25th anniversary waves 1 and 2 at Toys R Us
« on: October 14, 2007, 03:20:31 PM »

Not sure how a case works out or not but the had wave 1 Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow (2 of each), Buzzer (1), Lady Jaye (1), Serpentor (1), and Beach Head (1). They don't even show up when I used the price checker so I had to ask. They are going for $9.99 each. The girl told me it's 8 figure per case when I asked if there were any more cases in the back. No more cases in the back but someone was asking about them yesterday so another collector might have bought the army builders.

I bought Buzzer and Beach Head. Serpentor and Lady Jaye looked goofy and I just placed an order for Snake eyes and Storm Shadow from the MC group.

Oh yeah, for those who don't know me, my stomping ground is K-W, so that's where I saw these. Still haven't seen the 5 pack here.

Yep.  TRU in Whitby has the singles in too. As of this afternoon, there were about 3 Beachheads, 2 Sepentors and 3 Buzzers.

Here too, they didnt' come up on SKU scan and there were no more in the back and no more showing on order.

After there were only 2 Beacheads.  :)

It figures they would show up after I bought them online. The crazy thing is that they're basically the same price when shipped from the states. It's hard to believe that Hasbro would price them so high in Canada. I wonder if they will ever ship to the point where they will be widely available. At this point it doesn't look that way.

I checked with my local tru and they might be getting them next week but they told me that only certain stores are getting them. It might just be 1 or 2 cases of figures.
They also told me to check out the other tru's around my area, they might have them in stock but not in the system.

Figures they show up when I am out of the province.  But I am awaiting my order from ebay top show up as the two waves I won had the variant Timber in it.

I am surprised wave 2 has been released up here this fast.

Were the figures actually out along with the Sigma 6 stuff, or somewhere else?

Sorry Mo, I was there on Lunch at the horrible new King's buffet. :puke:  It was unplanned.

I found 2 hidden buzzers at the hamilton one, bought one and put the other back on a peg. A kid was looking at it, but he didn't look like he could afford $10.

I was hoping for beachhead, but ces't la vie.

With all the availability troubles even in the US, I wonder if we'll see any more of these anytime soon.  I'm hoping that my Christmas there will be at least something to choose from, but between now and then I have little hope.
