Title: Single Assortment: Wave 7 2008 in ONTARIO
Post by: Pete The Greek on December 09, 2008, 02:03:28 PM
Wave 7 2008 (or 25th Wave 11) is out.  The wave consists of Sgt. Airborne, Cobra Eel, Flint, Scarlett, Specialist Trakker and Zartan.

I have found them this week at a Wal-Mart in Toronto and Oshawa.

These are now hitting walmarts. Found the wave in the GTA. Only one case on the pegs though.

I was at a Windsor Zellers and found a Bazooka soldier. It was the only 25th single card I could see. I walked the aisle two or three times to try to find any sign of another single card and finally found a parka Snake Eyes that had fallen behind some shelved Transformers. So they're in Windsor and they're selling like hot cakes.

I also also mention the distribution for this wave has been a hit and miss.  Some of the Wal-Marts I have been this week have been re-stocked with wave 10 instead of wave 11.  At least I finally found a freaking Mutt, after a month of searching.

I just got the entire wave at Walmart in east London (Argyle) but the White Oaks store was overflowing with them! Also...I found a Croc Master with the current wave on the back. What the hell? It's by far the coolest 25th I've picked up yet. Was this available earlier? I missed out on any of them pre-November as I had no idea they were out. I'd given up on Joes after the lazy Toys R Us repaints early in the decade. But now...wow I am hooked again. Sucks about Canada being left out so much though. I am from the States and was spoiled for years by TRU down there.

Found these in the GTA as well. Picked up Zartan and Eels. Left behind Matt Trakker, Cobra Flint, Para-Trooper, and two Bazooka Troopers. I really wanted an Eels on an American Card but given the dollars mighty dip that won't happen anytime soon. Do you guys think wave 10 will restock? I've given up trying to pick up an American Mutt & Junkyard so I'll have to find a Canadian one.

I found Wraith and snow Snake Eyes today in north London. All the W-M in London are pretty well stocked if you need some of this wave. North had scads of Croc Master and Tiger Force Duke as well.

But if you do end up in London you have to go to Heroes, they have probably 50-75 of the 25ths most on USA cards. I am feeling really guilty buying so many before Christmas for myself, but greed is getting the better of me. I am letting my wife give me all the comic-packs for Xmas at least...

They've had this wave in at Herooes in London already.  All that was left was an Eel.

Heroes restocked. I think the only ones I didn't see from the recent wave was Zartan. They had tons of 25th USA guys too.  Now if you're in London, Argyle Walmart is your best bet. However, London isn't close to much of anything so I don't know how much help that will be for you guys.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up a full set minus Zartan as they were sold of of him.

I'm surprised how much I like the Flint Cobra figure. I put the Cobra Head on and I'm calling him my Cobra mechanic.

now if I come across some EELs in the wild I'm definitely going to have to break the bank and pick them up.

Hit every Walmart on the 401 from downtown Toronto to Guelph on Friday (was christmas shopping for something else), and found nothing but Hisses and Armadillos, anywhere.

Guelph is loaded down with the last 2 waves. I don't think we'll be getting anything any time soon. Still there's over a dozen BATS on the pegs at the Walmart...  :o

You gotta love G.I. Joe fans. 

I was in the mall yesterday (Markville) and Wal*Mart had this wave in what looked to be two cases.  BTW this Wal*Mart has sucked for G.I. Joe product but because of xmas they have really stepped up their game in getting this stuff in - but I digress.

Everything was there, Everything - in doubles - except EELS.  Some smart consumer cleaned out all the EELs (which I'm assuming was two, based on the assortments) and left everything else.

Ironically, if I had gotten there first, I would have done the exact same thing! LOL

Cambridge Wal~Mart had 6 cases of this wave out this morning.  Unfortunately they were just thrown all over the shelves, but you should be able to find what you're looking for there.
Fairview Mall  Wal~Mart had two cases, minus the EELS.

wha? Fairview Mall has a Wal*Mart???  Is this the one with the rather upscale Moxies??

I haven't been to Fairview Mall in years because they didn't have a Wal*Mart and TRU, when did Wally get in there?!?!

EDIT:

Okay you guys must be talking about a different Fairview, because this mall (http://http://www.fairviewmall.ca/store/index.ch2) sure doesn't have Walmart or TRU

So I went up to Guelph WalMart and holy jeebus! 12 full pegs literally busting out all over the place. I couldn't sort through them without knocking a bunch off. Lots of everything there. Now I know why Brantford doesn't have anything...it all goes to Guelph!

Thank you for proving I'm not lying about this stuff. ;-) Guelph seems to get a lot of product in.

Is this stuff selling through? I'm curious.

Yes, and strangely whenever I post here, the next time I drop by, the stock drops by half. :lol:

I was a little worried that this mass influx of the latest wave was going to prevent us getting the next, but even the hiss tanks sell there eventually, so I don't see them having any trouble emptying out those pegs by the next available wave...

Still three pegs worth (about 25-30 figures) at Cambridge Wal~Mart.  Everyone was there except for Zartan and EELS.

I swear, they must have had ten cases delivered to Walmart today.  I counted six (that's right, 6) pegs FULL of GI Joes - some older waves, but a lot of this one.  Weird thing about it was they didn't lump the pegs all together... they were spread out, dotted amongst all the other action figures.  You'd think with enough inventory to warrant 6 pegs, they'd try to fit them all together neat and tidy.  Bah.

Hello,

My local walmart as of Christmas sold out of all 25th figures and over stocked on the two non selling vehicles (hiss and serpantor packs). Not sure if anyone else has noticed this at there walmarts but mine has completly replaced the 25th figures with combat heroes. They have about 8 pegs of them and the 25th stickers and pegs have been removed or stickered over. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come as I personally have no intrest in combat heroes.

Regards
