I stayed home and worked.  No point in driving in this weather.

Stupid question, where there any more?  It sounds like these guys have not been released in large quantities so far at TRUs.

I hope to get the MCC when we border hop. I'm hoping NY TRU stores still have them.


So I am guessing your shoving the 10 Cobra 6 pakcs in there.  :D  I would.

Loop, I can't believe you passed up on this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :EOAB:CA:6

I was going to bid on the one Ed mentioned on joecustoms but you expressed an interest in it.  So I didn't want to step on your toes. Then I stumbled upon this auction.  It was the last different convention figure I needed.

Yeah, I hesitated in spending $50 US for it in the first auction. That was a nice deal you got on your auction. Hopefully, I'll come across it at the Florida con.


Honestly, it's just another useless figure to add to my collection.  I am sick of the repaint variants Hasbro has produced. I rather waste my money for repaints on army builders. Thus the downfall of the completist syndrome.

Two packs should be enough for me. If I ever get back into Dio-Stories (which seems less and less likely every day) they're be really handy for that. I don't really display my Joes, so I can't justify building massive armies.

But yeah, the 6-pack looks to be the mother of all army-builders. I like the standard blues better than Vipers or CGs or BATS or whatever, so I'll have to make a real effort to get any if they don't make it up to Canada.

I got you covered if you want 2 packs. Just wait until they come out in the NY area first.

This order came from gijoeforesale but I'm not holding Jesse responsible. Mail theft does happen and the fact it was the start of December and Jesse uses big "GIJOE for sale stickers" must have made this box a target for any sticky finger mail room clerk with kids that was to cheap to spend his own money.


Jeese has been good to me in the past.  And hence I agree, something must have went wrong. Man, your having a bad spring of online luck.  Thus, I hope somebody in Canada gets new Joes (hopefully in this area so I can pick up the ones I need and don't have worry about packages getting lost).

It was the '97 Viper and a Sonic Viper, but those are coming to me in a trade. I guess now it would be 3 Red vest vipers that came with the repaint venome cycles. Or wait, what I really want is that case of joes I ordered ( 1 set of wave 7, one set of 7.5, 2 Funskool Tripwires) that went missing in the mail.


What online store was this.  There are couple of ones that come to mind that I wouldn't go near any more.

Yeah, that would be nice but how much can you really smuggle over the boarder? That would be a good story. Who has smuggled the most Joes here and what was it?


When Aaron and I went across the border in the fall, I think we brought back 200-300 bucks worth of Joes. I got Cobra Mountain (it's still a piece of junk in my books), Hoverstrike w/Mirage and some of the smaller repaint vehicles.  Aaron found most of the wave 7 and 8 figures he needed and the MCC.  So it wasn't all small stuff we brought back. The back of his car was packed full, and this includes ripping open the smaller items and shoved them into a bigger box.  

But with the 6 packs, I am just going to open them in the USA and leave the packaging there.  Toronto's garbage already goes State side so why distrurb the apple cart.  :D
