Title: POC Low Light in Canada??
Post by: Inzane on May 05, 2011, 10:45:58 AM
I'm getting a little discouraged.   I have yet to see any evidence of Low Light and his accompanying wave (Shadow Tracker, etc.) hitting shelves here.    At least as far as the Edmonton area goes.

Have others in Canada been finding them?   If so, what store chains are carrying them?   I'm starting to worry if I'm going to completely miss that wave.

Thanks.

I've only seen skydive twice I think (US), the other three I haven't seen at all.  I wonder if skydive was in a revision case.

Never seen this wave yet.

I did find a good deal on all season tires at least.  :-

I've only seen Lowlight once, at a Walmart here in Calgary. I've seen Skydive a couple of times, also at Walmart, so they are out there.

Shadow Tracker and the new Destro were not in the revision cases that shipped to the Walmarts, so you will probably only see those at comic or toy shops (not TRU... yet). I think the case breakdown was as follows:
Low Light x 1
Sky Dive x 1
Alley Viper x 1
Jungle Viper x 1
Storm Shadow PoC v1 (with all the ninja gear) x 1
Beachhead x 2
Snake Eyes PoC v3 (with the 2 heads and elastic webgear) x 2
Duke PoC v2 (with pulse rifle) x 1
Shock Trooper x 2

I still haven't found a Low-Light (or Shadow Tracker) in the wild here in Edmonton.

Does anyone have an extra one they could sell or trade for a reasonable amount?

Thx.

Shadow Tracker never made it into an assortment that was available outside of comic book and collectible stores, so online will be your best bet for him.

I thought I saw a Shadow Tracker at my Walgreen's.
I could trade him for an Iron Man 2 Mandarin figure (showing up at Winners) or a Heimdall figure from the Thor line. Or a Sif would do too.  ;D
I'm not sure if I want to trade my extra Low Light. I had planned on making a Slaughter's Marauders version.  :shifty:

I have him....Low Light is one of my all time fave Joes of the later 80's line. He is well worth the buy. I couldn't get him here in Newfoundland, HAD to order him online. I don't buy much of the new stuff but when I do I'm selective. I'm  HIGHLY recomending this as I think he is the best to come out of the POC line. (well the dessert snake rocks out as well)...When/if you get him becareful of the one loose slug that is in the ammo case...ehehe

I've got a spare if someone wants to buy or trade.  Paid 9.99 plus tax at my LCS.

if anyone is still looking for a Low Light start checking your local toysrus.  with the sale on this week it seems that they are stocking up on a mixed shipment.  low light is in the mix  .. mine only had 2 of him.  our tru had a half a centre isle bin full of joes.  you might need to dig is all im saying!
