guy brought out about 6 more cases and I helped him unpack them. It was all wave 1 again but at least the rack was full when I left.

So yeah, the sale is going well. Walmart was pretty picked over as well.

This is a good thing. Shows them what we are willing to pay.

Depends on the time of day, I think.  In the mornings, it's fine - by three pm, it's as if a group of kids ran their arms down the length of every peg and let the toys lay wherever they spilt.

Nothing's worse than Winner's



Walmart I checked out didn't have the sale.  Bummer.

The single figures are about half gone again at Kitchener TRU this morning.  There is hardly anything left other than Destro, Breaker, or Snake Eyes.  The selection is very poor at both Wal~Mart and Toys'R'Us.

This is very good news. Lots of kids getting Joe, and lots of kids that will want MORE Joe going forward.

Sales have definitely taken off with the recent sale and release of the movie.  Hopefully the kiddies are getting hooked and keep buying them up.

The one thing that does NOT seem to be selling at all is the Night Raven (at least around here).  $50 is a tough pill to swallow outside of a birthday or Christmas present I guess.
