Toys "R" Us Exclusive G.I. Joe Kre-O Released in Canada

Thanks to a sighting made by AFN member pandaprime, we now know that G.I. Joe Kre-O have been released in Canada. The first wave of the Toys "R" Us exclusive line consists of building sets Checkpoint Alpha, Cobra Armoured Assault, Dragonfly XH-1, Ninja Temple Battle, Serpent Armour Strike, and Thunderwave Jet Boat. Keep an eye out for the first wave of the blind-bagged figures, as they should be appearing as well!

The sighting was made at a Toys "R" Us in British Columbia.

To see what's been found in your area head on over to our Canadian Action Figure Sightings Forum.

Anyone know the breakdown of prices for the different sets? I took a look online but can't find any Canadian pricing.

Thanks.

Just means it'll be easier to grab them when the time comes, believe me when the Movie hits those things will start selling, at least to the kids.

Any word on the Kreons yet? I'd really love to get my hands on those first before I start picking up the sets, as they'll probably sell out just as fast as Micro-Changers seem to. (Damn Wal-Marts all out of stock and me still needing half the first wave.)

What are the prices like? Are they on par with TF and Battleship pricing or did TRU jack the shit out of them?

I'd like to know about pricing too - you can bet 20-25% over US just like Lego.
