Thanks to an initial sighting made by AFN member sacha88 (welcome to the forums!), we now know that first wave of the 3.75" 30th Anniversary G.I. Joe figures has finally hit Canadian retail. Wave 1 consists of Sgt. Stalker, Steel Brigade, Cobra Trooper, Cobra Viper, Hazard-Viperand Iron Grenadier.

The sighting was made at a Walmart in Ontario.

To see what's been found in your area head on over to our Canadian Action Figure Sightings Forum (http://www.actionfigurenews.ca/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=19).

I guess we're not getting POC wave 6.

Still awesome news though! Glad to hear that new Joe stuff is finally showing up here! How much are these?

:eek: That sucks!

I'm hoping that TRU brings in tons of these figures and have that BOGO for $1 sale again! LOL! It's wishful thinking, but they do have a few months before they have to clear them out for the movie toys! ;)

Are these usa cards? I hope so, then we might get left overs of waves 3 and 4, since they were not a lot of them in stores.

Thanks for the welcome Hantel! The ones I bought where still priced at 7.92, so I don't know what was going on at that store.

The Zombie viper is part of the last wave of the 30th Anniversary figures (wave 4). Considering the last wave of POC (wave 6) was skipped, that may be the case with the Zombie Viper wave as well. :( Unless they bring in some kind of revision wave with him in it.

Welcome to AFN!

You may have gotten them before the prices changed at the store. :highfive: Fellow members are seeing price hikes at various Walmarts for the different Hasbro lines. :(

The waves of these figures have two different ways of looking at it, depending on who you ask. If you call this the Renegades / 30th anniversary line, then this is wave 1.

http://generalsjoes.com/g-i-joe-renegades-and-30th-anniversary-review-page/

Zombies won't show up until wave 4.

I doubt Canada will see a full run of Waves 1 through until 4.

The sad news is Wave 3 is the only wave with Storm Shadow in it and that is the easiest wave to skip since the case assortments of the other waves carries all the other characters.

They are also lumped under the "Pursuit of Cobra" banner at some on line stores, making wave 1 Renegades / 30th as known as wave 7 P.O.C. :

Its funny you say that Morgardee since the Walmart.ca website does show Storm Shadow and Techno Viper (Wave 3).

I hope its a sign of things to come instead of false advertising. Most likely 30th anniversary may end with wave 1 but possibly wave 4 before the GI Joe Retaliation figures come out.

That is awesome and I hope you are right. That would make my day!

Sweet !
All mine arrived with no Customs charges, they put the value @ $20 :D

Wave 4 sealed case + 3 Zombie Vipers = $130 shipped/no taxes(15 figures):clapping:

WAAAAAY cheaper than retail + tax + gas.
