Well found something odd
« on: October 11, 2009, 07:47:24 PM »
Does Canada have any discount stores like we have in the U.S.? For example Big Lots or TJMaxx?
I just found a Canadian packaged 25th Python Patrol Crimson Guard at an AJ Wright store for US$3. http://www.tjx.com/
Oh I guess I answered my own question. Winners must have some toys too right?
P.S.
Happy Thanksgiving to my northern neighbors!  ;D

Winner's is pretty much it.  Though, there are a few Clearance stores that carry Joes, every now and then.  "Liquidation World" sometimes lucks into them.

I don't think I've ever seen Joes at Winners though.... Not any in Montreal, anyway.

I've only seen a couple of 25th Wildbills at one Winners of Montreal but that's not really worth mentionning...

I picked up two HISSs at Winners a few months ago, 12.99 each. Sweet.

They have some at giant tiger, $9.99 for the figures and $17.99 for the vehicles, not much of a discount.

Wow I found some more at a store here called Tuesday Morning. http://www.tuesdaymorning.com
They had Cobra Diver, Python CG, Tripwire, Bazooka trooper, & Cobra Commander. US$4
Why is all this coming back to the US? Didn't you guys like the 25th figures?  :shifty:

I'm surprised as well.  The stores in my area hardly ever brought any 25th anniversary figures in.  And when they did they usually disappeared pretty quickly.  You can still find the odd one around but it seems like major retailers gave up on these far too quickly so Hasbro had to find other means of clearing the stock.

The main problem was that our stores were so slow in getting and ordering 25th Joes most of the collectors bought from the States and also preferred the US card art.
