Title: Hiss Scout & Cycle Armor up in Canada ?
Post by: duffmann on September 15, 2011, 12:36:41 PM

I have a few questions and am hoping to get some help.  What is the Canadian retail on these items.  I have seen $9.99 Canadian listed and $22.99 on different forums listed.  Also what are all the different stores carrying it?

Winners is a discount store and sells them for $9.99.

Zellers sells them for $22.99.

Very limited run and many stores only got one shipment of them. They can be a bit hard to find now.

Are you sure it's $12.99?  It was the POC Mechs that were $12.99 and the POC Alphas were $9.99.  I just got another set last week for $9.99 each.

Thanks much for the heads up guys I really appropriate it.  I got a set and paid $75 shipped.  I believe the person got them Zellers for the $22.99 and when you add taxes and shipping he probably broke even or made just a little bit extra.  I want to open them but with such a limited run and the price tag I am just going to leave them MOC.

to be honest the cycle armour is not all thar great open anyway.  the figure is kinda cool.  but the bike is kinda crappy.  the HISS scout is really nice though!

Glad to see I'm  not the only one.  Th Cycle Armour is definitely a big disappointment.

The Winners in Orillia had them clearly marked at $12.99.  They also had the Mechs for $12.99 as well.
