Title: Zellers having a sale.
Post by: B on August 06, 2009, 04:12:17 PM
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this before but looking through my flyer today and I noticed that the Gi Joe Classic Large Vehicles (python conquest and tiger rat) and maybe others are $10 off. Price $29.99  Other figures etc are 25% off.

edit: oops, yes I forgot to mention it starts Friday, Aug 7.

Excellent!!  Thank you for the heads up!

What great news!  At $30, I can afford a second one or two.

Thanks for the heads-up!

How awesome is it to see G.I. Joe in the weekly adds/catalogs etc!?

Here's the screen cap from the Zellers flyer:

They just opened a giant "Super" Zellers near me today.  Great opening considering they had CAW picketing due to a strike at their distribution centre.

Anyway, the Zellers didn't have a lot, but they did have about 60 PP Conquests and TF Tiger Rats combined.

I can't believe how many Tiger Rats and Python Conquests are out there!  Every Zellers I go to is loaded.  What the heck kept them from running that many of the blue Rattler and grey Conquest - not to mention the Ultimate Battle...  Yeesh.

Complaining aside, it's great to see sales on these being advertised, instead of just quietly moved to the clearance aisle. 

Any idea if the DVD Pack figures are on sale, too?

This is really great!! I wanted the Python Conquest but too cheap to actually get it. And I felt bad that Zellers ordered so many and they'd not sell and then Zellers might not order special things again...

Note that the 25% off also applies to the Movie Alpha Vehicles.  After the discount they are $14.99.

Hmm.. Goood to know about the Alpha. May be time to get a ATV.

Seems that the TRU sale is better though. B1G1F applies to Combat Heroes (movie versions) as well

Gonna pick up a Cobra Gunship.

Where are you picking up the gunship?  I was holding off getting the SUV for the Motor Viper becuase of the price.
-that is the bravo series correct?

Zellers or TRu for the best price on them?

TRU now. Zellers doesn't have them as part of their sale.

Regular price is $34.99
Sale price will be $26.25

Regular price at walmart is $28.98


I bit on the SUV for regular Walmart price. It's a GREAT toy. Probably my favourite joe toy in some time

I had no intention of getting the Gunship - until I saw the movie. That thing is seriously BADASS.

That's exactly what I did.  It's pretty cool, though the "Acrap" figure in all black is a little boring.  A working winch on the front would have added a lot to the vehicle as well, IMO.

I'll second that.  It's very solid, great looking vehicle with lots of playability.  $30 is a bit pricey, but I have no regrets.  If anyone has a sale that puts these closer to $20 I'll gladly pick up another.

Yes they do have them there.  They're on a end cap a few aisles down from where the action figures are.  Where they have all the larger playhouses and such.  There is also a few in a random aisle at the very back of the store (close to were they have the toddler toys.)

Excellent, thanks.  My wife keeps me on a short leash when we go there so I did not think to look where the playhouses are. ;D

You're welcome, and good luck.  There should be plenty there.  There were 10-15 of each when I was there this morning.

Hasbro is not very SMRT.  Hasbro probably thought that because the original versions of these vehicles sold out that they had better produce twice as many of the python patrol and tiger force versions.

Yes HASBRO is not too saavy sometimes with the quantities they release for some items. I agree that if Zellers doesn't move these big items, there is the chance they won't stalk much GI JOE the next time around.

I was at Zellers today and they had at least six of each of these vehicles. It's in the Burlington Mall if your local store is out of stock. Or, need me to pick it up, let me know. I can drop by there tomorrow.

Cheers,
