General Joe Talk / Ahh the memories.
« on: August 02, 2009, 07:37:09 AM »
Just sitting here eating some cereal watching gi Joe on tv (teletoon retro).  So sweet!!!

I've noticed that the show was very up to date with technology and mentioned a lot of things that have come into mainstream today.  Also there were a lot of little mentions/scenarios that were more "adult" than we would see then.

I have to agree with B.  They look nice, but I will only get them for less than cost since that is where they will end up within the year.

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Re: 2009 Con Sets

I think a big part of it is the fact that Comic Con just happened, and the U.S. JoeCon is about to happen.

I'm positive the demand is still there for these. It's just that people are using their money for other con items right now - and summer.

Obviously the sets are not in that big a demand, so feel free to send me your sets and I'll make sure they get a good home!!  :lol:

I think that Mike is partially right.  I also think that summer time is a big lull with people spending money on vacations and upcoming bills (back to school, etc).  Also, refund cheques are long gone now so splurging on extras is on the downslide.

I would watch more closely near Christmas when someone needs a killer present for their mate/friend/whatever.

Items Wanted / Looking for 7 pack boxes in Toronto area (Extreme Conditions or Cobra Island)
« on: July 28, 2009, 08:34:45 PM »
Hey all.

If anyone has boxes and plastic inserts from the Extreme Conditions or Cobra Island sets and don't want them anymore I would be willing to take them off your hands. 

I am looking for people in the Toronto area who I can meet up with to avoid shipping costs, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Marc

General Joe Talk / Anyone going to thr Joe Con in KC?
« on: July 28, 2009, 04:36:53 PM »
Just thought I would ask.

I'm about 95% that I am going, so I thought I would ask and see if any of the JoeCanuckers were planning on going as well.

A few MMS will fit great with my Target HISS patrol! 
For the others, i will buy them only for the figures.  I already have some vintage one.

Yeah!!!

I picked up 3 more Target HISSes at the con and each one is going to get a MMS to tow!!

I'm also loving what is going to end up as a Crimson Televiper with that Surveillence Port.

I have no doubt that TRU over ordered.  My local TRU was getting pretty bare from the sale, but I have no doubt that they will be fully restocked this weekend.

General Joe Talk / Re: Rise Of Cobra Movie Reviews starting to hit online...
« on: July 15, 2009, 11:36:46 AM »
Interesting reviews.  One review is way over the top in how good the movie is, how great the characters are and how much it reminded them of their childhood Joes.

The others are better reviews with actual examples of how/why something worked or didn't.  I came away from reading those reviews with a sense that the movie will be pretty good.  I'm even starting to hope that it is the sleeper hit of the summer.  Obviously nowhere near as big as ROTF or HP, but hopefully at least $200 million domestically.

General Joe Talk / Re: Where have all the Joe movie ads gone?
« on: July 15, 2009, 08:56:37 AM »
Considering the movie is still 3 weeks out, you shouldn't worry.

There has been a TON of advertising for this movie already, and once Harry Potter passes next week, we will see the full court press for the movie.

Great news for us.  SNAKE ARMOR.:)
I'm very happy and i will get a few of these.  The problem is we will have to pay big price and shipping for these. >:(

Maybe not.  At the CON the Hasbro Canada rep stated that all the exclusive would be picked up in Canada.  So hopefully he wasn't pulling our legs.

And we finally get some packaged shots of the Firebat repaint and the motorcycly w/sidecar (Snarler Cycle)

I wonder if we might see that Ferret from a while back show up in another 2 pack, rather than as a CON exclusive.

So far I just picked up Shipwreck.  I want a PP SE but I won't pay full price for movie figs because I know they will go on sale.

As for Shipwreck.  WOW!!!  What a great figure, with great accessories.  If the majority of the line were like him, it would be a no brainer.  However a lot of the "screen" figures just don't do it for me.
