Heading back home from holidays on the 401 in Ontario, Canada...
Eaton Centre EB X - 4 Cobra Commander, 1 Gung Ho Downtown Toronto EB Games - 2 Zartan, 1 Gung Ho Dufferin Mall TRU- 4 CI Roadblock Yonge & Eglinton TRU- Roadblock Variant, Lady Jaye, Zartan and Flint (1 of each) Don Mills TRU - 2 Cobra Commander Vaughan Mills TRU - 5 CI Roadblock Brampton TRU - 2 Cobra Commander, Roadblock variant Pickering TRU - 7 Cobra Commander, 1 Scarlett and completely stocked movie line 12inch Snake Eyes w/Sword, real cheap 12inch Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in long narrow boxes - stacked weapons sets - no 6inch movie line figures or motorcycles.. looks like this section is gonna be sitting for a long time. Located in Electronics Belleville TRU - Sold Out Kingston TRU - 4 CI Roadblock Brockville EB Games - Zartan, Lady Jaye, Flint and Gung Ho (1 of each) None of the TRU had the CI Beach Head, CI Cobra Officer, CI Barbecue or CI Clutch that I was looking for.. sold out on 1st two and doesn't look like the two new ones even made Canada like the first Cobra Island figures. No TRU I visited could give me info on when the next shipment is coming in and was told the manifest is sent to them 24 hours prior to being released on the shelves TRU online show all figures as sold-out however all those figures still in store.. what a mess None of them had the 6inch Classified Movie line figures.. EB Games in Brockville said they can pre-order them with no arrival date A 4 hour drive home turned into a big waste of 8 hours of driving.... I bought the CI Roadblock #11 for the sake of adding the number to the collection.. needed something to open for my bday.. not really a breath taking moment lol I have.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24, 25, 26, 27 My Viper, Major Bludd and 2x Baroness with Coil was purchased at TRU St. Laurent Mall in Ottawa and TRU Nepean a month ago when lockdown lifted.. they are now sold out of the good figures.. they had CI Roadblock, Scarlett and Roadblock variants still on the shelf at the time I purchased my red ninja on Amazon.. I pre-ordered the new Roadblock (V1) from Amazon but only coming in September I am at the point I would trade my extra misb Baroness and Coil Cycle for a Beach Head.. ... knowing is half the battle Yo Joe!

Breaker seems to be starting to hit out in BC, and I have no idea if/when Barbecue will hit, but it's a Target exclusive so it's got to show at TRU some time. He's currently up at Robotkingdom, not sure if shipping will be any worse than the usual for us here. I'll probably try trading a Baroness for Breaker when he's out if I can't source one another way. If I get word of any local finds I'll be sure to pass it along to you. Haven't seen any sign of Vipers/Firefly/CI Troopers up here either, but I'm not sure they do more than get close to a shelf before they're gone. Are you after the retro HISS 3 or any of that line? Also, happy birthday! |

Thanks for that. I've got to actually go into TRU to buy some stuff for my kids' b-days over the next couple of months.
(Although before someone yells at you, we DO have a dedicated Canadian sightings thread - this should probably be moved there.) |

Thanks for letting us know about the thread. Going out on a scouting run this morning, so it may get a fresh post later!

That's a bit of a slog to get through! Full credit for literally going the extra miles and thanks for sharing results with us. I have no idea how many Canadian collectors are after this line, but I know it goes fast, with little warning. Preorders are my best friend when I can catch them.
Breaker seems to be starting to hit out in BC, and I have no idea if/when Barbecue will hit, but it's a Target exclusive so it's got to show at TRU some time.

Also, happy birthday! I posted a picture of my collection of Classified on this thread.. as for your retro question.. would love a Hiss 3, Stalker, Grunt and Cobra Infantry! My youngest has taken to GIJoe and loves retro more than I do.. I.. miss the O-Rings! |
