Baroness and Lady Jaye are popular enough that I expect that set will sell through as will the B.A.T.  /Snow Job set and the Low-Light/Night Viper set. I expect we'll see a lot more of Blowtorch and HEAT Viper on shelves.

This reminds me a lot of the '97 line which consisted entirely of repaints.

I hope your right because the one I want the most is that HEAT Viper, even if I have to buy a bunch of extra Blowtorch figures. Heck, I'll just rit dye the extra figures I don't want.

I know I'd love to get that Lady Jaye, and Baroness at the very least. The rest look very good as well. The ones that are probably my least favorites are Blowtorch (I'm actually tired of seeing this character) and that repainted Viper (that odd color scheme....what gives?).

It looks like 2014 will provide enough new figs to make a CJC in November  :P

Is that a Canadian flag on the Night Vipers face mask?

That what I thought too but at least these look like great quality.

I'd like a closer look at that Flint. I wonder also if the Eels is a straight re-do of the 25th version

Found on General Joes:

  • GI Joe Versus 2 packs (Item 082796)  - $14.99
  • GI Joe Outnumbered Team Pack (3 packs) (Item 082801) - $19.99
  • GI Joe Danger at the Docks (VAMP and Night Landing Craft set) (Item 082754) - $29.99
  • GI Joe Battle Below Zero (Wolf and Sky Hawk set) (Item 082806) - $39.99
  • GI Joe Kreo Terrordrome (Item 085927) - $99.99

The Terrordrome is expensive. I can't imagine how much it will be in Canada... 129$?

Toys R Us always has sales. It's easy to find a 25% off sale on third party building blocks like Kre-O and mega Bloks. I'm not really interested in it but if I find one for $50 I might buy one.

50th stuff is now up for preorder on BBTS as a "shared exclusive". Not much I'm interested in, but would like the pack with Leatherneck and Destro, and an Ice Viper (though not all the other stuff he comes with). Anyone have any idea if these will be coming to TRU in Canada?

Or any update on Kreo? I've all but lost interest due to the lack of stuff coming to Canada. Still seeing a fair bit of wave one sets rotting on the shelves at my local TRU, even after several 40% and 50% off sales. Not looking good for the future of Kreo in Canada.
