Nope. They're the American packaging, even with the Doc stickers, etc...

I didn't buy any of them. All they had was wave 1 (Duke and CC x2, Scarlett and Hawk x2, and SE and SS x2). I have a friend in the States that has already found wave 1 and 2 for me. How the heck I am suppose to know Canada was going to get comic packs, yet alone Zellers that hasn't carried 3 3/4 Joes for over a decade. This has been Canada's biggest problem. Get the freaking product the same time as the Americans. I don't wait.

That one is in wave 2... which we don't have up here ... yet.
Yep your right. Some places I've seen though are advertising that it is a wave of 5 2 packs not 3.

I can head back and get them should anyone need them. If someone local wants them, PM me and I'll let you know where I hid them..... yes, it felt good to HIDE Joes again. LOL.
When I was a kid, I'd hide them in the barbies until I had money to come back and buy them...
I would of picked them up, but it's just easier this way since I'm over in that area nearly every day anyway.

Zellers has carried Target AND K*B exclusives before.
So it could happen again.

Two that I can think of off the top of my head:
Target Bumblebee Two Pack
K*B Toys Action Fleet Remote Control AT-AT (This is about 8 years ago).
I KNOW they've had a few other things that were Target exclusive before - I think Hot Wheels, Superheroes.... and I think another Star Wars thing.
But I either wasn't into them, or didn't care enough to remember. ;-)
The AT AT I actually bought at Zellers. And I saw the bumblebee one with my own eyes ($35.00 - yikes! - It was $16.00 in the U.S.)

There was still a Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow comic pack @ the Cambridge Mall Zellers as of last night.
Comic pack was no longer there when I was out yesterday. I'm not sure who's decision it is to only order one case per store but they need to get over it. I'll be very pleasantly surprised if we see another Joe in the KW area in the next 2 months.

I agree. The six comic packs I saw last week in my area are gone.
But I suspect the all those Star Wars comic packs collecting dust are played a role.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out. I was there earlier in the week and they didn't have squat. Though I must say, that has to be the cleanest, best stocked Zellers I've ever been into.

You need to check our Conestoga mall then. That Zellers is clean. No idea if they have any Joes.
Post by: Storm.Shadow on February 02, 2008, 10:45:47 AM
The best part is that they were $12.99. That's a fair price in my book.

I guess it's the non collector market that has been grabbing up the Storm Shadow / S.E. sets. That or the people who don't use on line stores.
BTW, Sigma Six is on sale at Toys R Us. $9.99 for the delux figures. I picked up Grand Slam and Long Range just the heck of it. I'm sure Scramble is pround of me. :wink:

Just got back from Toys R Us K-Town. They had a lot of the comic packs. Mostly Scarlet and General Hawk left which I found odd.
As of this morning they had:
5 X Scarlett & Hawk
1 x Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow
Glad to see this line moving well so far. I'm cautiously optimistic about what we might see in the next month or so. Hopefully all those empty pegs actually start to fill up.
Post by: Stealth Viper on February 04, 2008, 01:18:06 PM
TRU had loads of S6 stuff at full price. No pegs or space for 25th.
Zellers had pegs labeled for the comic packs, but no stock

TRU on Upper James in Hamilton has a TON of Parachute Dukes ($40.00!), and some of the Animal/figure sets.
What annoys me.... I was in Oakville on Sunday, and saw the Duke there... had no clue they were on sale until I got home and read it here!

The adventure team (animal sets) scan at 14.98. I didn't scan the parachute one, but I'd say it is discounted as well.
Note that the sale price only shows when you scan them, the peg markings and shelf stickers are all still full price.

That's sad because on the Zellers.ca site it's $19.99Can. Online only. But you can have it delivered to store for free.

I flipped through it, and found that they will have 2 pegs for the comic packs (comic pck English) and they will have 6 pegs for the single carded figures. 6 Full pegs! I was shocked.
8 Joe filled pegs of action figures.
I noticed the star wars section will have 12. they also have a bunch of space for vehicles and larger items, but the fact is the Joe section will almost have as much shelf presence as Star Wars.

It really depends on the store but it seems to run about a week or so before the whole thing is done. However they seem to do it in stages, so the action figure aisle could be done any time during that period.

Well, I spoke with a guy at Conestoga Mall who is responsible for ordering stock. I told him how these are selling out everywhere. I even told him about Joe Canuck and the meet this April with Larry Hama and Hasbro Canada. He wrote all the info down along with my personal email address and said he would pass all this info on to the person who does the ordering. He then promised me he would stock the heck out of the place with G.I.Joe and email me when stock arrives. He seemed like a nice guy. Think his name was Grant.
