Title: Sigma 6 lovers get to Winners
Post by: morgardee on October 05, 2007, 10:25:38 AM: I just picked up the Night Ranger Quad with Duke for $14.99. No idea if I'll open it or save it for my son Dalton for when he gets a bit older. They also had the Snake Eyes with Mech for $16.99 and paracute Duke for $16.99 as well as more Snake Eyes vs Strom Shadow 2 packs for $14.99 and a bunch of the 2.5 sigma 6 playsets (a funky bike, a raft and a helicopter) but they had no price sticker on them. I've also seen the big ship for the 2.5 inch guys in the past at the same winners (battlehawk I think?).

Anyhow, all this was in the Waterloo Winners. I'm still not a big sigma 6 fan but I know a few of you guys are.

*sigh*

You know, if I got him from the start, I most likely wouldn't have all these other ones.

Sorry to hear that Mike. If I knew that I would have picked you one up at the con - there were a couple folks selling them.

Post by: Scramble on October 05, 2007, 01:07:59 PM: That's a very tempting price for the Mech. The Snake Eyes that comes with it sucks (and not just because it's another Snake-Eyes, he has no knee or elbow articulation) but I always thought the Mech was cool. Quebec Winners doesn't get as much GI Joe as the rest of Canada, but it does get some that never makes it to our regular retail.

Thanks for the heads up, Morgardee!

Post by: BHMike on October 05, 2007, 01:24:00 PM: Zellers has some Sigma Six on sale also.

Buy one, get one free.

Some Duke thing (w/ big gun) was marked down, and some other stuff.
Didn't see anything I wanted.

If anyone somewhat local (Mike? Raps? Pete?) finds the quad with Duke, could you please pick it up? Natasha LOVES the S6 figures (she goes to great lengths to get a hold of mine) so she would adore that set.

Post by: Stealth Viper on October 05, 2007, 01:55:48 PM: Thanks a million, Mike.

The parachute one is a little too complex for her, I think. She'll LOVE the quad, tho.

Power Armour Duke on sale? My dreams have been heard!

I THINK he was $21.00 or $19.00....... BUT, if you grab any other item from that section, then your lowest item is free.

I called Raps - no answer, Called Stealth - no answer... just as I'm about to leave, I try Stealth once more. Answer!!! Of course.... I forget to ask him what Scramble needed.

Post by: Deadshot on October 05, 2007, 11:20:07 PM: I went to Zellers and picked up the power armor Duke. I really like the figure, of course the parachute Duke wasn't on sale here..:(

Crap, these figures are actually pretty cool, and now I want a few more... damn

Guess I'll have to try winners out now..
Title: Re: Sigma 6 lovers get to Winners
Post by: Raptor on October 06, 2007, 12:34:41 AM: Stoney creek has half a dozen ATVs and a dozen or so Parachute Dukes. Let me know if you still need one by the end of the weekend.

Call me if you come to K-Town but remember it's Oktoberfest time, so the roads are a little more busy.

I just got back from the Winners in Kitchener (not Waterloo) and they have the exact same list as Mike posted, including the 2 Adventure team sets (4 in total, 2 snake eyes, 2 storm shadow). I'm thinking that they didn't get any Recondo figures since both times it looked like they just put the toys out, so I was the first one going thru them.

I picked up Destro and the sky bat thing. I don't like the blue on the sky bat. I'm thinking of giving him a rit dye bath in black. I've never been much into these guys so can someone point me to a good web site that shows all the Sigma stuff that came out.

Thanks.

Post by: savageplay on October 13, 2007, 02:55:36 PM: hey i don't know much about the sigma 6 line, but the winners at dufferin mall had lots. They had the adventure pack with stormshadow and the one with snakeeyes and a cobra for $15. the also had snakeeyes in a mech, duke in a parachoot. The had various of the singles packs with the 'locker' for $15 and they had a few sigma 6 bats for $8 each.
Title: Re: Sigma 6 lovers get to Winners
Post by: Scramble on October 14, 2007, 11:16:58 AM: Went to the Winners in Carr? Decarie. They had a decent selection, but not as much as the Ontario stores. I picked up a Metal Mayhem, something I've been debating for a while. There were still a few parachute Dukes and Night Ranger Quads, as well as one of each green locker wave (Jungle Snake Eyes, Arctic Duke, Hi-Tech, and Destro, each with DVD and 2.5" pack-in) as well as a few choice 2.5" vehicles, including one Dragonhawk for $20.

Sadly, no cheap carded figs like glider Kamakura or the Sky BATs.

Post by: BHMike on October 14, 2007, 07:58:25 PM: Just an interesting note.

I had 7 - count 'em - SEVEN people ask me specifically today for Sigma Six figures.

WTF? 7 people asked me JUST because I had a ton of 80's figures??.... And Hasbro cancels the line?

Title: Re: Sigma 6 lovers get to Winners
Post by: Stealth Viper on October 15, 2007, 01:46:56 PM: I think it proves the line would have been successful at a better price point.
Title: Re: Sigma 6 lovers get to Winners
Post by: SnakeEyesOnAPlane on October 30, 2007, 11:26:14 PM: The Winners on Taschereau doesn't have the Dragonhawk nor the Doom Marine with BFG (aka Power Armour Duke). Smeg, that's the figure I'm wanting the most! I might get the Paratrooper Duke because of how cool he looks and the gear he comes with, I'll just take the parachute off.
