Remainder of wave 9...a BBQ, Bazooka and Wild bill.
Also a fresh case of wave 8 was on the floor ready to be processed. Thats the Hiss Driver/Viper/Spirit etc wave.
There is a Hiss there as well with a headless driver. The head is in the box, you may be able to snag it at a discount.
This is as of 12am, Sept 26.
-
New case of wave 9 up + a revision case with Flash, Mjr. Bludd and some others.
This is as of 19/10/08

FastFord that headless HISS Commander MIB could be an ultra rare variant on eBay!!!!
just saying :)

haha, I saw the headless Rip It in Brantford too, the head doesn't look like it broke off, just not ever attached

Yeppers. The headless driver finally sold and they restocked with more Air Chariots and Hiss tanks.
That Hiss sat there for a good 2 months.
-
So I go in there 2 days ago and no Joes other then all the vehicles. I go back today to see that they must have had some single carded Joes and all thats left is Spirit. He's probably still there if anyone needs him.
-
He's gone and the headless hiss commander tank has returned lol.
-

LOL! They must have just taken him off the shelf for a few days then. Why don't they just send it back defective? I mean technically someone can just stick his head back on but everyday people don't know that. The package is mangled as well.
-
All of wave 10 minus Croc Master is up as of nov. 21.
-
Thanks! I went down as soon as I saw this post. I grabbed Mutt, Bat, and TF Duke. Still a bunch of stuff left for others :)
Gotta say, the "fixed" Duke arms are not as fixed as one would believe. As soon as I tried to bend him at the elbow the forearm fell off. It popped back on but now I see why the original arms were made the way they were.

No prob. I try to post up as soon as I find them. I guess you also noticed that they restocked yet more Air Chariots and Hiss Tanks. I'm certain the new vehicles will never hit Canadian shelves at this point.
-
I've pretty much given up hope on vehicles. Not that I buy too many due to lack of space. I did buy a Hiss with a driver who had a head.
I'm dying to get to the next wave with Flint in Cobra gear and that Pilot Scarlett.
-
More wave 10 in. Looks like 2 cases worth. Everything there except paraviper.
-
Thanks for the tip! I went down there. Then...showed restraint. They had a ton of Indiana Jones figures there for $3.95 each. I don't actually collect the line but I picked up a figure of Indy's "son" Mutt. I did so because for months I've been wanting to get one to call "Spike" and have with my Transformers. So I did just that now that they're cheap and I painted an Autobot symbol on his Jacket for kicks. He's standing beside my Bumblebee.
-
Yeah, I was going to pick up that burning heart guy (can't remember his name), but I didn't.
Also, our Zellers has the IJ Cargo Truck in which I know a lot of people like to use for a Cobra troop transport.
-
One case of wave 10 out. Our Walmart is officially the worst one for Joes.
-
Thanks for the tip! Headed there now. Our Walmart does suck for Joes!!!
-
ohhhhh wave 10. I got it confused with 11. My Matt Trakker dreams go unfulfilled once again. I did get some Marvel figs in the Joe scale. :)
They were over a buck more for the Marvel stuff then the Joe stuff and I would like to add the Joes are better quality.
edit: I sent Walmart Brantford an email asking them why we don't get the product that Cambridge or Woodstock gets. I wonder if they'll reply. lol.
-
You need to get up to Guelph Walmart.
-
Georgetown walmart has good selection, that inclueds the eels, and few others from newer waves. Also lots of the usual peg warmers eg. Wild Bill
-
I actually got a call yesterday from the Brantford Walmart manager. He said that Brantford is a busier store and that's why they never have any Joes in. I mentioned that if I go to Cambridge or Woodstock they have like 4 or more pegs of them compared to Brantford's one peg (sometimes 2) and that if those of us in Brantford are not there the day they get stocked we don't get them. He said he'd look into ordering more in the future. I don't think they realize just how much people want them.
-
More product on the pegs would be very nice.
-
I think retail is still afraid that Joes are poison, cuz, you know, nearly 20 years of average to terrible product and sales. When I was still collecting in the 90s before the fall of the ARAH line, I was routinely picking up product that had been on the shelf for years. I'm talking 1992 cards and vehicles as late as the end of '94. It's no wonder retail is being cautious with Joes now. The movie should invigorate things all over at least.
-
I'm worried that they'll order lots of movie toys and they'll sell as well as poor Indy did. I know I don't want the movie toys unless they end up being really great. I'll probably get one or two.
-
If anybody wants 19 million combat heroes then Brantford is the place to go with 3 full pegs. Ohh and if you want a single carded Major Blood, they got him too. But just one of him and just him.
-
1 x EEL
1 X Pilot Scarlett
1X Paraviper
in stock at wallymart as of this post.
-
Now all they have is Pilot Scarlett because I bought the Eel and Para Viper. Both are as good as everyone said they are! It was the first time I've seen them in stores. Ohh and somebody really wanted the Major Blood but didn't want to pay for him. I found his open package further down the isle.
-
lmao...that's what the empty bubble was. I couldn't find the file card.
-
Branturd WalMArt has a load of the Cobra 5 packs and VvV Greatest Battles stuff. And I do mean a load. They take up an entire StarWars display.
-
You were not kidding! They had the Joe and Cobra 5 packs and the VvV pack. Right below them are the Transformers Mighty Muggs which are kinda cute. Below that is Optimus Prime. He's...$69.
I'd like to note that my Baroness lost an arm 5 seconds after opening the box. The Vipers helmet doesn't stay on by itself either. Going to glue both. I might paint some of Zartans skin blue. But we'll see...
-
There is a rack of the wave with TF Duke and Mutt at Brantford Walmart.
-
Are the DVD packs selling? I haven't had time to go in a couple weeks or so.
-
They still have a bunch there. They moved them to the regular row instead where they had them originally.
