Hey Canprime,

If anyone is selling off extra Crimson Vipers and not expecting the moon for then I would love to get one.

Send me a PM it you are able to grab me one.

What do you consider you price range?
I'd rather not go over $20 US but if it's only a couple bucks more, I can work with it.

That said if somebody sells then for less (i doubt it, but have to put it out there) than if $25 gets me multiples then go ahead.

Of course I'll throw a couple bucks on top of that to cover shipping if you are successful.

Tell the guy with the HATE set they have great taste.

I've lived in South Surrey for , and I know it well enough......and  all of Surrey largely gets undeserved bad press.
Most Lower Mainland communities do, even the DTES..........okay, well maybe not the DTES.

Lived in the heart of Whalley for 20+ years, I seen a lot of the worst Surrey has had, and it's no where as bad as the rumor mill makes it.
But the DTES, there is a reason it's called the worst postal code in the country. My GF just quit her job, where one of the buildings she had to goto is right on the edge of the DTES, and to be blunt, I'm glad i'm not having to worry about her being down there anymore.

But to give you an idea of something on this:
I currently live in what is described as the 9th most dangerous city in the world, and the most dangerous city in Canada.

Now, this is something of a running joke, because these "statistics" are based upon presumptions made via population.
Last year, my city had two murders.
The two largest cities in Canada (Toronto and Vancouver) had something like 60 and 40 murders respectively.
IIRC, the two murders in my city were stabbings.

That said ARROW, we know that titles of that nature exist for headlines and soundbites, and don't always reflect the actual place.

Take in point Surrey, BC. It was labeled the Car Theft Capital of North America a couple years ago, and that title help to reinforce a number of old out-dated misconceptions about Surrey that people in BC and parts of the rest of the country talk about making it seem like a crime infested hellhole.

The actual fact is that Surrey is one of the fastest growing communities in North America. it has a lower per-person crime rate that most of the other cities around Vancouver, and the whole point about the car theft isn't that cars were being stolen here, but that a number of gangs were all using the Peach Arch border crossing (Surrey, BC/Blaine, Washington) to smuggle the cars into the US, and that the Surrey RCMP were recovering a number of stolen vehicles from all over the Western provinces as they were coming thru.

GDI, I only just bought PP Storm Shadow, PP Snake-eyes, Cobra Commander and Desert Scarlett this morning.

Well I still have the receipt, maybe if I can find a flyer for the sale, I can get a refund or more figures from Wal-mart.

Customs / Part swaps are fun.

For one, my collection isn't huge but I do like having something special, as I suck at painting and mods, for now I am happy to swap parts.

TRU Exclusives. Hopefully they come to Canada.


That is a sweet Firefly, even if just using the figure for parts. I like the post under the picures about using the body with resolute Duke's head to make Black-out.

Great news for us.  SNAKE ARMOR.:)
I'm very happy and i will get a few of these.  The problem is we will have to pay big price and shipping for these. >:(

Maybe not.  At the CON the Hasbro Canada rep stated that all the exclusive would be picked up in Canada.  So hopefully he wasn't pulling our legs.

At least for the Transformer Target exclusives, they have been released thru Zellers. I would imagine that Hasbro Canada would use the same channels for the Joe exclusives. But be prepared for possible mark up.

Note to everyone that Walmart and Zellers will price match this flier. So if your TRU has a limited selection, you might be able to get a decent price on the ones you find at other stores.

Sadly around my parts, TRU is at least a wave ahead of Zellers, and Wal*mart. But they all seem to be selling well.
