Have at em.
Also, the new comic packs seem to share a SKU with Transformers Flypaper, so they got rung up at ten and change rather than the usual 16$...
All that's missing out of the new case is the BAT.

Oh, and the black headed destro, and one Nem Enforcer pack, out of the comic packs.

sounds like that Zellers has a shipping/receiving G.I. Joe fan-pilpher on staff.

BOTH Zellers in my area have never had any joe product on the shelves. At all.

Nope, those were my birthday presents to myself. ;-)
It's not so much that I live near a super Zellers, as that Niagara seems to have a lot more Joe fans to compete with.
It also helps that it's walking distance from work, so I get there every few days.

What sort of quantity did they put out? Only a single case of each?

Charles, on the Hisstank boards, there a some guys from the Niagara region posting on there.

Nothing in London Zellers last night.
-
Nothing in Zellers on Queenston rd in Hamilton either.
-
Not sure case wise how many came out, but it filled a peg and neither of the pegs were marked. It looked like about 2 cases of comic packs, and one case of singles. This is the Stone Rd Zellers in Guelph BTW.
Also, at Stone Rd Mall in the General Store there is a mini store called "The outer reaches of Milton" where they have US carded singles for $7.99 and a Vamp (only one left today) for $17 and change.. Another store in the store has all the vehicle packs but wants about $25 each for them. Since all the general stores are different, you might want to check and see if yours has an OROM.
I have no idea why Guelph is so blessed, but I've seen pretty much everything released up here in either the Zellers or the walmarts.

Bridgeport Plaza Zellers (Kitchener) has a complete case of Wave 5 Comic 2-Packs as of about 20 minutes ago.
Both "gold" Destros in case anyone was wondering.
-
What is the chase figure, the gold Destro or the black Destro? So far I've only seen gold.

The one with the Black head.

Is it hard to find? I haven't even looked.

I heard the ratio is 1 in 4 cases (so 1 of 8 Destro/IG comic packs) but Hasbro doesn't usually give out that kind of information.
I've found 2 in the 4 cases I've seen for what it's worth.
-
was lucky enough either the TRU staff are unwise to G.I. Joe product or no other collectors went by before me, but I picked up that onyx head Destro straigth away, and a few othe IG packs for Pete.
Traded him for a MIB AWE Striker, chase or not I wasn't interested.
-
I haven't seen one yet... or, at least I haven't noticed one. I kind of want another Iron Grenadier, so I'd pick up one if I saw it... a Black-headed Destro would look pretty cool.
-
I'd grab one as well if I see it. Does anyone know what the case break down is on them?

Supposedly 1 in 4 cases.
-
Zellers in Milton Mall had 1 case of wave 5 Comic 2-Packs (minus 1 Destro/IG pack) and one case of wave 5 2008 singles (minues BAT, Snow Serpent, and Ninja-Ku)
-
dangit Storm.Shadow i need to move where you live. Markham/Scarborough/Stouville/Richmond Hill has been bone dry for months!
-
Guelph is officially dry.
Coincidently, Morgardee was [s:8qsd0k44]buy[/s:8qsd0k44] by to visit me over the weekend.

BTW, I didn't know where to mention it but since Raptor brought it up, he has a very nice house. I liked it.
-
To my shock, I found the Destro variant from the comic 2-pack today at Zellers. The other shock is that the comic packs are now $14.99. Well at least I got my fill of Iron Grenadiers.
-
Ack! I still haven't found ANY of the new comic packs. Granted, I've been in China since the 2nd, but still...
-
Man!! The Zellers here has Nothing! The last thing they had was one Hawk/Scarlett pack with a severely damaged card, left over from when I bought the rest of their old comic packs before summer. Zellers blows.
-
I have see none of these on Canadian shelves.
The fact that they are $15 sucks, and the odds of me finding the variant destro are next to none. But I am glad they showed up.
-
If anyone comes across an extra variant head Destro, I'm looking for one.
Thanks.
