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.

Discovered that TRU has a new exclusive line of toys and figures out
called True Heros, which they have replaced Gi Joe with. You cannot
buy Gi Joe at TRU anymore.
The sets and toys are BIG, and perfectly scaled to fit into the Gi Joe
world(hmmmm). The prices are very low for what you get. Most sets
include 2-3 figures along with the Tank, Helicoptor, Boat etc etc.
I think everyone should at least check these out. Looked pretty decent.

I did not buy any, but I thought I would mention them.
Not Joe that`s for sure.

Look for Power Team Elite vehicules (True Heroes is crap).. you can find them at Giant Tiger, Hart, in the Sears catalogue and in several other places.. prices are low too!

Yeah, you are right. The Team Elite looks to be much more along the
lines of Gi Joe, certainly where quality is concerned. Thanks for the
heads up about this other line.

They make a nice addition to the Joe Universe, they go on say for 35% off all the time so check often.

Yep, forget True Heros folks.
Check out www.powerteamfigures.com for the full website.
Now, these toys look damn good, and are the exact same
scale to the tee as Gi Joe.
Some great and quite original figures and vehicles as well.

Cheers
Dale
