It's that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the leaves are turning red, the kids are back in school and PTE has arrived at Hart for the Christmas shopping season. 

I found these at Hart on the South Shore. They weren't on the shelves yet. They were stacked in a pile on the floor near the toy section. A couple of employees were busy resetting the toy section, they left the PTE stuff out until the proper shelves were installed. Variety was lacking compared to previous years. Besides these, I only saw the new VAMP-like jeep. I hope that they are expecting more shipments. I'd love to get a Main Battle Tank or two and I'm still waiting for the Patrol Boat.

Darn, I'm sorry to hear that. I was thinking of upgrading my membership to have access to the Adventure Team stuff as well. I guess I'll wait and see when it comes out.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I'm a trooper level (free) member of the GIJCC (GIJoe Collector's Club). Basically, all I get are emails a few times a year. I got one tonight with a bunch of Labour-day specials at the club store and that has me debating whether to upgrade to Officer level membership. I checked the cost and I'm a little confused. It offers me 3 choices:

Third Class mail: 42$
First Class Mail: 42$
Canada Airmail: 63$

As a canuck, do I have to go with the third (most expensive) option?

Thanks,

OB

I started my GI Joe day with a trip to TRU on my lunch hour. I figured that 5$ was a great price for some fodder. To my surprise, they had the Paris Pursuit wave. Picked up RA Scarlett, RA Duke x2, PP SE x3 and a Steel Crusher.

I finished work a few minutes before 3pm and caught the 3:10 showing of ROC. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It really is the cartoon come to life. It reminded me of how I used to play with my Joes when I was a kid. The opening scene with Snake Eyes (and the other Joes) taking down those Vipers in the forrest gave me chills. I was a bit disappointed with the ending, but overall, it was a fun movie.

After the movie, I crossed the street to the mall. Winners had some leftover 25th figs. I picked up a BAT and Wraith. After that I checked a small hobby store and they also had some 25th figs. Found an Airborne and 2 EELS!

To top it all off, I got home and a small package was waiting for me in my mailbox. It contained 3 25th Vipers and a couple of black Resolute CCs I got cheap on Ebay.

Today was a great GI Joe day!

Here on Montreal's South Shore, the local Zellers had a pallet in the middle of the aisle full of singles, alpha vehicles and Night Ravens. It was actually out about a week before the first sightings in the US. It's been picked pretty clean (I contributed to that a little more than I should have   :wink:) All that's left are a bunch of Destros, Baronesses, Vipers, a couple of Night Ravens and a single Mole Pod. I haven't seen any ROC at other Montrea-area Zellers yet.

Just got back from TRU. Picked up a couple Stones, Desert Dukes and more Zartans for customs. I had no problem getting them to refund the difference from the Joes I bought last week at 9.99$.

I also did the same thing with the Joes I bought at Zellers the over the last two weeks. I simply needed to bring in the TRU flyer and my bills. They refunded the difference. I didn't know that Zellers price-matched. Obviously, I spent that cash on Joes at TRU 

Also went to Walmart, they had the Paris Pursuit wave. PP Snake Eyes is incredible! All the RoC Joes I've bought so far are for customs except him. He's going on the shelf as is. I also got a couple of Reactive Armour Dukes. I was going to pick up a Cobra Commander but passed.
