Another reason why you should still check it out still, I just went into a TRU (Vic Park and Lawrence) that sells alot of Joes and the clerk just found another box of RoC figures sitting it the back. I got another Kamakura, Charbroil, Arctic SE. I left the others from that wave for others.
The one thing that amazed me about this TRU is that they had more Cover Girls then Neo-Vipers?!!!

I just came back from TRU at Markville Mall to see what else I can buy.... I was bored so I reorganized the RoC Joes. I put all the same figures on each peg. The top 3 pegs are Neo-Vipers about 30+ left so don't all rush to pick them up!
I imagine the store managers commenting as they watch the footage of you rearranging the aisles: "Yep, there goes a fine trooper" they'd say.

Whitby still has a few Dr. rex's, arctic snake eyes, etc. I grabbed a few storm shadows there. the girl who was working let me know that the clearance prices would be on until they clear out the figs. She said they have a new line coming out soon so they need the space! ...can't wait!
I hope that is true... or should I say TRU.... sorry I could not resist.

PS - all I saw really were collection 1 waves 3 & 4 - minus any Kamakuras or the variants (ie. white Rex or unmasked SS). Assuming they were cherry-picked by staff already.

I just bought another 10 figs, and was about to post the same thing you said! TRU must have a great deal with Hasbro as they keep restocking RoC figs.
Post by: Propergrounds on September 25, 2010, 06:03:57 PM
bought 12 more...Arctic threat ss, desert viper,jungle ripcord,ice viper,city strike se,.
As long as they keep restocking them, I will keep buying them.
Right now I have 4 big bins of MOC ROC.
Cant...stop...need...help...

I did scout a Zellers as well and found the various Target sets ( Snake Armour etc ) for their regular price AND a single Sigma Six Long Range figure still on the pegs. Crazy.

I know what you mean... I did a count and I bought 81 figures during this sale... I'm thankful my wife does not check my posts. I will do my best not to buy more then 100... I hope

dang Im going to have to check the TRUs out and look for more custom fodder, even though I havent customed in months lol.
That is why i bought so many as well. I hope that one day I can make custom figures that are worth all the trouble I'm spending searching for parts...

Yes, I partook of 5 of the figures, for kit-bashing and assorted other pleasantries.

Another RoC restock... Will we ever see the end of them...
Are you guys seeing all the waves restocked? I'm only seeing the Rex wave, the PP SE wave, the Kamakura wave, and wave 5 (CS SE).
No Helix/crimson/pit commando wave as i've seen.

Jungle Assault Ripcord
City Strike Duke
Masked COBRA Commander
Arctic Snake-eyes
Baroness
Charbroil
Red Fang Ninja
Ninja Commando Snake-eyes
and the Doctor.
... and again this was where there were NO Joes on the pegs at the visit just prior--certainly not some of these figures, so it looks like a shipment came in and was placed on the pegs.
So it looks like this is a chain-wide effort to clear out the stock on hand, and usually......they do that when they want to make space for incoming product.
We'll see though.

Went to the Big TRU at Victoria Park and Lawrence and boy did they restock. They put 10 cases of RoC Wave 3 figs. I thought I would never say this but they have more Kamakuras then Neo-Vipers!
Yeah I saw that today as well. CHEEZSUS!!! TRU will never get POC at this rate.
Picked up a PP SE, CS SE and a couple of Kamakuras.

I had to get mine from HasbroToyshop.com as they never came here.

Got mine on HTS as well. I like both the black and white coat ones. I wish TRU has the White Coats on for cheap, they would be great custom fodder.

Went to Markville Mall TRU and all Figs were gone, even the Neo-Vipers! The only thing they had left were the TRU exclusives that are still 9.99 each. I hope that PoC is coming soon...
which exclusives?
Post by: NeoDragonKnight on October 31, 2010, 02:11:35 AM
Did you also notice the Water Moc was on sale too Band? But the price was like almost exactly the same as before? something crazy like 30 bucks, cant remember.

I'm guessing TRU isn't going to stock PoC. I'm sure they would have by now.
Checked 2 differents TRUs this week. They don't have anything even resembling Joes and no space set aside. If they are planning on stocking PoC, it looks like it might be after the holidays, maybe with wave 4?

I fear this may be true. Maybe they'll consider stocking for 2011.

I talked to a couple TRU clerks (two different TRUs) yesterday and they both told me that they are unsure if PoC is coming at all.
Well, I asked a friend who works at TRU if he could check in the system and he couldn't find any sign of any new GI Joe stuff in the computer. So it looks pretty grim from the TRU side. Maybe in the new year...
My local TRU still has a few pegs worth of RoC stuff. Not goin anywhere it seems!
Post by: Vortex on November 27, 2010, 10:00:16 AM
Looks like Zellers and Walmart are gonna get a lot of their business!
TRU at Victoria Park & Lawrence NO figures, and only Snake Eyes/Street Vipers and TRU Copperhead/Swamp Vipers for vehicles.
Lots of TRON tho...why?

I bought $20 worth to put in the toy drive bin. I hope it gets a couple kids excited about G.I. Joe

on a side note I bought a Cobra Commander for myself. The first ROC CC I bought had the chest holes for the pipes that it was supposed to come with. The one I bought last night has the holes plugged (the only reason I bought it was because it was a variant)

If one store restocked, they all probably did.
I hope so... If we can't get PoC from TRU, At least we have $3 RoC to make up for it!
