Zellers at Eglinton near Warden had the Ghost Hawk and Doom Cycle, and nothing else POC on the shelves yet.
-
FINALLY!!!! now we have to wait for TRU to wake up now.
-
i need some collectors to visit milton and clean all the roc out, i cant do it alone.
-
I hit a zellers while I was up there (and had a crazy hard time trying to get back on that highway afterward). It seemed the prices were higher there. Are their prices higher than the others (wal-mart, toys r us...)?
-
The one in Goderich still has a ton of RoC figures, the over priced vehicle packs, the Duke/Snake Eyes mission set, RHINO's and mole pods. The pegs still have the figures at the original 9 buck price point, it's pathetic.
Doubt there ever be any PoC figures.

I just went this Zellers, still have the PoC Alphas on the shelf. I check the toy skids they had on the floor and I saw a box of PoC mechs, still no sign of the figures.
-
Zellers in Barrie has Ghost Hawk, Doom Cycle, and Steel Marauder Mech Suit. No figures yet. (But about a dozen Arctic Base rescue Duke sets)
-
The Zellers at Cedabrae Mall (Markham and Lawrence) now has PoC on the shelf. They only had the Alphas $19.99 and the Mechs $24.99.
-
The Oshawa Centre Zellers had POC figs yesterday. almost missed them (anyone else having a hard time seeing these on the peg) looked all thought the ROC stuff and almost left before i noticed them. They had all figs from wave one. I picked up the Beach Head as I regreted not getting him at walmart, my son picked out snake eyes (like he doesn't already have enough of him) and snow job. price was $7.99 per fig. left an alley viper and a CC.

Yeah, I agree that these cards are HARD to see in the crowd of other product on the shelves. When I first found them at Walmart, I walked down the aisle and right past them--didn't even see them in the jumble--and my step-son found them. I literally find them by "feel" now........I walk a ways down the aisle, stop, turn toward the shelves and just sort of stand there for a minute sorting out what I see until I spot them--LOL!
I cannot imagine trying to spot them in the train wreck that is the usual Zellers toy department.
-
I LOVE the new cards for the joes, but agree, they are hard to see in the toy aisle. Especially with the avatar figures in a similar colour scheme. And at walmart, they are now making the boys toy sept with a blue back drop. Even more to blend in with.
-
lol, ya the Zellers Toy Dept. usually looks like its been though a riot and no one has taken anything. It over stimulates my entire body! I feel all out of sorts I just don't want to be there. However, can't leave as I need to go though everything to make sure I didn't miss anything!
-
Went to the Zellers at Birchmount and Eglinton, no figs out yet but both Alphas and Mechs are on display.
-
Masonville Zellers had a couple mechs.
-
Man TRU is really missing the boat on this stuff. by the time they get their stuff out all the kiddies will have their fill of Duke, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow so they are going to have tons of them warming the pegs.

Not to mention they'll probably be charging $9.99. Hopefully it won't affect their decision to bring in the exclusives.
-
i was beginning to think they probably didn't sell enough RoC that they didn't want to take the risk. Probably wrong but when your trying to clear out old stock at $3 I'd say they want them gone fast.
-
The current numbers we are seeing now seems more consistent with the 25th line at retail, very limited to maybe 2 pegs 1 or 2 cases for the entire wave and picked clean very very quickly. Makes me sad.
-
Even though I have not found an AV or FF from Wave 1, maybe Toys will get on board with wave 2 and the pegs will not be clogged with Wave 1 left overs.
-
The Zellers here in Goderich have some PoC stuff next to the RoC stuff, I grabbed another Cobra Commander and a 3rd Alley Viper, which was on a US card not the international one. Don't know about the others cause I didn't notice until I got home. They also had some Cycles and Ghost Hawks.
-
The PoC figs are now at the Zellers at Cedabrae Mall, the AV, FF and CC were gone already.
-
how much is Zellers charging for the figures?
-
Figs are $7.99
-
The one in Goderich has wave 2 bravo vehicles...they wouldn't scan...once again they put them out on the shelf before someone has scanned them into the system. :shifty:
-
Found the Wave 2 Alphas at the Zellers at Cedabrae Mall. They only had one of each available.

