General Joe Talk / Re: WOW! Talk about a big ticket price. Ebay item.

Hey Morgardee, I'm not sure you would get $1000 for it sealed.

If it is a US box, then it will go for a good bit of change.  As well, if you were willing to go with AFA (I won't go into them here), then you would probably get $1000 for it (depending on the quality of the box).

Hey Mods, if this is not the right place for this topic, please move it.

I had been watching 3 auctions by the same guy in toronto (goes by genxtoys).  I bought a complete w/box Sky Raven and a complete Night Raven (minus one bomb) w/ box and sealed Strato-Viper for $55 from him.  So when I saw he had more vehicles for sale, I of course kept an eye out.

Thankfully they went for some pretty high prices to keep my from thinking about it.  He had a MISB Thunderclap (US box) go for $200+.  A set w/Phantom x-19 and the 2nd JOE base, both MISB, both US boxes went for $300+.  Then the big one.  He had a Rolling Thunder (MISB, US box) that went for $1025!!!! 

I am always fascinated by these kinds of auctions.  It also makes me realize that Hasbro needs to get us a large vehicle/playset in the 25th line.  Hopefully all the chatter about a Terrordrome will make Hasbro look twice at possibly doing one.

General Joe Talk / Wave 12 (Wave 8 2008) "Bonus Wave pics on yojoe.com

I'n not sure what, if any, policy there is about linking to other sites, so feel free to add a link.

Hasbro's "Bonus" wave now has some pics.

We get 6 figures.

Tripwire (desert scheme) w/meteor element.  Doesn't look significantly different from the comic pack version, but at least he comes with the element.

Storm Shadow w/ninja gear.  Looks to be a wave 1 SS, but all white and with "ninja gear."

Cobra Diver w/heavy water element.  This looks to be a pretty sweet figure.  It is just torpedo in red, with black down the middle.  I like it, but it seems kind of moot with the Eel coming out so near.

Ripper.  Overall he looks exactly like the comic pack version, just the colours appear to be lighter.

Cobra Trooper.  Same as wave 1, but with a red emblem.  Apparently a lot of fans have been asking for this.

Python Patrol Crimson Guard.  Finally, we get another figure to add to the PP ranks.  It will be nice to have.

I highly doubt they are going to release the DTC version of the HISS tank.  Not a single vehicle or figure has been released under the 25th banner that came from the DTC molds.  It is most likely just an error in the listing.

Anyone find the little surprise with the RAM?

The pistol in the saddle bag?

That's the one.  I was pleasantly surprised when I found it.

The reality is that "international" cards don't really go for much.  Until recently, most American collectors didn't care for them, and in fact preferred the English only US cards.

I was able to trade a set of 3 cards for a DOC (1 blank, 1 Cobra, 1 Joe), but selling the figures individually doesn't get you much. 

I would hazard a guess that in the long run, the "blank" cards (wave 5) will be the most sought after due to their completely different look.

Just thought I would bump this one time to try again.  I had an offer, but it was higher than I wanted to go.

Items Wanted / Looking for a Crimson Attack Tank II.
« on: July 03, 2008, 09:17:45 PM »
Hey guys.

I'm looking for a Crimson Attack Tank II.  This is the one that is mostly red from a few years ago.  It can be MISB or loose, but it has to be complete and in great condition.  Just message me if you have one.  Also please not I am not looking to spend a lot so only reasonable prices.

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.

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

My thoughts exactly AK!

The cost of gas of running around would likely be more now than that of postage.  I am frustrated as well by making the run toa store and finding nothing.  I have bought the last 2 waves on line.  Hopefully I'll find the Wave 4 Comic Packs at the store (not that we don't have excellent members who we can purchase items from at reasonable rates!).

Paul

That's because you are too slow!!! HA!! 

KIDDING!!!

I'm in the same boat.  I use to make a monthly, or twice monthly run down to Buffalo/Niagara (from Toronto).  Now I don't bother.  I might go once every two months, and I don't "hunt" locally anymore.  I may stop off while out, but I won't make a specific run anymore for toys.

Online, especially with guys like Hal, make it easy to get the US stuff for what it would cost me going myself.
