...and the best part is that they're in proper packaging. It looked like a single case.
They're 14.99 each.
-
Cool. What part of Ontario are you in?
-
No French on the packaging, I take it?

Nope. They're the American packaging, even with the Doc stickers, etc...
-
Sweeeet Looks like I'm going to Zellers tomorrow, nice.
-
Found em at my Zellers, they're $14.99 a shot. There is a full set and a half left.
-
That's cool. Then there is a good chance I've got them. Nice thing about Zellers is there is a lot of stores around. Too bad the toy section is always trashed.
-
Cool. What part of Ontario are you in?
I was at the Cambridge Mall at the time.
-
man my malls suck, neither zellers in my area have them. they don't even have sigma 6 anymore
-
I found them at the Oshawa Centre's Zellers.
-

Dude. Your in my neck of the wood (sort of).
I went to the crappy Zellers near my house (Kitchener) and nothing yet.
-
I found them at the Oshawa Centre's Zellers
You are my new mortal enemy sir. Unless you have an extra dreadknock 2 pack.
-
That one is in wave 2... which we don't have up here ... yet.

I didn't buy any of them. All they had was wave 1 (Duke and CC x2, Scarlett and Hawk x2, and SE and SS x2). I have a friend in the States that has already found wave 1 and 2 for me. How the heck I am suppose to know Canada was going to get comic packs, yet alone Zellers that hasn't carried 3 3/4 Joes for over a decade. This has been Canada's biggest problem. Get the freaking product the same time as the Americans. I don't wait.
-

Yep your right. Some places I've seen though are advertising that it is a wave of 5 2 packs not 3.

Ah good...unfortanatly I don't have an american connection.....yet. I do agree about hasbro giving canada the short end of the stick here...totally sucks.
-
I found two full sets at the Zellers on Upper James in Hamilton.
I can head back and get them should anyone need them. If someone local wants them, PM me and I'll let you know where I hid them..... yes, it felt good to HIDE Joes again. LOL.
When I was a kid, I'd hide them in the barbies until I had money to come back and buy them...
I would of picked them up, but it's just easier this way since I'm over in that area nearly every day anyway.
-
checked my zellers today no joe. this sucks. :'(
-
No joes at zellers or walmart at square one or the walmart in etobicoke. I might check the one walmart at south common mall and the one at the 401 and Winston church hill
-
Joes at Zellers bodes well for the Target exclusive vehicles coming here (though it's a shame they don't carry any of the original art work).
-

How so? Is there a history of Zellers carrying Target exclusives?

Zellers has carried Target AND K*B exclusives before.
So it could happen again.

Whats up with Cobra Commanders back?

I didn't know that. Any examples?
-

Two that I can think of off the top of my head:
Target Bumblebee Two Pack
K*B Toys Action Fleet Remote Control AT-AT (This is about 8 years ago).
I KNOW they've had a few other things that were Target exclusive before - I think Hot Wheels, Superheroes.... and I think another Star Wars thing.
But I either wasn't into them, or didn't care enough to remember. ;-)
The AT AT I actually bought at Zellers. And I saw the bumblebee one with my own eyes ($35.00 - yikes! - It was $16.00 in the U.S.)
-
Recently as well there were items from the movie "Cars" (certain three packs of cars) that were there. If I remember correctly they even had the "Only at (Target)" stickers on them.
-
There was still a Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow comic pack @ the Cambridge Mall Zellers as of last night. Someone should put it out of it's misery. None of the other Zellers in the area seem to have them. I think that one store put them out because they have absolutely nothing on the shelves. That comic pack for example was the only toy on a good 5-6 foot section of the toy aisle.
-
Ok. No PMs means no one in my area needs them. So I'll take them from their hiding place tomorrow when I'm in that area.
-
SE and SS packs found at Zellers Masonville in London.
And I just bought the first 5 packs from eBay two days ago!
-

Comic pack was no longer there when I was out yesterday. I'm not sure who's decision it is to only order one case per store but they need to get over it. I'll be very pleasantly surprised if we see another Joe in the KW area in the next 2 months.

I agree. The six comic packs I saw last week in my area are gone.
But I suspect the all those Star Wars comic packs collecting dust are played a role.
-
they are at my zellers (dufferin & dupont - gallerira mall) toronto
-
Well Pete if you mean the ones at the oshawa centre zellers, my buddy Andrew grabbed a set which left one set still on the shelf. I went back last week and they were gone.
-
I found a Hawk and Scarlett pack at the Masonville Zellers. They must be putting them out one at a time.

They were all gone about 2 weeks ago.
-
Damn....then they must have sold literally the day after me and my buddy went cuz it was about less then an hour till close and there were 2 sets and he grabbed one.
-
Hurray. Finally found these in Zellers. I picked up the Hawk / Scarlet set.

Sweet, which one?
-
Hmm....is it worth braving icy roads in hunt of Joes? :) I still would like to find a Duke/CC pack in stores if I can.
-
They had one left in the Stanley Park Mall Zellers in Kitchener as of 5:30 last night.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out. I was there earlier in the week and they didn't have squat. Though I must say, that has to be the cleanest, best stocked Zellers I've ever been into.

You need to check our Conestoga mall then. That Zellers is clean. No idea if they have any Joes.
-
Toys'R'Us Kitchener had 2 cases of Wave 1 Comic Packs.
The best part is that they were $12.99. That's a fair price in my book.
-
That is a fair price. I still need the Storm shadow/ Snake Eyes and C.C. / Duke packs.
I might check it out.
Thanks for the heads up.
-
Found a full comic case today in Ottawa.
Also I saw two empty pegs that said GI Joe Single Figure $7.99! There was a blue tag on them that said "CR" Any clue what that means? Anyone have Zellers connections?

