I asked for a wave 13 case. The case had 1 Resolute Duke, 1 Resolute CC, 2 Resolute Trooper, 1 Firefly, 1 Torch, 1 Blowtorch, and a wave11 Python CG (why wave11?!?). I'm broke now... Definitely can't army build at these prices, but the Walmarts/Zellers are pegless... |

I got my comic store to order me a case (8 figures) of Joes from Diamond Previews. I agreed to pay $12 CAN per figure, of which I reserved 5 of 8. I actually bought 6, Torch was an impulse buy. I ordered early Jan and just got them today. Took like 3 weeks, which the owner said was surprisingly fast...
Me too! and yah the same goes for the WM/Zellers in my area! :(

TRU raised their prices for single figures to $10.99 Can. WTF!!! That is absolutely absurd price gouging!!! And to the fact, TRU carries no more than 1 full peg of figures. 2 and 3 packs are 12.99 and 16.99. No change. Hasbro and TRU has no confidence in this toy line.

My comic shop raised prices to 12.99 for a trash figure to 15.99. It was either 14.99 or 15.99 for a Resolute Duke depending on which rack you pulled it off of. And he isn't that good as I picked up one. I could have had the Cobra Commander, PP CG but the paint apps were SHIT!

Peg warmers + higher prices = less new product.

I was just at Markville TRU and they indeed raised prices on everything. They did get new stock on very old waves, things like Snow Serpents, Flash, PP Officer, CGs. The cheapest place for singles now is still silver snail from what I can tell (I havent been there in a week or 2), last I checked they were 8.99. Im glad most the movie is coming soon and I wont have to drop more money on entire waves. At least for a while, Ill be dropping huge money on Alley Vipers.
On a side note I did pick up a True Heroes Transport Helicopter (at TRU) and its wicked for my Paravipers (at least untill I can get a Chap Mei Osprey). It was only 30 bucks and its HUGE, if you havent read the article in Jan issue of JoeCanuk newsletter, read it, it might make you consider buying the cheaper alternatives for Joe Vehicles.

Have you guys seen any Rattlers in stores?
LD seems like a good place to get Joes at, not many people know they sell them. I got the black head destro pack from there. I haven't looked in weeks since my wife and I are moving to Langley. At least in Langley there is a WM, LD, TRU that has Joes. I miss the old days where The Bay, Eatons, Sears all Woodwards all had Joes. As for the clear Wraith, never seen them anywhere. I've only seen the regular Wraith at TRU. |

Heading to Toy Traders in Langley on Saturday. Really looking forward to it as I've never been and it sounds like a nice setup.
Update: Wow. I've got a new homebase for picking up GI Joe goods. Last edited by generic trooper; 02-07-2009 at 11:30 PM.. |
