Bit of a funny story.
Since Jason found his red Lang, about the only thing I needed to find was a retro Modano (or two, or three). I ended up flying to a meeting in Florida the same day the figures were mass released in Winnipeg (Walmart and Zellers both, tons of figures) so I basically missed it all.
Still looking around for stuff though, more SW than McF and I wandered into a small Zellers store that usually doesn't have much product. I didn't expect to find anything and was looking more for Saga than anything else. Nothing there, but I wandered down the aisle to check the other stuff. What's sitting up there staring at me but a retro Modano
Naturally I counted the figures a bunch of times. Only ten on the pegs
Weird. Count again. Yup, 10. Looks like someone came in and snagged a couple of figures off the pegs and because Modano wasn't on the back of the package, they left him behind not knowing he was a variant or perhaps presuming it was a figure from an older series (I think the first Modano was series 3). Either way, a huge score and a really nice surprise.
Piles of NHL Legends 2 figures have been put out as well at Walmart for only $3.86 CAD. Quite a bargain but nothing I don't already have that I want. Some guys were very lucky and picked up some variants for super cheap including one guy that scored 5 Rangers Esposito. Phenomenal price.