I do, I just sent him an email.

Just got back from Toys R Us K-Town. They had a lot of the comic packs. Mostly Scarlet and General Hawk left which I found odd. I know Scarlet is a girl but the Hawk figure is better than any of the comic versions of Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, C.C. or Duke IMHO. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this way as Smalljoes has that set listed for $19.99 while the other two sets are $9.99.
I guess it's the non collector market that has been grabbing up the Storm Shadow / S.E. sets. That or the people who don't use on line stores.
BTW, Sigma Six is on sale at Toys R Us. $9.99 for the delux figures. I picked up Grand Slam and Long Range just the heck of it. I'm sure Scramble is pround of me. :wink:
-
I've written the following song in the name of your Sigma Six purchase, Morgardee.
Go Morgee!
Sigma Six!
Oh yeah!
That's why I don't write songs.
-

As of this morning they had:
5 X Scarlett & Hawk
1 x Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow
Glad to see this line moving well so far. I'm cautiously optimistic about what we might see in the next month or so. Hopefully all those empty pegs actually start to fill up.
-
No comic packs or otherwise in St. Catharines.
TRU had loads of S6 stuff at full price. No pegs or space for 25th.
Zellers had pegs labeled for the comic packs, but no stock
-

YMMV on that one. St. Catharines TRU still has everything at full price (at least marked as full price, I have not scanned them)
-
It seemed like a nice day to get out a about so I made a pretty thorough check of the KW area today. I think this is pretty much it for me for a little while, I no longer need anything that's showing up anyway.
Zellers
Cambridge Centre: Sold Out.
Bridgeport and Weber: Nothing. Store is a mess.
Stanley Park Mall: Nothing. They're in the middle of their reset also.
Wal~Mart
Fisher-Hallman: Sold Out.
-
Still nada in St. Catharines, although I scanned the Commando S6 figs at TRU and they did in fact come up at 9.98.
I now own Grand Slam and Camo Long Range...
-
I need an Arctic Duke for a custom.... should anyone find one locally.. (hint hint Ed, Charles - looking at you two!).
TRU on Upper James in Hamilton has a TON of Parachute Dukes ($40.00!), and some of the Animal/figure sets.
What annoys me.... I was in Oakville on Sunday, and saw the Duke there... had no clue they were on sale until I got home and read it here!
-
My local Zellers (the one I can hit a golf shot with one swing), has no pegs dedicated for any 25th GI JOE stuff. >:(

The adventure team (animal sets) scan at 14.98. I didn't scan the parachute one, but I'd say it is discounted as well.
Note that the sale price only shows when you scan them, the peg markings and shelf stickers are all still full price.
-
I got an extra S6 Paratrooper Duke from Wal-Mart for $9.99. Any one want it?

I scanned the Parachute Duke - $39.99

That's sad because on the Zellers.ca site it's $19.99Can. Online only. But you can have it delivered to store for free.

Wow - I was in my local Zellers today, and the place was in a complete upheaval, they are in the middle of a reset, and I found the new Layout Sheets on one of the shelves.
I flipped through it, and found that they will have 2 pegs for the comic packs (comic pck English) and they will have 6 pegs for the single carded figures. 6 Full pegs! I was shocked.
8 Joe filled pegs of action figures.
I noticed the star wars section will have 12. they also have a bunch of space for vehicles and larger items, but the fact is the Joe section will almost have as much shelf presence as Star Wars.
-
Wow, that's pretty cool. Which Zellers is this?
By the way, Zellers Cambridge was cleaned out when I was there this morning. Hope you found some "Morgardee".
-
Georgetown.
Anyone have any idea how long it take them to do a reset?
I really don't want to have to go in every day of the week.

Thanks.
It really depends on the store but it seems to run about a week or so before the whole thing is done. However they seem to do it in stages, so the action figure aisle could be done any time during that period.
-
Crap. I was going to get my brother-in-law to score some for me and then work got in the way of that phone call.
Well, I spoke with a guy at Conestoga Mall who is responsible for ordering stock. I told him how these are selling out everywhere. I even told him about Joe Canuck and the meet this April with Larry Hama and Hasbro Canada. He wrote all the info down along with my personal email address and said he would pass all this info on to the person who does the ordering. He then promised me he would stock the heck out of the place with G.I.Joe and email me when stock arrives. He seemed like a nice guy. Think his name was Grant.
-
Strangely, the pegs labeled for the comic packs at the Fairview mall (St. Catharines) Zellers are now gone.
-
I saw the wave 1 comic packs at a TRU today. $12.99
-
These still kicking around on pegs here?

I haven't seen them at Zellers in ages. Only Toys'R'Us.
-
TRU in Brampton had 2 x Scarlet/Hawk and 1 Snake Eyes Pack.
Left them behind.
I would really like the Second batch of comic packs to appear as I think the US is slated to get Wave 3 any day.
-
Comic Packs seem to be disappearing from Zellers. I haven't seen them restocked in weeks and my local store even took down the peg recently. Is anyone else seeing this? I wonder why.
-
According to Joesightings, Wave 3 is all over the place in the US.
I'd go down, but don't know what kind of March Break traffic would be at the bridge.

Wow.. I had no clue that the Twins were part of Wave 3... I have to get these. Looks like its another Cross border run for me!

K.B. I saw some of the comic packs over at the Zellers by Simcoe Road (Oshawa) last week. They are collecting dust there. I also saw some comic packs at the Whitby TRU as well.
If Hasbro wanted to hit a homer with the comic packs in Canada, I would have passed on this wave as it's weak.

My lovely wife picked me up the Twins comic pack in Florida last week (awsome pack and HAMA comic) she must really love me. Or felt bad that I wasn't there because I had to work.
