Hasbro Canada has once again agreed to answer 5 questions from us here at Joecanuck. With the official convention this past weekend, there is no doubt that there are likely questions that the Canadian fans have. Here's your chance to ask! By no means is this limited to questions based on that, you can ask any Joe related questions you have!!!
Once again, we will run this thread for a week or so, then have a vote to determine the 5 winning questions. So, let's hear those questions!
-
I'll start:
It was previously mentioned that Hasbro Toy Shop would begin shipping to Canada in the near future. Is there any more details (like a date?) available for this?
-
Hasbro Toy Shop - coming to Canada?
More product available at retail? - everytime I go to a store (zellers/Wal-mart/ToysRus) they are sold out and never restock.
Store exclusives - has any major retailer confirmed that they will offer these?
Online exclusives - will there be any Canadian online stores?
Mail in figure offers - I know Doc is still running, are there plans for another one (what figure) and will it be available to Canadians?
-

This one was already answered.
There are plans for more mail ins (but no details as to what/when) and ALL future Hasbro mail in offers will be available to Canadians (like the Indy offers are now)
-
1) What is the status of the G.I. Joe cartoon on DVD. Rhino had it last but never finished the run. Any chance someone else will release the entire run?
2) I've seen case assortments for future waves at places like entertainment earth. In those case assortments they show older character like Fire Fly being re-released. Is there any way to make sure Canada gets these so that we can have older figure that totally missed Canada?
3) Will Canada be able to get the Target exclusive vehicles at Zellers?
4) I *think* I saw the new Cobra 7 packs as on line exclusives. Will Canada be able to get those if they are indeed on line only deals?
-
I second the exclusives in Canadian stores question
Also:
Availability at Canadian Retailers / possible increase in supply
Possible re-release of previously released waves (ones that we didn't see in Canada, but were released state-side)
When the Hasbro store is available for shipping to Canada, will we have full access to the full supply - or will we be limited to only the stock that is available in bilingual packaging. I'd hate to see all kinds of sweet items for sale and have them "Not available in your area" because they're English only... ideally, everything that can be shipped to the US buyers should be shippable to Canadian buyers
-
How long is the 25th anniversary line going to continue? or Will it run up to the movie release and then shift the focus and advertising to movie figures and vehicles?.
Another question, with Marvel Legends build a figure and now GI Joe getting parts to build the MASS Device etc, would it possible for a build- a- playset? Or at the very least can we get a new Cobra playset?
-
I think my main questions have already been asked by other by I'll ask them again! :)
#1) Will the upcoming Wave 4 2008 & Wave 5 2008 revisions be coming to Canadian retailers?
#2) On what date will HasbroToyShop begin shipping to Canada? Will this happen in time for SDCC later this month?
#3) At the recent JoeCon it was stated that the 25th Anniversary line will be put on hold once the movie line starts up. When will this switch happen, Q2 2009?
#4) You've stated that Vehicles and Entertainment Battle Packs will be carried in Canada. Will this be in International packaging or the standard US package?
#5) What is "Omega Force"?
#6) I've asked it a million times and will continue asking until I get a firm answer....will new characters from the multi-packs see single card release. Examples: Dusty, Quick Kick, Tele-Viper, Torch, Ripper, Main Frame, Scrap Iron, Tripwire, and Iron Grenadier?
-
#7) Is the black Destro head from comic pack #7 a variant or are both heads included in the pack?
#8) Will we see any more classic Vipers (H.E.A.T. Vipers, Alley Vipers, Hydro Vipers, etc) rather than new ones like the Para-Viper?
#9) Can we get a general release medic? Lifeline perhaps.
-
1) Will Canada be getting the Exlcusive vehicles like the Rattler Target exclusive at Zellers or some other store?????
2) When will we see a mail in gi joe figure availible to Canada or offer left over doc figures up here?
3) Is Hasbro Canada ever going to sell gi joes direct to the customers off there website, like they told us they were going to? I would be happy with this even if they had a minimum $$ order amount.
4)If they know every time they inccrease product so to does the demand go up why don't they increase prouction greatly and offer figures off there site?
-
Is there any chance that Hasbro Canada can order directly to fill Canadian demand?
The only time we have seen US cards here in Canada is when the orders have been filled in the states and then Canada gets the extras. I am assuming the same thing is happening with the Canadian carded figures - the production run fills US orders and any extra go to Canada.
-
I have one that I wish someone would have asked at the con.
"Will the star cases that the DOC figure came in, be available for purchase like the Star Wars cases?"
-

This has already been answered recently. We should see these cases introduced at SDCC later this month.
-
Will the vehicle packs show up at Canadian retail?
Online US stores currently have them - so if they are to show up in Canada, what stores will have them and when?
If not - I would love to know so that I can order them now rather than wait for nothing.
-
Crud, you guys already asked all of the good questions! I'll come back later...

Sweet, now we just need to get them made available to us Canucks.

of points
-
Is there any possible way to get the file card on the Canadian card backs like on the 80's-90's figures? Or some type of mail-in version---I hate the fold out file card.
-
What will be the MSRP for the vehicles and DVD packs?
-

"Will the star cases that the DOC figure came in, be available for purchase like the Star Wars cases?"
I second this question. Pretty much all the questions I would have been asked.. were.
-
What's the logic behind re-releasing VvV figures (G.I. Joe Specialty Action Figures Wave 1)?
-
Will the Target Exclusive Cobra Rattler see a Canadian release?
-
The only question I have has basically ben asked over and over again. What products will make it to Canada?
I want the HISS/Mobat set.

-
I think when voting time comes, we'll have to merge alot of these into one question.
Asking if we'll get exclusives, then asking if we'll get the Rattlor are basically the same question.
It would be better phrased as "Will a retailer in Canada carry the U.S. exclusives such as the Rattlor, etc etc"
-
This thread will be locked and voting will begin on Monday.
-
Asking if we'll get exclusives, then asking if we'll get the Rattlor are basically the same question.
My bad, sorry. :( But yeah, I see what you mean and agree with you.
-
1) Is there any possibility of any of the four Joecanuck met figures be made as actual exclusives?
2) Can us Canadians have it's own OFFICIAL G.I.JOE Canadian collectors club endorsed by Hasbro Canada? The current official club does not reflect the needs of Canadian collectors.

I approached Hasbro afew years back regarding a Canadian Collectors Club and they replied that they would only license one club and the existing club encompasses all of North America and abroad. So I contacted the Collectors Club and had numerous conversations with Brian Savage regarding more Canadian representation i.e. Canadian Branch with access to club products/benefits and he offered this: To have a Canadian Branch you would have to be employed by Fun Publications and at this point there are too many insurance and liability issues as well as monitoring proper promotion and conduct is near impossible. Only optuion a local division of the club, but too many Joe fans live in different areas and the Collectors Club would not recognize online meets for their monthly get together. Hence Joecanuck is the best option.
And with Mike making headway with Hasbro Canada, the Joecanuck meets getting bigger(Convention size) perhapse people are taking notice and things will change for us Canuckers.

Is Zellers still on board with G.I. Joe?
