Thats cool. Just wanted to point em out in case someone wanted ot buy em. No clue how long they will last at decent prices with decent shipping on ebay. They could end up flooding and I slightly over paid as will someone else or they will dry up and disappear for good and the prcie will sky rocket. Its a medium range price for me, I felt it was worth it so I bought one. shrug. $$48 sure beats $199 lol..

I think I got fair prices at $60 and $80. To have a full set and cherry picked extras, the prices were totally worth it. If they go down in value I say great everyone gets a shot at some. Maybe Hasbro Walmart and Target get a message and we get Dusty and Sandstorm and the Whirlwind ect

I got the two I wanted (Tiger Claw and Polar Sharc) already on the way from a Tanker. $16 each plus shipping. I'm glad I didn't overpay on eBay. I already snagged 1 Volcano-Viper from WS_toys before. Last edited by Fast_Draw; 06-02-2010 at 01:03 AM.. |

WM canada does this sort of thing all the time, and it's ALWAYS out of the blue. last time something like this happened, it was with transformers. The classics Inferno wave for $10 on clearance. one short burst, and never seen again. Most walmarts in parts of eastern canada i stop in (Bathurst to Halifax) are pretty much cleared out of Joes in the first place, having stopped re-stocking months ago. my WM in particular hadn't seen a re-stock since B4 xmas.
i can make a safe assumption that this is a one time deal, once these wave 3 are gone, they are gone. no idea why we have them, or where they came from, but seeing as they were clearance items in some stores, and they are pulling shelf space for new toy lines, i think we just got lucky. we didn't even see a glimpse of wave 2 here, and we never even got the figure waves past city strike snake eyes. |

In the BST, somebody was selling a few sets for $64.99 + shipping a few days ago I thought.

I think it's also a possibility that Canada may have gotten a small shipment of these, but that Hasbro is still sitting on lots of cases in their warehouse just waiting for the right time to send them to a store like Tuesday Morning, TJ Maxx and Big Lots in a year or two.
Just a possibility, but it's happened before with Joe stuff. |

Only had a MIB Polar Shark and a loose Volcano Viper with Lava Pod. I didn't have the other two at all nor the sticker sheet and filecard for the VV and LP so I went ahead and picked up the full set since I want to try and army build the Polar Sharks. I'd been trying to get a line on them from a guy on the Phillipines but he has not been responding to e-mails for a while so I was glad to see these come out. Now I just need the Target set to come out so I can stop hunting down the three I need from that wave

It just kind of stinks that some of the better stuff ended up getting shit-canned. Why not start strong out of the gate? That first wave of RoC figures (the one that every Target seems to have) was the weakest wave by far IMHO. |
