Hasbro Canada sent a note last night to let us know that Zellers has dropped the prices of some of their exclusives (Target exclusives).

One example is the RHINO has dropped from $79.99 to $49.99

The new prices are effective now.

Good news I guess, but that price for the Rhino still makes me cringe

They drop the price of the Rhino by 37.5% so if you take the same precentage the Serpent Armor should be $18.75?

The problem is they are dropping it by percentage but their original price point was so insanely high the percentage drop isn't bringing their prices down to a reasonable level...

I think they are all MOC and have not been "felt"  :lol: :P

You can always pick some up and send them to me and I can touch them and mail them back to you!!  ;D ;D ;D

Seriously, I saw them but didn't realize the price...too bad.

I've seen the Rhino at 49.99$ at a couple of Montreal area Zellers. Personally, it will have to drop at least another 15-20$ for me to even start thinking about picking one up. The other exclusives, the 4-pack and deluxe figures, were still scanning at 34.99 and 29.99 respectively. No surprise, the shelves are overflowing with all of these. If the deluxe figures ever came down to a respectable price, say 10-12$, I would pick up a few more SNAKE armors and a Jet Pack or three.

I wonder why Zellers isn't lowering the price faster. I would think that with the Christmas reset already starting they would need to free up that shelf space. They're still swimming in Transformers exclusives too. That's a lot of real estate that could be put to better use.

Hey, I got an email from you guys saying Zellers was reducing Rhino prices? Well I`m in Montreal and it`s still 70+$, if that`s a sale price they can suck it. Zellers is the worst Joe seller on the continent. Ive been talking to Americans and there getting for under 20$. The big Canadian merchant cartel has been ripping Canadians off for centuries. Boycott them when you can. Buy from small business, over the internet or trade if at all possible.

I was just at the Zellers at Ceadabrae Mall (Markham and Lawrence) and they finaly set the Rhino at $49.99 but they had more items on sale.  Figures were scanning at $3.49 and they also had the 25th Ann 5 Pack on sale for $12.49, they have 5 left.

Well at least someone is finding a sale at Zellers, those figures are twice that much here. Get your fill bandonov, you lucky bugger  :wink:
but even 50$ for a rhino is too much nvm 79.99$ plus tax like there generously offering us here.
and 5h4rk I don`t get your Bonimart joke, probably cuz I`m fairly new to Quebec.

I did not buy the 5 packs yet, I will on Monday if they are still there.  With Bonimart, it was a loved retailer that was taken over and had it's name changed to Zellers...rest of Canada knew it as Towers.

Oh, typical corporate takeover turning something good into crap.
Well hopefully those figure prices come to Montreal. So I don`t have to go to Signapore (via ebay) like I did for my Baroness. Pretty ridiculous eh, Shipped half-way around the world and it`s still half the price

I can confirm that the rhino dropped to 50$ in Sorel, but too late, after I bought it for 20$ at joe-con!

Even if the black snake was to drop in price, I don't think there's any left in any zellers I know of. Too bad. Here, the only pack remaining is storm shadow on his bike. Don't care for that one.
