That is terrible news, I was working on getting permission from my wife on a US Joe Hunt.  But that will have to wait until "Toy Season" is back.

I wish they would put some of the new stuff out now, because when the HST hits Ontario I'm not going to have a lot of disposable cash.

There can be only one.  One true GIJoe that is!

HST will take a bite out of the GI Joe budget, but if POC comes out later this year we will have time to save up.  I hope! When does "Toy Season" begin anyway?  November or sooner?

I was a walmart today and I scanned a couple of figures as I thought they raised the price and found out they have reduced the price to $5.  The reduced price is on some figures, the usual peg warmers.  So if you missed out on the Zellers deal and wanted more figures check it out.

I guess this topic was seen by some Walmart Execs as they have been slowly stocking up Joes.  The Walmarts West of Toronto were the lucky ones while us East Siders are finally getting them.  And at $5 each what a deal!  Posting things we want may actually work? Maybe I should post a topic that states Why is Zellers not putting the Target exculsives on Sale for 50% as well?

Here in the southeast us, my local wal-mart has completely removed joe from the toy isle, clearanced out and removed.  Other wal-marts have strangely clearanced some out and left some in.  I guess they're downsizing.  Baffles me to see joe downsized/removed and see a ton of iron men in different outfits.  Of course, I'm all about the 25th, so...  We've had a cool run lately at tj maxx, ross, marshall's, and now big lots with the 25th.

Dufferin Mall Toys "R" Us and Walmart both doing $5 Joes.

They're the same Joes that have been there for months and months, though.
