Title: Wave 3 VvV in Canada
Post by: akpayne on June 13, 2004, 09:22:59 PM
Saw them today, they had all of them at WalMart for $9.97, they didn't have the Snow Wolf/ Bat V4.0 pack, instead it was the Duke/CC.

Any chance we will ever get the vehicles? Probably not.

The Wal-Mart in Square One still has racks full of wave 2. Meanwhile, in TRU, they have only six wave 2 pegwarmers for 12.99. Weird  :?

Is the Wal-Mart you're talking about in South Common Mall?

It was the WalMart just off the 401 at Winston Churchill.

They also had them up in Vaughn 7 & the 400.

Has anyone seen the Snow Wolf/Bat pack yet?  I am betting we don't get that one, or it will be so heavily bought up that the other items will just sit on the pegs forever.  :?

Nope. St. Catharines WalMarts still have wave 2

was at both WalMarts in hamilton (that I know of) and they had Wave 3, picked up a snow wolf/ bat pack finally - I think I am in the minority, but I really like the Snow Wolf/Snow Serpent figure - would army build if I could find him.

The bat is also in better colours, no more purple bike shorts!

Finally saw these in Walmart in Kitchener today. Looks like they had one case and somesome beat me to a few of the figures but I still managed to grab 1 of every figure and an extra set of the Jinx/Slice, Tunnel Rat/Electric Eel packs (to open). Thing that shocked me was the BAT/ Snow serpent pack that was still there. Must not have been a collector who got the other figures.

Already have 5 sets. going for 8 sets total.

Ah let the hoarding begin!
I think that a lot if this stuff is going to sit on the shelf while others (bat and snow serpent) are going to fly off the hooks as soon as they are stocked.

Yep. I swung by my Walmart the other day and lots of wave 3 except the Bat/Snow wolf pack. This worries me already because if we get peg warmers, we might not get the next wave, or even worse, we might miss wave 5 and that is a wave we don't want to miss.
I know it's asking a lot, but can we all try to not buy up all the army builders and save some for the kiddies, or at least if buying a lot of army builders, grad some of the other figure packs (peg warmers) at the same time to customize with. After seeing wave 5 figures at the con I'm totally excited for that wave so lets not rock the boat. It took forever for Canada to get new figures up here.

Since we have the main distributor of hasbro in canada now. things should hit the shelves alot sooner than previous waves did. that's good news because I need some new vehicals for my troops! I have too many troops now and not enough vehicals to move them around. Have you ever seen a crimson viper commander with his thumb in the air with a sign that says COBRA HQ OR BURST while looking for a ride, it's pretty sad.     :wink:

Holy Super Hero In Training, I found wave 3 in both Whitby TRU and Wal-Mart stores.  The TRU spotting shocked me (but not their higher prices).

Actually we've had the main distributor here for a while now. The mission disks, I think the single carded figure and waves like 7 and 8 came from Canada, but we never got those waves here. It might go back even further but I'm at work right now so I have no way to check.
