I found a couple left overs at Toys'R'Us Kitchener yesterday afternoon. 

They have been doing a reset and there is now a decent chunk of space for Joes.  They had a bunch of DVD Battle sets, Wave 1 vehicles, what looked like a W5R1 comic pack case and a couple of left over singles.
It's was awesome to actually see G.I. Joe get treated like a "real" toy line and not just thrown in the back corner where ever it happens to fit.

Well it's about time. I'm glad to hear it.

Was there any left at the Kitchener store?

I was just about to edit my post to clarify. 

I grabbed the last couple I saw on the shelves, so someone beat me to them.  They received 12, but I don't know if they put them all out already.

Got lucky today. Managed to snag a full set, as well as a BAT and Snow Serpent. Very good joe day for me.

I *love* the purple Iron Grenadier. If anyone doesn't want theirs, I'll buy/trade for them

Thanks.

Just because you asked.  :shifty:  (click picture thumnail for larger view)

Iron Grenadier Command


Comparison of IG comic 2-pack and the IG officer


The IG officer from the 3-pack has more of a gloss to the lower legs than the comic pack version.  Otherwise, they are basically the same.
