Yesterday I was at Sandborns (sort of Wallgreens but fancy, with restaurant and electronics) and finally, Combat heroes wave 2 and some Modern era joes from waves 9,10, 12. At last after a 2 year delay Hasbro is shipping them first at Sandborns stores all over Mexico, maybe Sears (Sandborns affiliate in MX) and then all over the country I hope.
I combed today 2 more Sand borns hopping to find the Resolute Comic Packs and Singles I need to complete my collection, but no luck, just wave 9,10,12 and CH wave 2. Well at least they are here now, and they arent, Canadian they are USA released versions. The Price $199.00 pesos (20.00 bucks) each figure, (almost as in a comic shop) Sandborns is an expensive store, plus the dollar/peso issues plus customs etc. Well, I hope getting that vacancy at Office Depot tomorrow, so I can affor at least the Rise of Cobra figs. Didnt bring picts because is forbidden to take pictures inside malls and stores in Mexico, go figure. |

FYI, the exchange rate last time I checked was $15.25 pesos to a US dollar. So, $199.00 pesos is more like $13.00 US.

Yes, my mistake there with the exchange rate. I checked some places here is 14.00 more or less and is coming down to 13.00. I liked much better when it was 10.00/11.50 Buying stuff was much easier last year. All my 25th stuff I bought was more cheap. Now Its impossible. I just need to buy the Duke resolute, CC and C Trooper Resolute and the lasts 2 comic packs. Any way Hasbro toys in Mexico are expensive, The new marvel and Wolverine line are as expensive as the joes, $ 189.00 pesos each. I wanted to buy one Deadpool for a snake eyes custom and one Silver Surfer for a Dr. Manhattan custom but my pocket hurts. :(

$20.00 bucks a pop, ouch. I just hope after reading your thread us Americans can stop bitching about $7.00 figures when you're paying $20.00 |

Wish they sold them in Reynosa Mexico so all the collectors from Reynosa can leave this area alone. Bad enuff they tear up the shops with their kids on the middle of the week but the weekend WHOA!!!! some stores look like a DMZ.

My collection of GI Joe 25th I purchased in Mexico for completely free market, achieving 57 figures and some vehicles in about 570 bucks, the truth too expensive for some action figures so small, recently started selling in stores for walmart mexico contained in the individual 164 pesos, a very high price
