I have a feeling THIS might have something to do with it. 

From the GIJCC's Terms & Conditions page:

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
Fun Publications, Inc. realizes that collectibles have worldwide appeal. We ship anywhere that the United States Postal Service or FedEx delivers. However, there are restrictions. Upon your first order, you will need to fax us a copy of your credit card, front and back as well as photo identification, which shows your signature to 817-448-9843. If a credit card transaction is made through our site without the fax confirmation of your identity, we reserve the right to CANCEL THE ORDER.

This seemed blatantly wrong and stupid, and was the reason why I have hesitated to join.   Anyone with half a brain knows you're not supposed to fax or email your credit card info, as those transmission methods have always been considered NOT secure.   

I was tempted to phone my credit card company to ask them about this, but I never got around to it.  I would think your CC company wouldn't side with you if you were scammed after being this careless with your card information.

I was in a little bit of shock.  I don't recall the last time I saw new GI-Joe figures at a Toys R Us here in Edmonton.

Anyway, I was in the southside store yesterday and they had pegs full of whatever new wave(s) with the following:
Cobra trooper/soldier
Cobra Commander
General Hawk
Blowtorch
Steel Brigadier

When will Hasbro ever get a clue on how to pack cases.   There were a 'few' cobra troopers, which will be obvious army builders to some.  And yet the pegs had TONNES of Blowtorches, with Cobra Commander being the next prevalent.  Can we say "peg warmer"?

I still haven't found a Low-Light (or Shadow Tracker) in the wild here in Edmonton.

Does anyone have an extra one they could sell or trade for a reasonable amount?

Thx.

I just picked up a pink Zarana on ebay for $35.   Was that a decent price?

BTW, does anyone know what they were selling for originally at SDCC and at the Hasbro online shop?

Thx.

I'm getting a little discouraged.   I have yet to see any evidence of Low Light and his accompanying wave (Shadow Tracker, etc.) hitting shelves here.    At least as far as the Edmonton area goes.

Have others in Canada been finding them?   If so, what store chains are carrying them?   I'm starting to worry if I'm going to completely miss that wave.

Thanks.

Wait, Firefly is Wave 1 too?
Crap.

Yep.  We gotta hope more Wave 1 gets restocked.
