Title: Wave 3 Alphas now at WINNERS!!!
Post by: bandonov on June 16, 2010, 09:09:03 PM
I wen to three different Winners and found the Wave 3 Alphas for sale.  They were going for $12.99 but if your Walmart is always sold out check out your Winners!  They had Bravos for $19.99 as well.  But the main reason to go to Winners is that they have 25th Anniversary figures for $4.99, OMG!!!

The 3 stores I went to were:

McCowan and Milner Road - they had 2 Snow Serpents and Storm Shadow (GI Joe version) for figures I took the Firefly... They had for Bravos was 1 Dragonhawk and Crimson Hydra... Alphas were Desert Rockslide and Tiger Claw

Markville Mall - They have 2 Flints wave 1 for figures I took the Sgt. Stalker for pdaat...No Bravos... Alphas were Lava Pod and Tiger Claw

Stouffville (Hoover Road) - No 25th figures and Bravos... 1 complete set of Wave 3 alphas

I will be hitting more stores tomorrow

Are the 25th figures the cartoon/comic back cards or the foil ones? Cheers for any info.

The ones I have found are Non-foil Amercian cards.

Bravo Vehicles are at $19.99 same as Zellers... Not a great deal but if your Walmart does not have it....

I think Toronto Winners got a few cases of Joes and just sent a couple of random figures to different stores, Gerrard Square got Flint, Beachhead and one set of Alpha.

Just remember guys at last years Joe Con most of these figures were $5 each (which is cheaper than retail), and I'm thinking this year they just might be cheaper!

I hope that dealer is back as well so I can try to find the last few 25th ann. figures that I'm missing...

Post by: garling23 on June 25, 2010, 04:48:13 PM
Went to few Winners in my area today.  picked up a dragon hawk (19.99) at the pickering winners (Brock)  they had the alpha wave 3 (12.99) aswell as a few ROC figs for 6.99.  Went to the ajax one aswell and there is a dragon hawk there aswell that I left, plus the alpha 3 and ROC Figs.  While at the whitby winners I found the ROC figs with 2 different prices. some were 4.99 and some 6.99.  Picked up a ROC Flash for my son to have as he always asks to get that one and finally found it... for cheap! Did not see any 25th aniversary and at any of these winners!

.. hit the Scarborough Winners (McCowen &401).  what a mess...  toy dept. was a write off.   they had a few ROC figs scattered about (the usual mix storm shadow, baroness, etc.) there was a Dragon Hawk there aswell and I left it behind.  I did find a 25th Aniv. Flint (Cartoon Series)  I was not looking forward to finding this one as I have the box set that included Flint and figured it wasa the same figure.  Clearly I was wrong in my thinking and found this one to be quite different... so I picked it up aswell.  I usually only collect vintage 80's joes and vehicles but these do look pretty good

You are so right, I only bought the 25th ann. figures while I was waiting for PoC.  Now I almost have them all... and it has been only 3 months. :lol:

Winners at Markville Mall dropped the price of RoC BRAVO vehicles to $16.99.  They had 2 Dragonhawks and 2 Crimson Hydras in stock.  The Wave 3 Alphas are still $12.99
Title: Re: Wave 3 Alphas now at WINNERS!!!
Post by: BHMike on July 01, 2010, 05:48:07 PM
FYI I was in Winners in Woodstock last weekend - NO Alpha items at all. NO 25th items.

Some ROC figures - that Crimson Neo Guard, Baroness, and others.  6.99 each

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.
Title: Re: Wave 3 Alphas now at WINNERS!!!
Post by: bandonov on September 03, 2010, 01:51:55 PM
The Winners at McCowan and 401 still has the Wave 3 alphas in stock.  They had the Lava Pod, Desert Rockside and 2 Tiger Claws left.

Still finding the odd RAH at Winners. Saw some Bazooka Troopers a few days ago. Not sure if these were just sitting in the back or are still trickling out to stores...

Same here. In the last 2 weeks I've seen a B.A.T. (bought it) 3 Arctic Snake Eyes (passed), 2 Wraiths (passed on them). Iron Grenadier/Viper 2 pack (bought it) and 2 Armour Cobra Commander/Gung Ho 2 packs (passed).

Post by: K.B. on October 19, 2010, 04:23:49 PM
He's going to love them (Mutts a cool character and an even cooler figure  ;D)

just wish they would put out some of the singles and two packs I missed. 20 + bucks for a 2 pack is steep but 12.99 isnt to bad.
Title: Re: Wave 3 Alphas now at WINNERS!!!
Post by: bandonov on October 19, 2010, 08:12:06 PM
The Winners at Markville Mall still has the Wave 3 Alphas and they have been reduced to $10 each.  They had 3 of the 4, just missing the polar sharc.
Title: Re: Wave 3 Alphas now at WINNERS!!!
Post by: vancleef9000 on October 20, 2010, 01:02:50 PM
Winners is carrying 25th again and not just a smattering of figures, lots and lots of figures. The Winners I was just at had at least two or more of each: Eels, Flint Cobra, Scarlett Pilot, Zartan, Cobra Paratrooper, Airborne and maybe a couple of other figures. All Winners probably won't get the same cases but looks like 25th is back.

Hurray! Just in time for Christmas, 2 year old stock.

If they are $3.00 or less then maybe.

Thanks for the info update!

they are $5.99 each, still not bad IMO. They had Matt Tracker as well, which is a total "doh" about forgetting on the list because he's the only one I actually bought.

Just at the Winners at Markville Mall and they reduced the price of the Wave 3 Alphas to $8.  They only had the Tiger Claw and Lava Pod.  They also got a lot of the RoC figs but they are at $5.  They also had Venom Vs Valour!  But at $12.99 not sure if that is worth it.
