Re: GI Joe POC deleted from walmart canada system

Really? POC is awesome! I guess not awesome enough to carry the line without some sort of movie tie-in...

Whatever. I'd been getting mine through BBTS anyway or when I take trips to the states.

Wait, I'm confused... is the line dead or just that Walmart is no longer carrying it? I mean, not a terrible thing if TRU and Zellers do keep carrying the line as at least it will still be available in Canada.

Walmart MIGHT not be carrying it, if the rumour is true.....which would be until they decide to carry it again.
Its not a big deal because the line is still at Zellers and TRU, and local comic shops can still get the stuff.

Frankly, I'm not surprised Walmart might be dumping it--from the sounds of things the vehicles--which were the higher price point items in the line--were not moving at all. The figures certainly sold, but the line needs the vehicles to move to be sustainable.
If you notice, TRU is stocking some of the figures, but not yet any of the vehicles.
I'd expect to see the line appear in other retailers that carry toys- places like Canadian Superstore etc.

Re: GI Joe POC deleted from walmart canada system

zellers here bailed on joes months ago, they don't have empty pegs or a price tag for them. shit they're still trying to sell 18 roc rescue mission packs for $35.
tru got joes for the 1st time(1 wave 3 case) more than a few weeks ago and there's 2 dukes and 2 SS left. i highly doubt a restock will happen
walmart was my last and only hope at aquiring joes at a fair price
i'm seriously considering getting a US maiing address thru a mail forwarding website/company for ordering from the states and avoiding getting ass raped by shipping charges from sites like hasbrotoyshop and ebay sellers.

Re: GI Joe POC deleted from walmart canada system

Not cool if true. WM is offering POCs at the lowest price in the nation. They were still $7.92, or something like that, the last time I checked. Haven't stopped by my local WM this past week, so not sure if it's the case for here as well. Though, the one I usually frequent hasn't received any new single carded figures in quite a while (not since wave 3 started appearing). I do recall seeing the bravo vehicles being marked as clearance items for $25 each (which is like ~$2 less than what they originally were) at one location a while ago.
