Title: Comic 2-Pack Assortment: Wave 5 2008 @ Toys'R'Us
Post by: Storm.Shadow on August 19, 2008, 09:54:37 AM
Toys'R'Us Kitchener had two cases of Wave 5 2008 comic packs out this morning.  They're all there minus 1 Destro & Iron Grenadier pack (I couldn't help myself).

Nice!  I'll have to hit up a Toys R Us on my way around town, this week!

Once again, thanks for the heads up. My credit card doesn't like you but my Joe collection does. I picked up one of each set. I've given up on keep one set of comic packs MOC and one to open. I'll still get the single figures MOC, but everything else I'm not keeping MOC anymore.

LOL, that's OK.  My credit card doesn't like me either! You get used to it after awhile.

Thanks to Storm.Shadow, I checked out a TRU on the way back from a job site in the Toronto area.  I found the two of the three wave 5 packs there, times 2 sets each.  No CC and Tripwire packs were noted. 

I just bought both Iron Grenadier (IG) and Destro packs because of the IG.  You think these packs would have disapeared first instead of CC and Tripwire.

About three cases showed up at the St. Catharines TRU minus one of each CC/TW, LT/NE, D/IG.

Thanks for the sighting! :)

I opened all three last night. I think the worst of the new batch is Falcon. He's boring. The IG is pretty neat even if the colours are wrong (not enough red), Nemesis Enforcer is pretty cool.

Hey stormy thanks for the heads-up, I went over to TRU during my lunch just now and picked up an Onyx Destro/IG pack.

Falcon looks f'd up and although I've heard great things about Nemisis, I'm just not interested in Cobra-La.  There were 3x CC/Trips packs

I have no interest in building an IG army even though they had about 4 packs on the pegs, however I hear this Onyx-head Destro is a variant and I'm using it purely as trade fodder

I agree.  Falcon is the worse of the bunch.

I don't mind less red for the IGs.  I still hate that red pistol the figure comes with, including the V1 version.  Who carries around a red pistol anyways?

Alex, I have an interest in army building the IGs.   :shifty:  What TRU did you find them in?  I assume the one up in Markham.

Just sent you a PM about this, can't find a "sent folder" so i'm not sure if you got it.  I'll see what I can do after work.

All the "good stuff" was gone from Kitchener Toys'R'Us.  All that was left were the Crimson Guard/Officer packs and the Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes sets.

Figures, I'm headed up there this weekend.

Ah well, I hope Zellers comes up with a case or two...

Bryce,

I haven't gone nuts in army building any of the new figures.  But the IG is really hard to pass up.  A couple of more packs should do it on my end as I have a cap number.

I lucked out and managed to snag the last black-mask Destro at Toys R Us, St. Laurent in Ottawa.

It looked like they had two cases of comic packs out, one or so of the second-latest singles wave and a few of the new HISS/Armadillo vehicle cases.  Didn't see a single Vamp or Trouble Bubble...  those are the ones I'm hoping to find.

Toys R Us, they were $12.99, I think.
