What issue is that?

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Ontario / Re: POC/30th and 12" figures at Winners

Winners in South End Barrie has 1 ea of Techno Viper, Cobra Trooper (Renegades) and Duke (Renegades).  I passed on them, even though $7.99 is an awesome price and I paid more than that for a Techno Viper before.   :(

Plus they had a Vamp and Black Dragon.

Across the highway from that Winners is a Marshall's (same family as Winners) and they also had the Vamp and Black Dragon.  Plus 3 x 12" figures but I didn't look at them very closely.

My local winners has Sky Strikers $30, Black Dragon VTOL $15, Vamp MK2 $15.

Great pricing for the Black Dragon and the Vamp.  If I didn't have too many Vamp's now I would grab one for sure.

Off Topic / Re: Shield Helicarrier. Great looking....WAIT WHAT????

I would love to have that Shield Helicarrier.

Two cons to it though.

1 - Not enough space for a 4' Helicarrier when I have my Flagg up already
2 - I really want the Maria Hill figure and that is a lot of money to get one figure

I finally opened my Fang Boat, and for being a retooled Water Moccasin, it is a very decent toy. 

Before I opened my Fang Boat, I contemplated returning it.  I have the POC with Copperhead and Swamp Viper.  I also have my original from when I was a kid.  After putting it together I really like the design of it.  I even dig the colours.  Even though I hate spring loaded weapons, the launcher works on the Fang Boat.

I even hate to say it but the Swamp Viper that comes with the Fang Boat is one of the best 5 POA figures I've ever seen.  For what they lack in articulation, they make up for it in sculpting detail.  The hands were done really well on that figure.  He also has a really cool head that I am debating doing a head swap with another figure.

The price is right on that vehicle too.  Under $20 after tax, for a classic G.I. Joe vehicle.  You can't go wrong.

General Joe Talk / G.I. Joe Renegades on DVD
« on: June 08, 2012, 11:31:55 AM »
June 6 G.I. Joe Renegade Season 1 Part 1 came out on DVD.

I picked up my copy for $14.97 at Walmart.

On the cover of the DVD was a $5 off movie coupon for G.I. Joe Retaliation.  I started laughing in the aisle when I saw that.  Not only was the sticker still attached, but you only get $5 off the movie ticket.  The expiration date for the coupon is July 23rd.  I haven't tried redeeming the code yet, but I wonder if the expiration date will be pushed back til April 2013?

All Across Canada / Re: Mattel Avatar AMP suits $10 at Winners.
« on: June 08, 2012, 11:28:41 AM »
I picked one up at a local record store that used to sell toys.  They were clearing it out at $6.99.  It's a very decent vehicle for Joes.  I like the look of it more than the Mech's that came out with POC.  Definately worth the $10.

Walmart in Orillia got Wave 1 figures and the Snake Eyes play mask.  $10.77 for the figures.  No vehicles. 

The Cobra Commander they had was the black version.   :(

I am looking for the blue version.

 Yes indeed.  It was nice to get back almost $30 on the figures and vehicle with the price adjustment.  Too bad that money went right back into more figures, another HISS and a Ghost Hawk II (see my rant about it in the Retaliation toys thread).

For me, I got $89 back in price matching... then spent another $30 on Spider-Man toys