Same at Shoppers World (Vic. Park & Danforth) except they had 3 of each.
-
I was at the Zeller's in Orillia on Saturday.
They had all the wave 2 figures (except JV). I picked up Zartan, Recondo and Destro for son.
But they had ICE CUTTER. I am excited to get my hands on that one. I didn't see an Awe Striker, but I already got mine from Hal. So at least it is good news that the Ice Cutter's have landed here.
-
Picked up Zartan at the Zellers in Welland (Seaway mall).
-
Other sites say that Zellers has Wave 3 figs out, better check your local Zellers!
-
The Zellers in Orilla had 1 Awe Striker.
-
Finally, FINALLY, found my first wave 2 figs at Zellers. Found the remnants of a case and picked up 2 Destros, Zartan, and Dusty. The SEs were still there but the rest were gone. Still looking for 2 Jungle Vipers, 2 Recondos, another Zartan, and another Dusty.
-
Zellers in Goderich has wave 2 figures and alpha vehicles. Chatham has wave 2 figures.
-
Found wave 3 at Cedarbrae Zellers today. Only thing left was 2 of each except Shock Trooper (0 of him).

Damn, I was going to check that Zellers tomorrow... Did you check the Zellers at Birchmount and Eglington?

Don't know if you checked but Birchmount & Eglinton had nothing yesterday.

I did not get a chance, too busy at work to look during my lunch hour. Thanks for letting me know.
-
wave 3 figs found at the oshawa townline store. heres what they had:
3 shock troopers
2 snake eyes
3 dukes
4 storm shadows
grabbed 2 shock troopers, duke, and snake eyes.... my son really wanted anoother storm shadow so i let him pick it out. does not look all that great in the package. However, after he opened it up and we played with it for awhile i think its a pretty solid figure. great accessories as most of this line seems to have.
-
After visting 4 Walmarts and 2 Zellers. I was less than impressed with the results when it came to Joes on the shelves. 3 of the walmarts and 1 of the zellers didn't even have a space where Joes should be or go other than the expensive movie exclusives. The walmart that had Joes were a mix of wave 1 and 2 and it was in the States.
-
The distribution of these figures is beyond puzzling. They're forcing me to shop online again.
-
here in the durham/clarington regions it seems that the POC is not being pushed for christmas. Seems like star wars, wrestling figures, tron etc are stocked very well. guess its just not the year for it... my guess is without a major movie, tv show or video game it lacks the star power. even the new GI Joe renegades tv show is not matching up with the new toy line as far as characters go. I have yet to lay eyes on wave 2 vehicles at retail. I found wave 3 figs at a local zellers, but they had pegged them on the back of an isle with a bunch of random things. price stickers were stuck to the back of the cards.
-
Who is on this wave? I found Duke, Storm Shadow and Shock Troopers at a Zellers yesterday. I guess Snake Eyes is in this wave.
Still looking for a Recondo from wave 2.

I think it's just those 4 guys.
As for Recondo, you aren't missing much. Too much goofy gear can ruin a figure. :(

The thing I don't like about Recondo is his head can only be in the down position.

Which Zellers did you see them at? I've had no luck with Wave 3 at retail at all.... :'(
-
I have not seen them at retail either. I am assuming there is a peg warmer out of the wave (probably Snake Eyes or Duke).
Anyone know if these are showing up in the Buffalo area?
-
The wave 3 peg warmer is Storm Shadow
-
The wave 3 peg warmer is Storm Shadow
That's the one I passed on. :wink:
-
The trick with wave 1 & 3 Stormy is not to call him Storm Shadow! Just call them Desert and Snow Ninjas!

