Ontario / Re: PoC at TRU

TRU across Sherway Mall in West End Toronto had 8 full pegs of POC figures with tons of variety. I was finally able to pick up a Low Light.

Just an FYI for anyone in Toronto, I just came back from TRU in Dufferin Mall and they had quite a few Joes. I saw two shock troopers, two steel brigades, two jungle bats, two cobra commanders, a whole bunch of blowtorches, a few beachheads and dukes, and a couple of skydives. Get them while you can!
There was nothing at Walmart.

Thanks for the replies. I did check out HJL and unfortunately they didn't have any of the figures I was looking for. Is it safe to say that Walmart and TRU have given up on carrying POC? I've gone to a few places and was able to find a Cobra Commander at TRU at Hwy 7 and Vaugn Mills. The Walmart in that area had nothing.
I'd totally understand if these figures were crap and took a long time to move but it seems that whenever any store stocks up on figures they fly off the shelves. I'm at a loss. Especially when every store I go to has loads of Star Wars figures that never seem to go anywhere.

Title says it all. I missed out on the last two waves of figures because of life - Now, I managed to find some at my local comic store but they were way too pricey ($13 and up). I noticed the GI Joe Club store has the last 2 waves decently priced but the S&H on that site is way over the top for items below $100 (it does get better the more you order...). I've all but given up looking for figures in stores - which I love doing. So I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and place a huge $200+ order with them. I calculated the cost versus S&H and it does become worthwhile.
So my question is, what experiences have people had with the GI Joe club store? How long has delivery taken? Any border issues? Fees, taxes, etc.
Thanks

Ontario / Re: Pursuit of Cobra @ Wal Mart

I found myself in Richmond Hill at the Highway 7 and High Tech Road Wal Mart and lo and behold I found my first wave 3 figures. It looks like they had about three cases but someone (of course) beat me to the Shock Troopers.
Just out of curiosity how many pegs were there? Someone said earlier that their Walmat removed their GI Joe pegs. It was replied by someone who said that Walmart was not dropping GI Joe. I only ask because I just noticed the Walmart by me JUST remove their Joe pegs. I always thought they sold well.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and joined specifically for finding PoC figures. These figures are just gorgeous and I love them but is it just me or are they obnoxiously difficult to find? I mean moreso than other high demand figures.
Anyways, I usually frequent the Walmart at Runnymede and St. Clair since it's close to me and I've had mixed experiences. At first I thought they just weren't carrying many figures - then one morning I had to stop in an lo and behold they had 3 pegs filled with figures. I picked up the ones I needed and left. I went back to Walmart two days later and EVERYTHING was picked clean (vehicles as well). So I'm not so sure now if it's Walmart simply not ordering frequently enough or if it's simply a case of there being several other collector's around. I'll update their stock if I see any.
Does anyone know what the stock is like at the Sherway Walmart?
Someone mentioned Walmart at Dufferin Mall a few weeks ago, does anyone know how stock is now? Is it consistant?
I just picked up a w3 Duke and SS as well as a snow cutter at 400/7 Walmart. That was the last of the Joe stuff.
EDIT* Simple question - Has anyone written to Walmart Canada and Hasbro about the lack of stock?
Also, I picked up the AWE last week and when I got home I noticed that Night Fox didn't come with a neckerchief. Anyone else have this problem? I know some people online were complaining about it interfereing with his vest so I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro changed it.
