Surprisingly over here in New Zealand we were able to get ROC figures including wave 4 for just $2! So I was lucky enough to get a few of the hard to find figures like Kamakura for just 2 bucks!
They were $19.95 at one stage. It just shows how much mark up toys stores put on items. I don't think we will see any POC figures so I guess it won't happen again.

Yeah, ive gone slightly nuts with this. Lotsa custom fodder even though im yet to finish one.
Picked up 3 mantis w/aqua viper for $10nz each. Score! Also several Dr rex (black coat) and city strike snake eyes. |

If they're selling them for 2.00 now, it's either becasue they just want to get rid of them, of they were sourced at a very low price to start with. |

Jealous
In Oz, we never got beyond wave 1 series 1 and 2. I never saw a Cover Girl or Sgt Stone at retail ever and our Targets only ever got the first wave of exclusives and that was it. Did you guys get any of the TRU exclusives? we didn't...thank goodness for eBay |

Hasbro sold them to the retailers around 6 months ago but they held back on putting them out for some reason. Seemed strange to me but hasbro wouldnt comment on it.
The only exclusives I saw here were the 2 packs (monkeywrench/tunnel rat etc) and they are still floating around at half price ($20). |
