Haven't seen them at the Brossard TRU.  I thought we weren't getting them due to the tongue laws.  Have you checked/called Toy Wars to see if they have any?
Yeah, I was more counting on the Fairview TRU to maybe have a few, since they're in a more predominantly English area.

Last time I was at Toy Wars they just had the SRO packs in terms of TRU exclusives, that was shortly before Christmas.

I spoke to Steve at Toy Wars on thursday and he didn't have the battle stations.

Yeah, all he has is a loose Tripwire with just the laptop.


In other news, those Rip Attack vehicles are at the LaSalle Wal-Mart.
Not in the action figure aisle, but the Lego/Megabloks section perpendicular to all the other aisles, against the wall. They're very close to the backroom entrance.
16.92$ each.

Thanks Jay. I really hope that this means we'll get most of PoC when it comes out. I'm a little worried that without a big movie this year, Joes will go back to being a couple of pegs at TRU like the 25th figures were.

TRU pointe-Claire still has a decent stock of RoC figs. Nothing from waves 4 or 5, but I did snag another Pit Commando.

I was today at Anjou's TRU, and there was a ton of Wave 1 alpha vehicles and a lot of covergirls, Destros and Neo-Vipers. In other words, nothing of interest over there for anyone I believe. Figures are back at 9.99$ too. It's the first time I step into a toy store since before Christmas.

Zellers at Place Alexis-Nihon is still filled with RoC stuff.
They even have a PIT in another aisle along a dozen of the Target Rescue set.
In the main action figure aisle they have 5 other rescue sets and many Target deluxe figures.
I guess people don't want to pay $35 for the coolest Snake Eyes figure or $30 for Stormy on his bike. Maybe folks remember that we used to pay $10 for SE on the same bike back in the VvV days.

i for one would rather pay ebay prices, if your luckey even with shipping it is still cheaper then $30 at zellers, when it is half that at target.

I'm just glad I managed to snatch the two sets I wanted while they were on sale.

Brossard Zellers: nothing new to report.
Brossard Dix30 Winners: Mars 3-packs (not the candy bars) are $15 each.
Brossard Dix30 walmart: 3 rip-attack vehicles, and new movie Combat Heroes scattered throughout the toy section (Cover Girl/Destro, Scuba Snake-Eyes/red genericobra, etc)

Yeah, Joes have been depressingly scarce since the holidays... :(

Wal-Mart Namur restocked the "Paris Pursuit" wave for some reason, so if you missed out on PP SE or SS, or want Reactive Armor Scarlett, go there.

Everywhere else, there's very little...

I'll check out the Brossard TRU tomorrow.  Real depressing.  After the Christmas rush was over, not only did they not restock, but they reduced the size of the Joe section. :o
Well, they did restock one wave: the wave of 25ths with TF Flint!  All the figures of that wave were gone within a few days.

Yeah.

I really wish they'd restock the later waves, like the Rex wave, the Night Adder wave and the City Strike Snake-Eyes wave. There's still stuff from these waves I want.

Instead, they restocked Collection 1 Wave 2, the Paris Pursuit wave. Ugh.