A better trick is to leave them on the shelf so that Hasbro gets the idea that we've had our fill on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow for at least a year. :wink:

I've only come across wave 2, someone on another board did say they found some at the TRU in the States.

But to be fair Out of the 3 POC Snake Eyes figures. only 1 sucks ;D
-
Saw wave 3 Duke and Storm Shadow at Zellers Pen Center the other day.
-
Just take a look at SS's eyes.. I think he has something in the a**! ;D
No seriously this is one of the badest version of Storm Shadow ever..

It was in Whitby.

finally found the ice cutter and the awe striker the other day. found both at the ajax zellers. very nice looking vehicles. my son got the doom cycle, the ghost hawk, and the hiss tank for christmas from santa ::) after busting them open and applying all the decals I was very impressed. other than the hiss tank. i find it to be a little difficult for him to use. it does not clip in very well and the tank treds altough cool looking, they don't move the greatest. otherwise it looks pretty cool. the other too were a little more impressive then what they looked like.
-

I think I read somewhere that the Black HISS Tank has those issues fixed

I have a black HISS and can say that the same problems persist.
-
Are the guns on the black hiss black or grey?
-

Ala Snake Eyes, everything, guns, missiles, bullet belt are all black. It's like Hasbro just ran the mold with one colour.
-
plenty of W3 SE, Duke and SS at Masonville Zellers, no more Shock Troopers that I could find (I found two); Highbury Zeller's down to a lone CC.

Crap. Now I want 2 of them.
-
Me too...
-
Zellers at 401 and Simcoe in Oshawa had 2 Dukes, 3 SS, 1 SE and 2 Shock Troopers (0 now). Still a few ROC exclusive packs for sale at $13.50 and 1 Rhino still at $50!!!!! C'mon Zellers knock down the price on these bad boys.
-
The Zellers at Cedabre mall put a case of the Wave 3 out. there was only 1 Shockie left. I hid it behind the Tron Figures, No one will find there. :lol:
I hid it from the scalpers.

Nobody wanted this Shockie? He was still there. I bought it for Hobbes, so he is gone now. Actually the Joe section looked untouched since I was last there.

I wish I was near that Zellers or I would have picked it up. Always nice to have tips though.

I appreciate the good vibes! After literally months of searching (when did these start showing up again?) I happened to be by the Centrepoint Mall Zellers and sure enough I found 3 Shock Troopers. Paid $8.99 but couldn't care less at that point.

That is GREAT NEWS! See what happens when you take your vitamins and eat your veggies, no wait that's not it...
That's why you keep hunting, eventually you will find them! +1
-
The Zellers at Cedabrae Mall (Markham and Lawrence) got the revision case they only had Beachhead left as I took the Alley Viper!
-
The Zellers at Cedabrae Mall had a fresh case of the revision wave on the shelf for the 25% sale. they had 2 Shockies and an Alley Viper and Jungle Viper for $7.49 each!
No luck on the Scout and Cycle yet, but I will keep looking!
-
found a weird assortment the other day at the pickering mall zellers while hunting for ashiko:
skydive x2
frosty destro x2
shockies x2
alley viper x1
bought one of the skydives for my son to open!
-
Not exactly POC, but rather ROC.
Three Zellers I hit up this weekend had dropped the ROC Rhino to $30.00 from $49.99. Some had the new yellow clearance sticker, one did not, so check the scanner to be sure.
Hopefully there will be another sale soon dropping the price below $20.00

Cool toy but I don't have room for the one I own. In fact, I'm now out of vehicle room, period. My new Sky Striker is sitting in the rec room just leaning against the wall. The new vamps are parked on top of my PS3. I really should take a picture some time time of my current set up...
-
Several Zellers I've been to lately have restocked the Hiss Scout and and the Cycle. If you missed out the first time (they were pretty sparsely released), hen you have another chance. Now bring on the 30th stuff Zellers!
-
Are they still priced 20?
-
I assumed they were the same price as before, but I didn't check because I wasn't interested in getting any more.
