Zellers is doing a very poor job of keeping G.I. Joe stocked, you never know what they're going to have or when they'll get it.

Agreed.  Zellers in my area has dropped the ball.  Last week, I spotted wave 4 (or 25th wave 8 ) at the closest Zellers by me.  It's time to move onto the next waves and not keep going back to the older waves, in which the collector market has gotten their fill of.

The zellers closest to me had 1 figure and no vehicles.
The one figure was Sgt. flash on the generic no artwork cards.

Wal-Mart is usally the first place where I have spotted them.  My local comic shop has imported them in as well.

Here is what I don't get.  If TRU can release their exclusives in Canada without the lame international packaging, why don't the single carded figure get the same treatment?   I hate the international packaging. 


Don't think they can release them in Quebec.  Or, maybe Quebec chains refuse to sell non-international packaging.  I live next door to Quebec and even in this part of Ontario, the big chains won't carry non-bilingual singles.  Makes me think local managers have a say.

Either way, my money's on Quebec holding up wide-spread non-bilingual releases.
