I found a couple of wave 1 vehicles @ Wal~Mart today.  The price is a little better there, $19.92.  There was a HISS Tank and an Armadillo set still there (Sunrise Center) when I left.

How well does the new Trouble Bubble hold together?

Man, I was just there yesterday and they had nothing.

Good to know they are showing up.

Mine seems fine, though I haven't given it much of a test.

Mine looks good. Funny thing to admit but I was playing with it for a few mins after I put it together. In fact, I had all the vehicles on the table putting stickers on and they were waiting for "display life" of the shelf and I just sorta picked up the trouble bubble and started to make the "whoooosh" sounds and the next thing I knew I had about 5 mins of battle going on.

No toy has made me do that in years. I sorta figured I would wait for my son to "play again" but the trouble bubble (something I never owned as a kid) did it for me.

Good times.

BTW, mine is holding together fine.

These showed up at Zellers over the weekend. 1 case per store, 19.99 each.  Didn't pick any up, but I was tempted by the ram vs trouble bubble.

Which Zellers is that?  The toy aisle in my local store is completely empty of anything interesting.

No TRU. No Walmart. No Zellers.

The toy gods are not wanting me to get these sets.

OMG! I just got to this thread today, I had no clue that these vehicles made it to Canada.. I'm freaking out.. I'll be making a toy run tonight for sure.

Funny thing was I was just in Port Huron last weekend searching Target for these vehicles, and I could only find a Hiss Tank and ended up passing it. Although I did manage to pick up the Weather Dominator DVD set, so I was happy with that.

Hope I find something tonight!

When I say Zellers, I mean the one at stone rd. in Guelph. It's pretty much connected to the building that I work at by a parking lot, so checking it doesn't waste any gas.

Note that it was only one case, one of each of the four packs. Almost picked up the touble bubble one, but I passed. I have no room for vehicles that aren't named firebat.

Success!

Went to TRU last night, at first couldn't find anything GI Joe. My wife notice a lady stocking the shelves. As a rule I don't usually bother asking these people because they just usually look at the shelves and say if it isn't there we don't have it.

Anyways my wife asked the lady for me, and to my surprise, she got up and said that she thought she had just received a shipment of Joe vehicles. 5 minutes later the lady came back with a fresh case of Joe vehicles. I picked up both the Ram/Flight pod and Vamp. I left the Hiss and Serpentor Combo, as I could have got these over the weekend in the states for $14.99, and it didn't seem like much of a deal to pay $22.99.

So I'm happy. However I'm gonna go check a few Zellers now, as it was mentioned that they were selling the vehicles for 19.99.. wouldn't mind saving the few extra dollars!

Good Luck to everyone, and I just wanted to Thank everyone for the info in this thread, I thought it was only possible to get the vehicles I wanted on my monthly states run.. I'm so happy!
