Title: 25th Ann. figures at Winners
Post by: Realboss on June 09, 2009, 07:17:55 PM
I saw Mutt & Junkyard, Bazooka troopers and a TF Duke on Canadian cards for $7.99 in the toy section at Winners in St. Catharines today.

7.99!?? It's Winners!?
They should be no more than $4.99 there.

What's up with that?

$4.99 I would pick up some extras but at $8 - that is what they should be priced at anyway.

I don't think 7.99 is gonna get me to shop at Winners. Oh well I bought a lot of 25th for about that price at Wal-mart before X-mas.

Don't forget guys that the price on average is now $10+ so a couple bucks off on some figs that maybe, someone, somewhere (although I can't think of where) might want, isn't that bad.

If I come across someone in Winners that is willing to spend $7.99 on these then I'll suggest they go to Zellers (a Canadian company) where these figures are $5.99.  :lol:

Last time I looked at singles in a Zeller's they had them at the gouge-tastic price of $12.99. Most of the Z's in my city don't even have single carded Joes for the last few months.

Haha, someone could buy them at Winners then "return" them to Walmart.   :shifty: Albeit, for a measly profit...  probably cost you more in gas to drive there.

Raptor was the first to mention it but yes, I've seen them at my local Zellers for $5.99, the DVD 4 pack (Duke, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, C.C.) is $21.99 and DVD sets are cheaper as well.

The singles aren't discounted at my Zellers. If they are that price, I'll pick up Matt Tracker...

Yeah I saw the comic book two packs of Rock n Roll and that wave going for $13.99 or $12.99 as well as the full wave of single cards. (In London, Ont.) The better deal is that Winners has Desert Brawl (the big one) and full sized Optimus and Megatron from the last movie for $39.99. (Original SRP $59.99.) I finally picked up an Optimus platinum version with automorph and silver paint apps that are about as close as they came to chroming the pipes.

Picked up Mutt & Junkyard and Scrap Iron/Wild Bill CP yesterday. I had passed on M&J during the winter and had regretted it since. The question now is how do I get the large price stickers off or do I just leave them on?

Ronsonol Lighter Fuel.

Says right on the front label in a big red area "Also excellent for removing grease, oil, stains, tar and Labels"

I use to work in a comic shop in the early 90's and this is what we used. Unless the card is torn you should have no problems cleaning it off. I have G.I. Joe figures from the original ARAH run that I did this on back in the early 90's and I've never seen any side effects.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to pick some of it up.

I picked up two comic two-packs at Winners, yesterday.

Wild Bill & Scrap Iron
Iron Grenadier & Viper

$9.99 each.

Looked for others, but those were the only two they had...  and it was frustrating enough trying to find them.  $10 is a deal.
