Yep. Night Raven is too expensive. Small vehicles and figures are flying off shelves though. My TRU looks like a bomb hit the joe display.

Argyle W-M in London has it. It was very picked over, but it was in my favor. I've already bought all the good and great ROC stuff that's out in Canada, so this was a nice way to get Zartan, Ripcord and four Neo-Vipers to round out a squadron. The main leftovers were Baroness and Neo-Viper, but Destro was sadly way over-represented considering he's one of the great ROC figures. Mouth-eyes was sold out, as were nearly every one of the good guys aside from Breaker and the lone Ripcord I grabbed.

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.

Figures are still scanning at 5$ this morning @ Cambridge Wal~Mart.  No restock yet, but they are down to about 50 figures (less than half of their display is full).

I went to my TRU yesterday to pick up some Vipers for cheap and the price promo was over.  So I left with nothing.

Still $5.00 at Walmart as of last night.

Also saw the Hiss Tank at Winners for $12.99.

Thanks for the Winners tip. I never go there but was able to grab two more HISS today thanks to your post. :)

I ended up getting Baroness and Scarlet (in the gray cammo) since they were 5 bucks. But their head sculpts were so terrible that I ended up taking the head off the blue costume Baroness and giving it to the movie one. I also painted the green sunglasses black.Then, since I had an extra Lady Jaye with a hat I took her head and put it on Scarlet's body. I think they look a lot better now.

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.

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.

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.

Cambridge Wal~Mart is down to about 20 figures.  Mostly Baroness and Neo Vipers, but I believe I saw Destro and Scarlet (Covert Operations) as well.
