So if I bought some RoC stuff in the last week and still have my receipt, can I get a price adjustment? How?

Take the receipts to customer service and let them know you would like a price adjustment for the items that are on sale.  I did it this morning no problem.  I used the savings to get my 3rd Serpent Armor.  AWESOME ITEM!!!!!!!

D'OH, beaten by Storm Shadow

All Across Canada / Zellers sale Nov. 13th-19th.
« on: November 13, 2009, 10:38:48 AM »
So there is a sale this week.  25% off all JOE figures/vehicles.  While not great on some items, it does knock down the price to a more reasonable amount for some things.

Of course the Target exclusive packs are now down to $22.50.
The PP Conquest & TF Tiger Rat are down to $22.50
The Rhino is now $60.

So while not too bad, it is still better than full price.  Especially those jets.  However I will wait until a better deal, at least 30% off, for the jets.

I'd hate to think what the price would be at Zellers for this set!

Also, I remember at the JoeCon that this was the only vehicle set planned.  The next couple are apparently going to be figure-only.  However, as said, if they do well further vehicle sets could happen.  Although I would say it is fairly safe to assume that any future vehicle sets would be "alpha" class vehicles. 

I could see the Ferret/Snake-whatever being a set.

Well it looks like there is a sale on all Joe toys starting tomorrow.  Apparently 25% off so that would make them around $21 before tax.  Not great, but better.  I know I'll be going in for my price adjustment.

Found these (4 sets) at Eglinton/Birchmount.  Funny thing about the price.  The cashier rang in 2 and did a double take on the price.  She even said that it was expensive.

And I found the SNAKE sets (2 of them!) today. Yes, I paid the $30 and they are totally worth it.

FINALLY!!!!!!!

So, where and what kind of quantities were out on the shelves?

Well 2 Best Buys today and no luck.  First one said they didn't get their order. Second one did a little more checking and found no GTA store has an order yet even though it was supposed to be out today.  She said something about Edmonton still distributing them.  Hopefully in the next few days.

The comic (and from what I hear, the novel) adaptation of Rise Of Cobra has Storm Shadow outright say that he was not the one who killed the Hard Master.
Can't understand why they'd leave something like that out of the movie itself, though.

I read somewhere that the ending didn't test well with audiences.  Originally they left that part in the movie where SS tells SE that he didn't kill their master.  Unfortunately that made SE look like a killer in the audiences eyes because he killed SS even knowing he didn't kill their master.  So they cut it from the movie to keep SE more heroic.

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Re: 2009 Con Set eBay trends
« on: November 05, 2009, 04:21:35 PM »
Thanks for doing the math.  It's a nice average, but unfortunately the early high bids ($700 range) have skewed the average.  The last two had an amount below the average and 1 sold while the other didn't.  The $400s look to be the current average, but on Ebay timing is also a factor (of course). 

All I know is that if I ever have to sell my set I'm going to pump up the rhetoric on how, according to experts (MIKE ;D), there appears to only be approximately 85 complete sets left in the world!!!!

I agree with all of this, and you did a great job with all of it - but I was thinking more of the figures. I just can't see a customized figure being considered c10. 

Agreed.  It's like a baseball card with autograph on it.  The autograph ruins the condition of the card.

As a card, but it opens it up to a whole new market as a collectible.

Agreed.  Look at Realboss's recent Rowdy Roddy Piper auction.  It sold for over $300 and it was autographed by Roddy himself.  Where the previous few auctions of that figure never made it to $300.  An autograph, especially from someone well loved, or rarely signed usually only increases the value of an item.

Zellers (Gerrard Square) has the entire wave except for Kamakura.  They are still there as I already have this wave.
