Don't forget jjreason this version of CAN file card may not be around much longer therefore--highly collectable.  I've had several US collectors ask if I could find some for them.  I have yet to come across any.

Really? It seems that's all I'm finding! lol

Finally found some wave 5 Canadian cards at my TRU. I swore I would never buy them and then I saw them on the shelf and snatched them up. Most of the case was there but I took Snow Job, Flash, and a CG. Shipwreck and Cobra Commander remain, so I guess someone beat me to the Destro and Snake Eyes. Please give us the US cards Hasbro!

Blade Destro seems particularly hard to find.  He's usually the only one missing when I find these in stores.  Oddly enough the Crimson Guards are usually the last ones to go.

I've yet to see Blade Destro or Snake Eyes in my area.

If anyone comes across the Snake Eyes let me know. I want to get a set of the Canadian packaging for myself.

Thanks.

Better late than never.

Saw the no-art carded Wave 5 at St. Catharines TRU this morning. Rather shocked to see them...

Just checked TRU Kitchener hoping to find the last couple of figures I'm looking for but no luck.  Perhaps I'm just missing them as I don't check that often, but I haven't seen anything there since the initial shipment about a month ago.

TRU Kitchener just received what looked like 3 cases of Wave 5 on International Cards.

AS in the new cards with the 3 joes pictured? Or the old "no pic, blank explosion" cards?

I was in TRU St Catharines earlier this week and they had the US packaged comic packs!  I was shocked...I scooped up a Tomax/Xamot.  I went back 2 days later and...all gone!  Seems like these are quite popular.  Hasbro Canada should take the hint!

That is great news - the only comic pack I am missing are the Dreadnocks.
I would love to pick up extras of all of the 2nd and third wave, but I would rather do it at local retail.
