ActionFigureNews has reported that the G.I. Joe Rise Of Cobra Arctic Threat Doc and Arctic Threat Shipwreck have been found in Canada! This particular sighting was made at a TRU in British Columbia. I will be keeping my eyes on the look out for them in T.O.
-
I will continue this thead in Ontario when I find them in Toronto. I will give more details of the BC sighting under BC as it is more relevant to them.
-
Still no lucking finding them in Toronto :( Has any one else been able to find them in there neck of the woods?
-
Got mine last night in Calgary! Heard reports of them being up in Edmonton as well.
-
I can confirm that they are now in Ontario
I saw Shipreck and Doc at the Whitby TRU today for 9.99. They had several of them there. No other new figures.
Also the TRU Sting Raider (aka the repainted Cobra Water Moccasin) was there for $29.99.

This is good news. I don't care about the other 2 figs so much, but I want one of these.
-
I saw these guys in Winnipeg on Sunday. Pretty neat actually. :)
-
That is good news because I haven't seen the Sting Raider in the States since I snagged the last one a few months ago. Judging by that they are pretty rare in the U.S.
-
The site that I bought Sting Raider in the US has increased the price on it to $45 USD from $29. I guess it is getting rare there.
-
Found the sting raider (lots of them!) at my local TRU yesterday. Love that little boat!
-
I picked it up, and it is great - I think I am going to grab another one.
Sadly I never was able to find this the first time it was released in the Moccasin blue/green.

Good sign that Canadian TRUs are still on board bringing up to date exclusives to us.
-
They are at the TRU in Mississauga Central
-
Finally they have arrived in Toronto. I was at the TRU at Markham Rd. and Lawrence Ave. but they only put out the figures, about 5 each. The Sting Radiers were not put out on display at this TRU, no shelf space made for it.
-
The TRU at Vic Park and Lawrence has the figures out as well as the Sting Raider on display. They have lots of the Sting Raiders in stock.
-
The TRU at Markville Mall had only the new figures about 20 each! So if you missed the figures at any other TRU, this one will have them for a while. They did not make room for the Sting Raider for now.
-
I was a TRU today and the number of Sting Raiders that are available are low. Since this vehicle is now rare in the US not sure howmany we will have here. Buy it now if you want it, or be stuck with heafty ebay prices later
-
I've been to my two local TRU's and the Sting Raiders are plentiful with very few Doc's and many Shipwrecks
-
Can someone tell me what they're charging for Shipwreck? And anyone seen him recently in Toronto? Thanks.

We have confirmed sittings at the TRU at Victoria Park and Lawrence Ave and the TRU at Markham Rd and Lawrence Ave.
-
Well Shipwreck looks pretty cool, I guess I'll try to track one down at $9.99. I've been getting 25th a bit cheaper online but then there's shipping. Thanks guys.
And if anyone knows of a Hall of Heroes Snake Eyes w Timber available in Toronto let me know.

Good Luck on finding that figure in a store, you will have better luck online.
-
I saw one auction that would have come to like $21 after shipping but I didn't want to pay that much. I just got the 2nd Snake Eyes HOH (commando version) for $10 at bigbadtoys. Seems like he's (timber version) sold out at some other stores I checked but I'm not that familiar with many online toy stores. Only started collecting GI Joe last week.
-
Toywiz.com has that figure for $34.99, if you really want it.

Thanks, but not for that price. Why is the commando version so much cheaper to get, I keep reading on forums that people like Commando SE better than Ninja SE in general.
While I'm asking questions is there a place to get cheap figure stands that will fit these figures, I need one for Snake Eyes v14 from 2003 and then some for my Combat Heroes. I saw some on a Canadian online store but it was $15 for a small number, seemed unreasonable. I live in Toronto so local would probably be better than online.
Edit, I picked up 15 ROC stands on eBay for $5.50. Now I need to figure out the best way to cover up the names written on em.

Tonight I found what appeared to be the last Shipwreck at Victoria Park and bought him. Lucky! I suppose they could have had more in the back.
-
Only finding Doc in London. I'll have to keep looking for Shipwreck.
-
I saw some comments about availability in the states, so I thought I would relate. I've seen the vehicle but not abundantly. I've seen the doc and shipwreck also maybe twice, but the doc seems pretty rare.
-
They have them all at TRU in fredericton ,NB at least 8 or so of each i picked up 2 at 9.99 each
I wish they would have a sale :( I want more
On a side note i went to walmart in Saint John and got 13 figures at 5$ each at walmart
-
I'm guessing the Toys R US exclusive ROC Firefly came and went a long time ago?
-
ROC firefly never made it up here :'( :'(
-
That sucks. I was thinking of getting one. I knew it was too late to find him in stores but I assumed he was available here at some point since Shipwreck and Doc are now.
-
They were the first wave of TRU exclusives released almost a year ago. Your only hope is online and prepare to pay $20+ for that figure as it is rare now.
-
Is it that rare? I've been trying to sell my Kamakura but maybe I should try to trade it for Firefly.
-
Note that TRU has a 50% off sale on right no. Couldn't find a doc, but I did pick up the arctic shipwreck. So any ideas on how to whip Polly up a little parrot toque?
The Mars sets are also down to $10. Grab em if you want em.
