for those waiting for confirmation that they have arrived in Winnipeg, Regent Ave Wal-Mart has the figures in stock. Thanks to Olyeller's reviews I gave in and picked up Snow Job, Alley Viper, Firefly, and Beachead and Storm Shadow..... they are amazing.
I skipped on Duke, Cobra Commander though.
They also had the mechs (joe and cobra's), the doom cycle, wolf hound and one more vehicle which name eludes me at the moment.
I now hate myself.....hehehe
-
I found the doom cysle and ghost hawk at the brandon zeller, a lone cobra commander at the brandon wal-mart and the hiss tank at the thompson wal-mart.
-
There was a restock of POC in my local Walmart ( Saskatchewan), with double the amount of the items from the first stocking--picked up a second Cobra Commander today. Snowjob seemed to be a variant or running change, as he had NO snow on the beard.
-
HISS tanks, Wolfhound ( Snowcat) and both Mechs have been found in a Saskatchewan Walmart.
Picked up a HISS for myself tonite--retailing at $26 and change
-
I love the packaging on these. A nice retro feel to them.
-
Saw wave 2 at McPhillips Walmart the other day.
-
After a long time I can finally add some news. I found the Cobra Ice Cutter (with snow serpent officer) and the A.W.E Striker (with Night Fox) at the Regent Zellers. I think they scanned at $19.99.
-
I found a duke and a cobra shock viper at the unicity wal-mart today, also a new value village opened up there.

Looks like POC Wave 3 is making it's way east.
-
seriously!? I haven't even found all of wave 2 yet? In fact I haven't seen a single figure from wave 2 anywhere in a long time!

In my AO, which is west of the 'Peg, I have seen stocks and restocks of Wave 2 at both Zellers and Walmart.
Saw plenty of Jungle-vipers on the pegs at one of these.
Also, I have a..........source who works in a local Zellers, who told me of new cases of wave 2 arriving this past week, so stock is still shipping and arriving this close to Christmas.
-
Wal-Mart St. Vital has wave 3 although all I could find was the storm shadow. On a sad note, both Regent Zellers and Regent Wal-Mart have zero pegs for joe figures. Both only have a bottom shelf for vehicles, most of which are the mechs. This annoys me since this is my main hunting area. BOO!!
-
I just found a pursuit of cobra skydive at zellers, looked around but did not find any new ones.
-
Seen Wave 4 revision cases at Walmarts in my locale. Found in one store last week, and found cleaned out there a few days later, then found fresh stock at a second store just a day ago. Honestly, my experience and gut feeling says that we will see restocks of these again--probably in the couple of week and probably a couple of times more.
Seeing only Skydives and Lowlights from wave 4--no Destro or Shadow Tracker from that wave.
Vehicles, as before, are shelf-glue--which is a pity. Only seeing Ice-cutters and Awe Strikers at Walmart.
The local Winners store saw a case of the Fury and Vamp for the nice price of $15--one of each went home with me.
TRU has POC, but Zellers appears to not have restocked since Christmas.
I'm going to start a personal campaign of checking the odd-ball places: stores like Superstore, London Drugs, Home Hardware, Pharmasave and some liquidator places on the off-chance that they MIGHT stock some Joes. Again, past experience has shown that stock DOES sometimes show up at these stores--might be worth a check.

I'm glad you got them. Still waiting for a restock in my stores.

Yeah, I was happy to get both...........but I'm pinching myself now because I really want the next Vamp release with the Steel Brigade driver. Looks like I'll have two!
-
seriously. what locations in particular are you talking about, I'd really like to get my hands on a Lowlight.

I'm in Saskatoon, which would be a bit of a drive from Manitoba.
But don't let that distress you, chances are good you'll see re-stocks in your area too.

well after several months of zero stock in eastern winnipeg, I by chance just happened to check out Regent Zeller's toy section this past saturday while buying some sleepers for my new son and and saw one peg of joes. Mostly first and second wave, but did manage to find one Skydive and one Lowlight (finally!!) in stock. Needless to say they are home with me.
-
new update. TRU on Regent has some new stock. They have wave 5 right now. Steel Brigade, Cobra Commander, Jungle BAT, General Hawk, Blowtorch, and Cobra Trooper. They are not in the military section there. You'll find them on two seperate pegs by all the Halo figures and prince of persia/clearence toys. I almost missed them, so when I left I put a nice bright Blowtorch up front. Passed on the jungle bats and blowtorch completely.
-
Zellers on Regent has the HISS scout and cycle armor listed for $22.99, They also have some of the previous waves,(a couple jungle vipers, a couple of shock troopers, even a low-light).
