After a poor selection of elites for the past while, Canada finally gets more opportunities for elites.
TRU was the only place you could get elites for the past two years or so. They weren't even available at Walmart or target.
With the announcement that all targets in Canada will be closing for good (Target didn't even last for two years here), liquidation sales started, and just before they could say goodbye, they actually got some elites in stock!
After hearing reports of people finding E30 and 32 at targets, I knew I had to go hunting for them, and that's what I did yesterday.
At one target, I was able to find these two:
Not the biggest fan of them, but I could not pass up the rare opportunity to get them at $15.99 each. They were the only two available.
In addition to recent Target reports, many Canadians have even reported finding elites at walmart! I went to 5 WalMarts today and picked up a few at one location.
At first, I only picked up JYD, but when I went to the cashier, there was a problem. The elites were not in the system. The cashier asked me how much they were and I pretended that I wasn't sure. However, my dad told the cashier, "just make it ten bucks". And that's what the cashier did... She gave me JYD for $10!
(She put "toydoll" on the receipt... Erghh. It's an action figure!)
After that, I went back and got the other two elites they had, also for $10 each!
Ended up spending $30 before tax for the three elites which I was VERY happy about.
After, I went to a target and returned the DM Hogan that I had bought a few weeks ago for $29.99. I then went to the toy section, found a DM Hogan, and bought it again at $23.99 because of the liquidation sale.
A solid few days for figures!
Thanks for looking!
UPDATE 2/15
Picked up another figure today:
Paid the regular $24.97 for it. What's funny is that it was on the floor hidden underneath the very bottom shelf!
Thanks again everyone!
