storm.shadow's post near the bottom. Canadian packaging on the left, US on the right. My sympathy to Canadian MOC collectors.

Thanks for pointing me to the pictures.

OMG its so...blank! Better than not having them at all, I guess, but still...
I hope they'll pop at TRU too.

By the way did they have plenty of figures in store or just a case?
I already have wave 5, but I wouldn't mind a few extras  :spidey:

Merci de l'info!
One case? They're probably all gone by now then...
Not worth going to Wally fight with all the large arse that hang there just to find empty peg hahaha

No 25th at the Decarie WalMart.

Could this mean that only one case showed up in Montreal?

Weird indeed, but would it be that surprising?

Ok now i asked both walmart and zellers in my home town in st-hyacinthe to scan the UPC code I have from the wave 5. And both told me that there was 8 of them coming in the next 2 weeks. So only one case, but zellers has them in their computer, so good news. I'll try TRU st-bruno tonight

You're being a huge help, Prince de Lu! On behalf of all Quebec-based GI Joe fans, thank you.

If Zellers gets the single packs, they get my business.  Screw Wal-Mart.

ok I scanned the code at TRU in anjou. The guy told me that it was a long time since he received that (?) obviously he didn't know what he was talking about, but at least they were in the computer. So Zellers, WM and TRU will probably have single carded figures in the next weeks

Thanks for the update.

The real question is will they actually stock them in quantities to at least somewhat fill demand.  A single case just doesn't cut it.  One or two collectors and it's gone until the next one shows up in 2 months.

100% agree. Zellers in Canadian. Mind you, if Walmart drops the price to $5.00 a figure then I'll admit I'll pick up custom fodder from them.

Isn't HBC owned by Zucker, an American?

That's right.  HBC controlling shareswere bought out by an American a few years ago.

I picked up my figures the Sunday that passed at Zellers in Dorval, they had a bunch I picked up Sneak Eyes, Flash and the comic 2 pack with Hawk and Scarlett, but what was left was Snow Job, Shipwreck, Cobra Commander, Destro and Crimson Guard. I wanted to get more but the wife and Kids wanted food so I went back on Tuesday and they only had 1 Cobra Cammander :cobra: left I realy wanted to pick-up Snow Job. I think Im F@#$@ I want to get a DUKE were in all of Montreal am I going to find a DUKE that was in Wave 1?
