Also, sorry for the double-post but I thought this was interesting:  Toysrus.ca almost completely sold out of their stocked 25th anniversary GI Joes since I placed my order on Saturday.  Monday morning, they were "Temporarily Unavailable Online" and today, removed from the site completely.  There's only the odd one up there, now.  That could be a good sign...

I checked TRU.ca today and it showed absolutely nothing 25A!

As for Duke and HISS driver, they are both part of Wave 3 2008 (Wave 7).

So has anyone actually seen a Canadian packaged HISS driver? I haven't even seen one, nor a Spirit

I was at TRU St. Catharines today and again they only had two wave 7 Snake Eyes.   Nothing in Zellers.

They're getting "hoovered" in KW area too.  He's definitely the hardest of the wave 3 2008 figures to find.

I have seen both of the waves at Walmrart and TRU.  I live by the US border, so I have gotten most of the figures over there as I prefer the US cards.  Still very cool to see new Joes on the store shelves though for sure!

Does anyone know of a comic/toy shop that would do order of the new figures?
I would love to be able to just go in and pick up a case of each wave rather than to hunt down each of these waves.


I know Hasbro in the past had a crazy quota for ordering from them, but maybe now that they have the Marvel Legends and the Joe line is doing better in Canada the quota number has dropped.

No doubt. I saw those 5 or so cases you told me about on Friday night, right after work and there was not one Hiss driver. I know we all like to army build but this is only going to hurt us collectors in the end if we buy all the Cobra troopers and leave the children with no one for their Joes to fight. That the sort of thing that can kill a toy line. There are more children then there are collectors.

Zells @ Conestoga Mall in Waterloo had a full case of Wave 4 2008 (Canadian cards) as of a couple hours ago.
