Title: Sigma Six at Toys R Us in Toronto
Post by: The RWB on February 27, 2006, 10:59:01 AM: Saw them yesterday at Sherway. I checked the price with the electronic price checker and it wasn't listed yet. They had a lot - Wave 1. I didn't ask anyone as I didn't have the time.

Post by: Raptor on March 04, 2006, 03:40:21 PM: The've been sighted in Hamilton TRU. $19.99 at the scanner. In typical Hasbro promotional style, they are placed face down on the bottom shelf for the far corner of the action figure row with only the ends of the plastic containers showing.

My 1 1/2 year old found them, but I'd never of seen them myself. :?

Dude says that the box just showed up, but more was coming. It was all wave 1 stuff.

Post by: Raptor on March 04, 2006, 10:47:26 PM: I think that we have to have the cartoon for them to make more than a half assed effort to promote them. If I didn't already know what they looked like, I'd have never have figured out where they were from the product placement, which is to say not actually having the face of the product showing. :roll:

We have the cartoon from FOX. I was kind of into it, until it became about killing giant powerstone robots *every* freakin episode. I actually got so bored by the cartoon today I had to switch it off.

Also I hate Tunnel Rat now. Even more so, because I used to like him.

Post by: morgardee on March 06, 2006, 08:43:53 AM: I saw a few at my local ToysRUs in K-Town. Looks like maybe one case of the delux figures at $19.99. No Snake Eyes or Storm shadow, so for now I passed.

Post by: Raptor on March 18, 2006, 01:20:06 PM: How much is the ninja showdown. I picked it up in the US for $12 and I hope I didn't get ripped off too badly.

Post by: Jon S. on March 20, 2006, 09:25:48 AM: Which is Senical? Is that the mall that's mostly abandoned? I went to the TRU there about 3 years ago and it was scary.

I think that's the Summit Park mall you are talking about Jon.

Yep, that'd be it.

Post by: Raptor on March 20, 2006, 11:02:21 AM: Sorry, yes, it's the Summit Park mall. I blew that one bad.

But your loss was my gain on that trip. I picked up 2 blueshirt packs and left two. It was a great day. :D

Post by: Jon S. on March 20, 2006, 11:24:58 AM: I ended up getting 4 infantry packs in the end and I was the most successful on that trip. (I got a ton of Spy Troops *and* caught up on a lot of sleep)

Adios, dirty ol' Toys "R" Us.

Post by: Raptor on March 20, 2006, 08:04:27 PM: Sadly, it was the easiest to get to. The other one is 20 minutes further into enemy territory. ;-) Sadly though there hasn't been anything new really since christmas at either one.

Makes me wonder what they did with al the heavy weapons packs. They sure didn't sell them...
