General Joe Talk / Gi Joe Resolute
« on: February 23, 2011, 11:28:54 AM »
                Hey all,

Okay. I just got a copy of this series/movie, and OMFG, this is by far the BEST
Gi Joe cartoon ever. Why the hell did this not become an ongoing series????
If it had to be played in the evening, so be it. Oh well, at least we have this much.
Anyone know by any chance where you can still get the action figures?????

Cheers

Ontario / 2 Places to look for Gi Joes in Toronto
« on: February 17, 2011, 12:52:14 PM »
            Hey folks,

If you live in Toronto or the surrounding area, two places that have a
pretty decent selection of Gi Joes from different series at good prices
is Toys, Toys, Toys at the Eaton Centre, and 401 Games at the corner
of Yonge St. and Gerrard St. Check em out if your looking for some of
the older series stuff including 25th anniversary.

Cheers

Items Wanted / Gi Joe Extreme
« on: February 14, 2011, 06:19:04 PM »
                   Hey all,

It's me again. I just watched the first episode of the cartoon today,
and I love it. Iron Klaw makes Cobra Commander look like a nice guy.
The action is........well, EXTREME. lol
If anyone has any of the figures MOC(or at least on card). I really
want Iron Klaw V1 and Lt. Stone V1, but would be very happy to
take any other figure as well. Any vehicles would be great too.
Let me know if you have any, and how much you want for them.
Or at least, where I might be able to get them, except for Ebay.

Thanks
Dale

General Joe Talk / Sigma 6
« on: February 13, 2011, 05:22:13 PM »
Considering that I haven't watched any Gi Joe cartoons since the original ARAH,
or collected anything since about 1987, I have had some serious catching up to
do over the last month.
I have to say folks that I really like Gi Joe Sigma 6, the cartoon and toy line both.
The toys remind me enough of the original AT Joes from 1970-77 that I played
with and loved, and I think the cartoon is awesome. I also like anime, so that
could have something to do with it, but I think the action is awesome.
Anyone know where I might still be able to buy some of the toys in Toronto,
Pickering, Ajax????

Off Topic / True Heros
« on: February 12, 2011, 10:00:55 AM »
                    Hey all,

I happened to by a TRU yesterday, and thought great I can go in an get some Joes.
Well, to my surprise, they don't carry Gi Joe any longer, but their own exclusive line
called True Heros. These sets are perfectly scaled to fit into the Gi Joe world (hint),
and the price points are unbelievably low for what you are getting. The sets and toys
are BIG, and in most cases include 2-3 action figures as well. I thing everyone should
at least take a look. They actually look pretty decent.

Usernames: O-T / Silver Snail Comics Toronto
« on: February 09, 2011, 09:27:00 PM »
I HAD been going to Silver Snail for close to 30 years when something in the store not too long ago changed that forever.



One day I was in the store looking around like I always did, and having



a good time looking at all the cool toys etc. This particular day I couldn't



find what I was looking for, so I asked the store employee working in the



back area on the main floor for some assistance. His response.........



I don't know. That's it, period. So, I walked up to the front cash, and to my



immense astonishment, the "ALL MIGHTY STORE OWNER" himself was



behind the counter. I thought great, now I will surely get my answer.



Guess what?????? He looked at me, didn't answer, and then just turned



his back to me. I could not believe it. After coming to the store for SO LONG, and giving them so much business over the years, this is how I,



a customer of long standing was treated. You know what folks. This is



how everyone is now treated. The owner how zero interest in customer



service, and only wants your money. I have gone back in a couple of times just to observe, and I have seen this same type of treatment done



to many other customers as well.



On top of all this, if you are a toy collector, you DO NOT want to buy your



action figures etc from Silver Snail. Not only do they put their price sticker



right on the plastic view bubble, which screws up the potential value, never mind the overall view of the toy, but they also charge $5-10 more



for the same products that you can buy at Toys R Us, Wal-mart, Zellers and other comic book stores in the downtown area.



Do yourself a favour dear customer, and do your business somwhere



else where they actually give a damn about their customers, and not



just your money.

The \'Show\' Room / My Gi Joe Collection
« on: February 09, 2011, 04:45:36 PM »
               Hi All,

Sadly, I only have 1 picture to display, because I only started
collecting last month.
Due to my severe back injury, I can no longer work, and my
doctors have all suggested that I need something to focus on
that will help take my mind off of the constant pain.
I have always loved Gi Joe since I first played with the AT Joes
back in 1973, which are all gone sadly, so I thought what better
thing to do than start collecting Gi Joe action figures and toys.
So far I only have the 2010 POC Steel Marauder Mech Suit.
I can't figure out how to upload pics from this forum page.
Can someone please explain how to do that.

Thank you
Dale

Items Wanted / Gi Joe Star Brigade
« on: February 09, 2011, 04:06:45 PM »
            Hi all,

I haven't collected in years, and only recently found out about
this particular Gi Joe Line. I personally dig it a lot, and would
like to get some of the action figures.
I live in Ajax, so if there is anyone in Toronto, Pickering, Ajax,
Whitby or even Oshawa that has any for sale please let me
know.

Thanks
Dale

General Joe Talk / Action Man
« on: February 07, 2011, 09:43:19 AM »
Yeah Yeah I know a lot of folks in NA don't consider Action Man
to be Gi Joe, but that is the case.
Anyway, I thought that if anyone was interested, I just found
out that there is a pretty damn cool Action Man cartoon on
Youtube. 2 actually, one conventional art, and the other CGI.
Enjoy

JoeCanuck Trading Cards / How do you get these cards
« on: February 03, 2011, 09:13:54 AM »
Sorry newbie here.
I presume that you can only get the cards at each convention,
but how would you get the older ones that you missed.
This years 2011 convention will be my first, and I can't wait
to go. Yo Joe
