Someone from the Argyle location said he would not be putting them out until July 10 as he did not want to pay the fine....I told him the release date has been moved up the 4th (not sure if that mattered to him though).

Note that this is different than what is at walmart. Looks like the assortments went to different chains...
Possibly to make us visit and purchase from different chains. From what I've been told all TRU's (Canadian) are going to be stocking the ROC in the next week or two and then putting up the Headquarters for Heros display with exclusives around the 22nd of July.

Notice where there was a bit of a hole around where the remaining combat heroes were that were just stuff moved from other pegs. I think that that's where they were.

Scratch Destro from that list.
Speaking of Destro, any else read his file card. What a pile of crap. His face was burned and he uses nano tech to repair his flesh but the side effect is it leaves his face silver (or something like that, cards not in front of me right now).
What's next, Spider man's web shooters will be built into his body? Oh yeah.....

They have a whole end cap full of vehicles, 12 inch figures, toys for kiddies and about 10 rows of 3 3/4 inch figures. It's packed full. They set it out last night. When I hit it this morning they were still putting prices on it.
Tons of vehicles as well. They had 4 smaller vehicles, the night raven, the Cobra SUV and probably some stuff I'm forgetting about. This was a total flash back to being a kid again.

You can always buy them cheaper at the other store and take those back to TRU with the receipt (within 30 days I believe).

Not yet. There was 2 waves. The one with Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, Destro, Baroness, etc and the wave with "Ripcord", Heavy Duty, Shipwreck, Zartan, etc...
BTW, the new Vipers look like junk IMO. Haven't seen the Ice Viper so he might be cool, but the ones I've seen just suck.

TRU London has a display out but none of the rarer figures are left. No Helix, Crimson Vipers, Elite Vipers or Ice Vipers. Very expensive vehicles but no Pit. :(
I don't think that TRU has received Collection 1 Wave 2 yet. Someone had found them at Wal~Mart but a lot of Wal~Marts seem to be sticking to the original street date. Hopefully that wave will be easier to find in a week or so.
Post by: Kronz on July 06, 2009, 04:21:49 PM
The other day at Wal-mart I found the Ice Viper/CC wave but that seems to be a much smaller case asst than the big ones we should be seeing at TRU. Going by the cases Small Joes has up, that's my guess anyway.

Toys'R'Us keeps restocking with C1W1 & C2W1.

I haven't checked a Sears store in a long time. You never know what you might find there.
Once the movie is out we'll hopefully start to see things move a little quicker.

I guess what's really bugging me is that some of the figures we've not got here already seem to be removed from forthcoming assortments in the states. It is also frustrating to consider ordering cases in from the US because I'd end up paying a fair bit more than Canadian retail per figure if customs hit me. Oh well, I can be patient. My real complaining will start if (when?) Canadian Wal-mart passes on the ROC exclusives... On that note, will Canada see TRU exclusives in stores?

Kitchener Toys'R'Us was pretty picked over thanks to the sale, but they restocked this morning with even more of these waves.
Yeah, I was there on Saturday around 3 - 4 in the afternoon and all they had left has the vipers, Snake Eyes, and a few battle suit Heavy Duty figures. there was maybe 6 - 8 pegs worth. Then a guy brought out about 6 more cases and I helped him unpack them. It was all wave 1 again but at least the rack was full when I left.
So yeah, the sale is going well. Walmart was pretty picked over as well.

The single figures are about half gone again at Kitchener TRU this morning. There is hardly anything left other than Destro, Breaker, or Snake Eyes. The selection is very poor at both Wal~Mart and Toys'R'Us.

The single figures are about half gone again at Kitchener TRU this morning. There is hardly anything left other than Destro, Breaker, or Snake Eyes. The selection is very poor at both Wal~Mart and Toys'R'Us.
This is very good news. Lots of kids getting Joe, and lots of kids that will want MORE Joe going forward.

Sales have definitely taken off with the recent sale and release of the movie. Hopefully the kiddies are getting hooked and keep buying them up.
The one thing that does NOT seem to be selling at all is the Night Raven (at least around here). $50 is a tough pill to swallow outside of a birthday or Christmas present I guess.

