I found a couple of Tiger Claws too, were those your returns? If so, thanks!

Fanshawe Park WM on the edge of London got one case of figures and one case each of all the vehicles. Nothing had been touched so I grabbed the CC and Alley Viper. Left all the rigs since I already worked a trade for them on yojoe. My gut feeling was that we were gonna get screwed out of the first wave entirely, I am glad I am wrong. I love that the stands went back to 25th style and that Cobras are two-pegged now! This line is far superior to the movie line, which wasn't without its charms on its own.

I went back to Argyle WM in London after snagging that mech ten minutes before close, and they'd floored all the toys but all teh Joe they got was two cases of Mechs. Disappointing!

pretty neat these are coming in full force
I already have US versions coming of most, but these will be great to have to open. Grabbed a Cobra Mech off the top of a pallet, the restock hadn't happened yet but they were out to be shelved, so I just opened a case while no one was looking.

Do you guys honestly think they won't show up at Canadian retail? I'd hate to have to ebay these or hunt them down at ebay-like prices at comic shops.
I can't find anyone with a straight answer anywhere whether or not multilingual versions are going to show up in Canada. Basically I keep checking here to see if anyone finds some at TRU. I am tending toward the skeptical side but maybe they'll surprise us?

I am sitting on a bunch of W3 but I paid 13 for most of them since Wal-marts here only barely saw them (or someone more savvy than myself did the rounds). My personal set was from W-M but the rest I scoured five Winners for. But yeah, I am hoping to use them as currency toward some HTF non-Canadian Joe stuff.

Nice that they're bringing these in at Heroes. I am still hoping they get released at Canadian retail but I am not holding my breath. How are the vehicles?

I am happy to have bought GH Steel Brigade and Ninja Viper from Hasbro back in 1993 but honestly I would rather have older more common figures like swivel arm versions of series 1 figures and some guys like Heavy Metal et al. Not that I am unloading my valuable figures, I just don't see that they should be worth so much, both are rather ugly.

found a restock of two cases of W3 Alphas and Dragonhawks/Hydras at Masonville Winners in London. I grabbed the Tiger Claws but the rest are still there. I went to one other (Fanshawe) and it was tapped out of all Joe stuff other than non-figure movie tie-ins.
