Title: Guelph Walmart Vehicles and Viper wave
Post by: Raptor 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.

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.

Post by: Stealth Viper on August 27, 2008, 02:00:20 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: Canuklehead on August 28, 2008, 02:59:39 PM: 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:

Post by: Raptor on August 31, 2008, 10:41:23 PM: 1 Hiss Tank, 1 Armadillo, 2 SE's and 1 Spirit left at Guelph Walmart as of today.

I looked at the hiss, but I just can't justify paying $20 for it.
