Title: Is Zellers offering the new ROC merchandise?
Post by: Redmao on July 22, 2009, 05:54:10 PM

Ever since the ROC figures have popped here and there I visited a few Z's only to find a whole mess of Ben 10 figures and a few SW peg warmers.

Are they supposed to be part of the whole GI Joe bandwagon or has Hasbro pull the plug on them?

If they can't even have the regular stuff, it looks very bad for the upcoming Target exclusives.

A Zellers in London said they are.  Zellers is often behind the rest - they are likely waiting for the shelf reset in August.

I've seen the movie figures and vehicles in Zellers here in Winnipeg just today,  so they should have them.

Three Zellers in London have tons of ROC stuff out. Masonville Z also has tons of 25th stuff still too: 5 packs, DVD sets, comic packs, vehicles and the other two I went to had copious amounts of ROC, though at one it was in the movie section not the toy section. The Zellers on Highbury had a dozen or so Target jets too. Not bad at all! I haven't been to the Westmount Zellers yet though, but otherwise London is well covered with Joes.

Zeller's Cornwall had a ton or RoC out.

It's all in a display in the middle of the aisle.  Same thing they did with Transformers, Indy, Hulk and so on...  One of those big, cardboard displays.

Both The Zellers at Lawrence and Marlee and Jane and Wilson in Toronto have ROC stuff...

I've been to five different Zellers in the Edmonton area and they all had the same setup in the aisle by the toy section, with the same selection and what looks like the same amount of toys.

Zellers Brantford pretty much sucks most the time. No RoC toys here.

Here on Montreal's South Shore, the local Zellers had a pallet in the middle of the aisle full of singles, alpha vehicles and Night Ravens. It was actually out about a week before the first sightings in the US. It's been picked pretty clean (I contributed to that a little more than I should have   :wink:) All that's left are a bunch of Destros, Baronesses, Vipers, a couple of Night Ravens and a single Mole Pod. I haven't seen any ROC at other Montrea-area Zellers yet.

The Greenwood Zellers has the cardboard display up, luckily for me I can take my time and pick up stuff as I can afford it as the Joe stuff doesn't move fast here, they still have stacks of the 3 pack MARS sets collecting dust until I can pick up a few of them.   8)
