Off Topic / Re: Marvel 3 3/4" figures now at Walmart. Also DC figs.

Thanks pdaat:

We picked up Spiderman, Ironman, Silver Surfer and DareDevil this weekend and my sons (and Daddy) love them. I think we will have to get the rest. Mom is not pleased.

We had a great battle Saturday night with the superheroes helping the Joes defeat Cobra. The poor Cobras were completely overwhelmed, many of them being crushed by thrown tanks, jeeps and a bridge layer! Storm Shadow had a particularly difficult evening.

Does anyone who has been to ToysRUs lately know if most stores have all of them in stock or am I better off ordering on-line rather then making mutliple stops do many different stores?

If the Canadian file cards bug you (I dont like them either) you can go to yojoe.com, download the American filecard pictures, resize them to 71% and print them on some sturdy paper! That will keep all your filecards the same size and all in English if you do get some Canadian carded figures. Thats what I have done!

Hi Craig:

If you see the Joes on sale let me know and I will pop over myself to pick some up! 40% off would be a great price. I paid full price of $8.99 price for Spirit on Friday at Silver Snail there but there are others left that I would like to pick up! (My eldest was home sick with the trots so he needed something special from Daddy).

Condor Knight was nice, pleasant to deal with and had lots of Joes to buy! My son is very happy with his VAMP so far (he has not gotten anything else yet as his Mom will not allow it).

I would suggest you utilize his services yojoeyo. The prices and selection are much better then Toys R Us!

Thanks very much for all the helpful hints everyone. I am glad to have found such a nice and helpful forum.

I am bidding on an e-bay lot but if it gets to expensive (which is likely) I will be contacting you Conder Night and taking a walk down to Silver Snail at lunch!

You could always try a local guy like me

A lot of my 25th figures are from 9.99 to 15.99 depending on the figure and the vehicles are cheap starting at 14.99

Check out my Sign line for the line to my site or check the main page for my sponsor link

Sir you misrepresent yourself. The air trooper is only $5.99! And I always prefer the local guy. Your prices and selection are nice and the vehicle prices and comic packs are quite inexpensive compared to what I saw at Toys R Us. Where abouts are you located? It would be nice to treat the boys to a special G.I. Joe Valentines present if shipping would take too long and you are in the area. Of course that means the wife will need to get flowers and chocolates as well but I think it is worth the sacrifice.

By the way, whats the difference between guys with foil and those without (ie the Cobra Viper)? For me I think the cheapest is the best as it will be ripped out and manhandled as soon as it gets here but I was curious.

Thanks Arrow:

I will give Walmart and Zellers a try. As much as I dislike going there it is worth it for the kids! I so enjoy buying toys and saying they are for the kids when I know they are really for both of us!

I live in the West-End of Toronto and work down-town so have pretty good access to most places in the GTA if anyone knows a good spot. I have no problem ordering on-line either if you know some good spots as long as I don't get the beat-down from shipping costs!

Thanks again.

Mike

Hi folks:

Sorry so start a new thread with my first post but was not sure exactly where to ask this one.

My eldest son has gotten old enough to introduce to G.I. Joe (finally at just over 4) and he has taken to them much like his old man. We are having a great time watching me DVDs of all the old episodes. I have picked up a few comic packs for him at the local Toys R Us but the selection is quite limited.

He is not picky on who he gets and I cant find about half of my old Joes so duplication is not a big deal. Anyone know the easiest and cheapest way to get my hands on some of the new Joes for him (and me :)?

Nice forum here for Canadian fans.

All the best.

Mike
