Guelph Walmart Vehicles and Viper wave
« on: August 21, 2008, 11:11:50 PM »
Full case of the Viper wave, and all four vehicle packs as of tonight (thursday). All on American card. I pulled an Ethan and faced the aisle for them, the stuff was hidden all over the shelves.

Which is the Viper wave? We need a better standard for Joes/Wave identification...

There is one, but I don't know it. It had the Hiss Driver in it, and was the last one on 25th packaging card.

I was there a few hours ago. All that I saw left was one Viper on a US card.

Well, my going to my local walmart EVERY DAY has kind of paid off.

I got there today, and 2 vehicles were there. THey weren't there yesterday.

Got another HISS Tank, and the Armadillo/Serpentor set. No VAMP or Trouble Bubble/Ram, which of course are the 2 sets I *really* want.

Just as a curiosity, they were stocking the area when I was there, so I asked the "associate" if they had any more. She told me that she just put them out.. to which I said, "So someone beat me to the other 2" and she said "Nope. Those 2 are the only ones we got in".

So it would seem that the 4 do not come in a single case, rather that the HISS and Armadillo/Serpentor sets come in 1 case, and the VAMP and Trouble Bubble/RAM sets come in another.

The Hasbro (US) cases I've seen have 1 of each vehicle.
Would Hasbro Canada send out something different?

My guess would be that Hasbro Canada is splitting the cases up in order to get product to more stores.

I saw the HISS Tank & Armadillo Vs Air Chariot sets today at SunRise Center Wal~Mart so it does seem like they're breaking up the cases.  Desperate times I suppose! :)

I wonder when the other half of the split cases will show up, or where they were sent to...  I like the HISS, but I want to find another Trouble Bubble pack.

Guelph has one of the most beautiful down town areas I've ever seen, plus I hear Raptors live there now.  :wink:
