Sorry if this has been noted already, but I found some Wave 5 2008 (Canadian Cards) at Kitchener Toys'R'Us this morning.  It looked like two cases worth.

I believe this wave is new to Toys'R'Us.

Same thing at the Whitby TRU.  However all the Bats and Snow Serpents were gone.

Yep, saw this at TRU today. Grabbed the Bat and Snow serpent, as the had just been put out

After reading about Ed's luck, I figured I would check out a Toronto TRU on the way home from work.  Found two complete sets of wave 5 at a east end Toronto TRU.   The Bats and Snow Serpents are now gone.   

[Pete The Greek]

My local TRU re-stocked yesterday with 5 cases of this wave ('08 wave 5 or 25th wave 9).  It's not everyday you get to see 5 pegs pull of Joes including 5 B.A.T. and 5 Snow Serpent figures.   I suspect most of the other TRUs will follow suit for the X-mas season. 

Unfortunately, there are way too many Wild Bills, Torpedos, Bazookas and Barbecues on the pegs.  I hope they will sell to ensure future single pack waves.

TRU has been doing a great job of supporting G.I. Joe and getting product on the shelf but the $9.99 price tag on singles really bugs me.  I just can't bring myself to pay that much.

[Pete The Greek]

True, the 9.99 is high due in comparison to Wal-mart and Zellers prices, but least you know TRU will have some single pack figures.  When I check out a few Wal-Marts in my area, they are always unpredictable in terms of what product is left. One has no single packs, another one has 5 Wild Bills,  another one has a couple wave 1 vehicles and some wave 4 figures.  At least TRU will have something, mostly due to the high price.  I guess that is the tradeoff.

One has no single packs, another one has 5 Wild Bills

You're not kidding!   I've bought 4 Wild Bills in the last week just to get them off the shelf and they still keep appearing.  I think someone tried hiding them all to get more ordered and staff is slowly finding them and putting them back.

Toys'R'Us Kitchener had a restock as well.  Looked like 5 cases of Wave 5 2008, minus the BATs and a few Snow Serpents.

I still think the BAT's will show up in a TRU 5 pack for $19.99. I'm out of the BAT army building game for now. I have 2 and that's it.

It looks like two other TRUs in my area were re-stocked earlier this week (Vic Park location and Pickerking).  Bats and Snow Serpents are all gone, which is a good thing as these figures are plastic crack to me.

Plastic crack is an understatement.
I am no army building them, I don't need any more, but if I am in a store that is the first thing I bee line for - and if they have them I end up buying them.
