My wife was at Walmart on the weekend and the toy aisle guy told her that they are clearing out all the ROC stuff at 50% off current prices.  So Night Ravens for $5, Mole Pod/Lava Pod's for $4.  This was for the Walmart in Orillia since they have quite a few Alpha vehicles left.

Too bad I didn't learn about this sooner. I would'nt have minded getting Charbroil or Kamakura at 3$ since I don't have them yet. But no point getting a ride to a toys R us by now, must all be empty.

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?!!!

That's because SOMEONE actually buys Neo-Vipers.

To help bring PoC here faster, Mike should use the RoC Neo-Viper in some fashion in the 2011 Con Set Exclusive!  We could paint him blue and call him the Neo-SNAKE-Viper!   :lol:

I checked 2 Walmarts and they are not at 50% here.  Your store is doing it's own clearence to move stock.  If I were you go back and get more!  :lol:

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!   :lol:

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.

Doesn't it look better to go into a the GI Joe asile and see all the figures on it's own peg?!! Even Neo-Vipers look better when packed together!

I'm glad it's not just me. I've done that a few times myself. Alright, I did it just last week.

David Willis refers to this in a Shortpack'd strip as well.  It is a common illness among toy collectors.
