I went to walmart and they had 4 Cobra Gunships and only 1 Steel Crusher that I bought for Latinjoe22. They had a lot of alpha vehicles but hurry soon as it looked like a 4 year old stocked the shelves and the product is getting damaged.Which walmarts did you goto? Did they all have the sale?

ah thanks, Ill go after work. Not sure if Ill get anything but for that price it makes good custom fodder. Is tonite the last day?Tonight is not the last day but people are buying 2 or more at a time. so the stock will be gone by tonight. My guess is someone will post them for sale on EVILBAY to make a quick buck.

Unknown, but doubtful. I scooped up my Dragonhawk and Steel Crusher at the Kennedy/Sheppard today. However they did not have the price cut posted so I had to scan the item to make sure. So if you don't see the price tag marked down, double check at a scanner.

I aslo saw them at the Wal-Mart in Milton.
I was actually looking for the Wal-Mart exclusive Iron Man 6" figures - didn't find War Machine but these were a surprise bonus.
As for pictures - I will try and take some and post tomorrow.

They were not officially canceled. Actually, the opposite was stated from Hasbro in a recent Q&A:
Quote
QUESTION 4) What is the status of the ROC wave 3 Alpha Vehicles are we going to see them at retail or are they getting canceled?
ANSWER 4) Some quantities of this wave have started shipping, so keep an eye out!
It was rumored these were canceled because online stores canceled orders for them, however Hasbro never stated they were in fact canceld.

I wouldn't be surprised if these started showing up at Walmarts all over Ontario, in the next couple of weeks.
Yeah there are already auctions on Ebay from someone in Brampton and someone in Nova Scotia (don't bother though, they are both asking over $100 for EACH one).
I would say it is a safe bet they will start showing up around the country in the next few weeks.
Only interested in the Volcano Viper and a Tiger Claw to go with my Ferret collection.

I hadn't heard of any of these hitting the states yet. There was a kmart.com fiasco where they had them "available" for a pretty long time but people would be actually sent the old wave with the other lava pod and have to return them. I would like to get that leatherneck.

That would be french.

Well actually...there's four different languages.
english, french, spanish, and I'll guess portugese (but I'd have to see the rest of the packaging)
I'd have to see the rest of the packaging though.
It's crazy how these things just showed up...when WM is putting them on clearance.

I was able to take a trip tonight. It is always nice to have to pick up something as an excuse to toy hunt.
I hit the Walmart by Sherway Gardens and Square One.
Sherway didn't have anything out, but they had a cart with cases of stuff. Most of it was TF clearance items (Leaders, deluxes, etc) or ROC clearance stuff (Bravo, Ripit but no Alpha?). There had to be at least 8 cases of the Bravo vehicles and the same for the Ripit vehicles as well.
Square One had at least 3 of each new Alpha and a bunch of Cobra Gunships and Ice Daggers.
So I would hazard a guess that this week will see a flood of vehicles.
Anyone know what the last case assortment of Bravo vehicles consisted of?

I just can't believe that Walmart is putting brand new stock out at clearance prices. They could have put them up on the store website for twice retail and they would have sold out :D

Same thing happened down here with the wal-mart 2 packs and the battle sets (outpost defender etc). Wal-mart loves us. Still, since they barely appeared at retail, I wonder if they were produced in small numbers or if we'll see them at the discount stores.

I went to Walmart in Burlington (Appleby Line and Dundas) where a guy threw his arms around a ton of the $8 vehicles and proclaimed he was buying them all. I don't believe in getting in a dust up over toys, so, I told him what I thought of him and walked away. This guy is not a collector or even getting a few extras for fellow collectors. He's a jerk who's looking to sell on ebay and score whatever he can. It's guys like this that give collectors a bad name. I took a trip down to the other Walmart in Burlington (Brant) and grabbed an Alpha. There was only one left, a Polar Shark. I didn't ask if they had any in the back. Both locations did have a mix of about a dozen Bravos.

Seriously? WOW someone really has their priorities screwed up. I would be super embarassed to even try something like that, let alone make such a huge public display. Of course with that said, I would not be above making a scene just to mess with the guy.
You should have just gotten a manager and explained you were looking to get some sale items and a person doing what that guy did would not be allowed to clear out all stock. Stores now prevent that with limits that are either posted, or arbitrarily applied by a manager. I should know since I did that exact thing as a manager.

Give it some time. It's been less than a week since these things just started popping up.

Cool, I had just about given up on that Walmart, I checked the past 2 weeks frequently then just got my set from Band :) I might pick up another set for trade.
