I was able to confirm that the Rise Of Cobra 50% off sale is back on a Zellers. The sale runs through to April 22nd from what the in-store sales tags mentioned.
If you missed the sale last time around, now's your chance!
Note that it would seem the same exceptions apply. Target exclusives (except for the Conquest/Tiger Rat) are not part of the sale.

Oh sweet, I've been wanting another RHINO but not at 80 bucks. I'm going to stop on my way home and check it out. :wink:
See above on that point:

Since they brought back this sale, they really want to get rid of there stock. I hope this means that the new Joes are comming soon?!
I don't speak for Zellers (or Hasbro) on this, but typically when they have to do a 50% off sale to clear stock, they won't be quick to restock that item again.
Sales like this are good for the consumer, bad for the retailer and the product line.

I believe your are referring to Supply and Demand and I think you're right about it. Usually If the retail store believes there is no demand for the product, then restocking or size of orders are to be reconsidered.

Figures are now $6.99
Alpha Vehicles are now $9.99
they did not have a Bravo vehicle to verify the price so I will guess it is 14.99
Target exlusives from 25th Ann. are now $19.99
The RoC Target exlusives are not on sale :P

Last week I got a few figures from Zellers for like $2 each. As well some Combat Heroes for $1.50(love Firefly :)) and a Crimson Hydra for $10 from Walmart. Lots of sales right now.
$2.00 per figure? Never seen that sale. Where are you located?

In fact there's one in the east end that still has almost every joe item that was ever shipped to the store still on the shelves, including everything from the original case that came out pre movie and the 5 packs. No one ever shops there either.
Maybe they'll turn it into a Talese (sp?) which fits more in with the retail character of the area. :wink:

willow mall isnt it? corner of willow and silvercreek?
That is the one - or was at any rate.
All of the Star Wars and Transformers stuff is 50% off too for those that are interested. If you want to get that X wing that is in a box that looks like the rebel hanger, they have you hooked up.

I think the only ROC stuff anyone wants to hear about now is the target exclusives (if they drop in price) ;D
You got that right.

Zellers has a 40% off sale on clearence items. GI Joe with a yellow sticker is on sale. And no the Target Exclusives are still at regular price. I did not scan the Rhino to see if it was scanning lower then $49 but the others are still at $29.99.
Those darn deluxe figures are going to rot on the pegs before they decide to clearance them. What are they waiting for? ???

I scanned the Rhino, figuring that it may count as ''already reduced'' since the price came down to 50$ from 80$ a while back. Still scanning at 50$ >:(

This is the same as the x-wing and tie fighters. They reduced them but the reduced prices became their new regular price, as they don't show up in their computers as "reduced", even though they scan at the reduced price. Therefore, with no yellow sticker and nothing indicating in the computer, you can't argue these were reduced. As far as any employee would know, they were always at this price.
Also, the target RoC stuff has yellow stickers, but the yellow stickers are showing the regular price. It's a bit of a joke.
Thankfully their new star wars target exclusives are coming in at prices almost the same as the US. Seems they did learn from their mistakes, but they're being stubborn on the old stuff.

The plan is to keep a few zellers brand stores around and phase out others to make way for actual target stores in the spring. Wether this means the current zellers stock gets slashed even lower I'm not sure but best to keep a lookout.

It's about time... I know Zellers has a big name in Canada, but the stores have fallen from grace long time ago. I would totally support the store if they changed the name back to Towers and Bonimart! So Welcome Target.Yes, well... Will a mere name change suffice to get the employees to take better care of the toy section? :p

Time to really keep an eye out for the target exclusives because a number of zellers are on the way out and are being replaced by targets.I have read that Target is PREPARING to move into Canada and that they will open about 200 stores up here over the next 10 years or so, but the kicker is the first 6 to 10 stores would be open by 2014 or 2015.........so its a few years off yet.
