Title: Single Assortment: Wave 4 2008 Revision 2 @ Wal~Mart
Post by: Storm.Shadow on October 04, 2008, 09:55:24 AM
Looks like we'll be getting at least some of the revision cases on Canadian cards.

I found left overs of a single case at Cambridge Wal~Mart.  The assortment includes:

    * 1x Snake Eyes
    * 1x Destro (Iron Grenadiers)
    * 1x Crimson Guard
    * 1x Wild Bill
    * 1x Spirit Iron Knife
    * 1x Cobra Commander (MASS Device)
    * 1x Python Patrol Cobra Officer
    * 1x Tiger Force Flint

Are these the same figures just repackaged?  Or is there a paint variation to them.  My wallet hopes for a repack.

I didn't look them over closely but I would suspect they are straight repacks.  At most there would be slight improvements in the molds used.

Probably just the re-packs that were announced a few months back.  Good news, though...  Maybe a first-run Flint will show up.  I've got Flint, Firefly, Rock N Roll and the Snake Eyes/Timber left on my list of guys to find, and if the re-packs are coming out, I might have an easier time.

Flash has gotten the re-package treatment as well.

Cool, did you find it at Wal~Mart?  I have to try to track one down now!

Yup, Wally- Mart is where I found it.

Thanks for the tip!  I was able to find a Flash figure at Sunrise Center Wal~Mart in Kitchener this afternoon.  I left behind a Snow Serpent and BAT if anyone is looking for them.

I saw Flash, this morning.  Thought that was pretty cool.  Would have gotten a Black Snake Eyes, if he was there - but I was lucky enough to find a BAT and Snow Serpent to pick up.

On a related note, they took away the GI Joe peg, at my Walmart...  instead they're putting them wherever  there seems to be a free peg.  Right now, they're "Pokemon Singles" for $12.99.  If some kid thinks they're $12.99, it's possibly the reason they're not moving.  That kind of sucks.

I've been finding them just thrown on the shelf (sometimes the floor) more and more.  Even though there is a peg for them.  I pick them all up and put them in their proper spot but it's quite funny just how lazy some of the workers can be.  I can understand a kid that not putting something back in it's place but for the staff to just dump the box on a shelf is pretty sad.

Spotted two sets of the above today at my local Wal-Mart.  I only picked up a Crimson Guard, Destro and Snake Eyes.

I think Walmart in my town got their re-supply...  there were two pegs literally overflowing with Joes.  They had to hang them on the upper price bar of the peg. 

I saw two each of Destro, Flash, Snake Eyes and all the earlier figures in that wave.  Plus, another set of the Bazooka, Hawk wave.  Bought a BAT and Snow Serpent...  I couldn't help myself.

Two TRUs in my area have also received the revision wave.

Guelph WM has 4 pegs filled with joes, and got even more Hisses and Armadillos. Lots of BATS...
