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

But it's nice to see you guys up north finally get stuff before us for a change, and super cheap at that. 

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.

They are at the Scarborough Town Centre!!! I picked up a Lava Pod for myself, not interested in the others.  But I did pick up a complete set of 4 for anyone who can't wait for them or can't get them at all.  They still had a few of each when I left the store.

The rock slide has a pretty decent Dusty Figure. The Polar Shark driver looks like he should be part of the Joe Canuck universe (red and black). Leather Neck is a bit dull but worth $8.00.

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.

Okay, rant over. Hope you're all enjoying the great summer.

Cheers,
Ian

The set of 4 I bought is on hold for someone already, but I will go back the Town Centre tomorrow and see if there are any left to help our Friends to the South!

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.

Good advice. You know, it's not like I'm afraid of conflict, far from it. But, over toys, I just couldn't do it. So, a few choice words and off I went. Sad part is that guy didn't even flinch. As if what I was saying was something he'd heard so often it just didn't bother him at all. I've always told my wife that when it comes to collectibles, I'd give something up to a kid - this guy wouldn't give it up to anyone unless it was at a profit. Really sad.

Anyway, screw him. I got into collecting the 3 3/4" with the film and I really like just poking around to see what I can find. Like tonight. Oh, and I'm getting into the comic books too. Got some on the way. Looking forward to reading them.

Cheers,
Ian

No evidence these have showed up in my area yet.