I'd gone with the intent of just getting Neo-vipers, who at $5 each is sweet. Not so sweet at any higher price.
Anyone know when they will be getting in the new stuff? I don't care about sale prices, I just want more of the extant figures to show up in Canada.

Same old @ Cambridge Wal~Mart this morning. 48 figures remaining and still $5.00 each.
I went to my TRU yesterday to pick up some Vipers for cheap and the price promo was over. So I left with nothing.

In other W-M news, some joker must have returned some of their collection, I found an American carded 25th Viper which had obviously had a price tag removed from it hanging in Fanshawe Wal-mart. I had to buy it, but I laughed. I can't imagine how or why Viper ended up there, but I love that figure so another was welcome to me.

One of my wal-marts already sent back the GI Joe display and all the vehicles. All that is left is literally dozens of Baroness and Destros at 9.99. Not looking good.
Same with my walmarts/TRUs, destros and neovipers. But I dont think its a bad thing, means it sold well. Hopefully the next waves will come in soon before the Christmas rush.

Neo Vipers are just odd looking and I don't care to have more then one of them. For me it's the head on them that ruins the character.

I saw the ice dagger and dragonhawk at zellers and wm here in quebec, so I don't think the boat has been missed.
However, you are going to be dissapointed with the fig. The shoulder and elbow rivets are green, which looks odd since the jacket is white (the ankles are also green, and boots are black). I thought a prototype was mistakenly put in, but then I saw another and it looks like they are all like that.

Isn't it just a repaint Ice Sabre from the DTC line? Had the figure not had the flaws I mentioned above, I maybe would have picked it up, since the figure design is neat, though I'm indifferent about the vehicle. But the green shoulder and elbow rivets just stick out like a sore thumb since the jacket is white. After I saw another one and realized they were all going to be this way, that's what made me put it back on the shelf.

It feels to me like it means W-M has no faith in these Joes and won't bother with the later waves if they are already clearing out figures for $5. Anyone know if this $5 move is anything other than a fast clearance?
They did the same same with ROTF Deluxe class figures. They sold them at $11.97 (instead of $15,97) for a little over a month. I think it's more of a way to entice people to buy the figures at Wal~Mart in hopes that those same customers will also buy the more expensive vehicles and such from them as well.
And I should add, if this was clearance I wouldn't expect to see so much space dedicated to G.I. Joe in their fall modular. They would have crammed this stuff into the flex space.

Argyle has almost all of C1 in stock at 5 bucks as well as a Cobra Commander, saw a Pit on the floor (literally, sitting on the floor) ten hours later it was missing
White Oaks has one Breaker at 5 bucks.
Fanshawe has one Baroness and I think I saw a Destro for 5 bucks.

I get it. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are popular figure, but I'm getting sick of seeing Roc V1 versions of them. ay to make future peg warmers there Hasbro. If anything this wave should have more army builders. The Neo Viper was ugly, but Ice Viper and Desert Vipers look good and will sell. Give us more of those.

Cambridge Wal~Mart had 3 cases of C2W3 and 1 case of C1W1 out this morning.
Waterloo Wal~Mart had 3 cases of C2W3 out as of about half an hour ago.
Fairview Mall Wal~Mart had 3 cases of C2W3 out late yesterday afternoon.
So there should eventually be plenty of this wave out there for everyone. It won't be long that we'll be complaining that these figures are warming shelves and holding up newer product!

I grabbed Desert Ambush Scarlett, as I've only yet seen it once else, and another PP SE to keep on the card. It was kind of annoying to find out I probably had opened a variant to fool around with, thinking I'd never find him again. Thankfully Hasbro is really moving along with these figures, at least at Wal-Mart.
Also at Fanshawe I saw another Crimson Hydra, only the second I've seen in London. No Dragonhawk or Ice Sabre.

The vehicle I have to wait for clearance on is the Night Raven. I want one (or more) but at fifty bucks it's just too much, especially considering it is pretty undersized. I am not gonna hold my breath on the good ROC figures clearancing, but I would say it's a safe bet that the majority of the vehicles end up cheap in the end. I just wish Hasbro would have made vehicles for the movie that were as uniformly impressive as the figures. Months before the movie I assumed I would pass on the line altogether, and I here I am now, almost preferring ROC to the 25th stuff.
