That's awesome news.
Might have to patrol around Anjou then.

[Redmao]

Zellers Domaine on Sherbrooke is now a liquidation center and all their toys are at 50% off.
They still had a few Skystrikers and Target exclusive boxsets along some small vehicles from PoC.

Wait, so 50% off Skystrkers?  That would mean they're $25 each, right?  That's even less than Winners charges for 'em.  Nice!

[Redmao]

Yup.

On other news, TRU Anjou has the POC Stalker wave with Stalker, Trooper, Hazard Viper, Steel Brigade v2 and Vipers.
Great wave for the army builders.

Any signs of Retaliation toys in Quebec yet?

[Prince de Lu]

both TRU Anjou and St-bruno received them yesterday

Nothing at the TRU in Brossard on Thursday.

And when I called the lady couldn't tell what they had.

TRU Lasalle: no Joe Troopers. No Cobra Troopers. No Red Ninjas. Otherwise, wave 1. Low stock on threepacks.
Wal Mart Lasalle: Roadblock, Storm Shadow, Duke, and the carded bikes.

To the people who bought out all of the troopers and ninjas: I hope you enjoy them. :\

I patrolled downtown and found nothing.
Zellers Atwaters has nothing but a full aisle of Thor's rubber hammer and Captain Quebec and 1 000 000 comics haven't received anything. It's on Diamond's shoulders.

I can share your sentiment. The TRU I went to...they had just put out several cases of joes. I picked up two red ninjas and two joe troopers along with some other of the figs. The next guy then comes and picks out all the remaining red ninjas and joe troopers and nothing else...He can be a collector or a scalper...but it is what it is.

As I said in a similar thread, I think everyone just needs to calm down instead of going bananas rushing to stores trying to find these. Most stores have just begun to put out the figures. These figures will get re-released next spring if you don't get them this time around. I can't see Hasbro skipping this wave next time around and starting with wave 2. I think it's just the must have now mentality, but I won't blame anyone.

We really don't know to what extent the quantities of joe product that is out there. Even though there is supposedly no restock, does not mean the retailers don't alread have large quantities. I think it's more of an no reorder once supply is spent.

That being said, it's tough being a collector. You're constantly fighting with other collectors who might also be armybuliders to get the items you want, and with scalpers trying to cash in. There's the panic that there might not be any new joe items until next year and there might not be any restock...so people clean them out.

Generally stores only put out a case of items at a time and if you're not there a the right time, you miss out. So, it's tough, but that is the life.

Brossard TRU has movie stuff.

Single-carded figures at $10.99 (underequipped/articulated and overpriced )
Hauser with rocket launcher, Roadblock, Snake-Eyes, Joe guy with a Halo-esque helmet, Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper, Zartan, Storm Shadow, and a Red Ninja.

Only $16.99 vehicle is the swamp boat.

The larger vehicles (I think they were $21) are the Ghost Hawk Mark II and the newschool HISS Tank.

There are two sets of figure 3-packs, one with Kamakura, Night Ops Roadblock and sweet-looking Beachhead, another with Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, and a Red Ninja.

There were also a few roleplay items like a Snake-Eyes disguise kit (Zartan, eat your heart out) and a missile-launching sidearm whose grip becomes the handle of a bayonet.

There were two rider-on-bike vehicles, but I chose to ignore them.
