Ontario / Serpent Armor, Rocket Pack, etc.
« on: November 03, 2009, 10:03:08 AM »
Someone over at actionfigurenews.ca is claiming to have found the following at Zellers (Brentwood Town Centre) for $29.99 each:

Wet-Suit w/Dragonfish
Storm Shadow w/Arashikage Cycle
Air Viper w/Rocket Pack
Cobra Viper Commando w/Serpent Armor

and

Rescue Mission 4 packs.

Take that for what it is.  A single sighting, but it could mean a trip to Zellers to confirm.

General Joe Talk / China's GI JOE using PTE toys.

Saw this on another board.

All I can say is sweet!!!!!  If they did a resolute show, I would love to see something like these guys to replace the October Guard as an alternate to the JOEs.

General Joe Talk / What's your top 5 "MODERN" era vehicles.
« on: October 26, 2009, 05:43:15 PM »
I was talking with a friend today and we started discussing what our favourite "Modern era" vehicles were.  That meant to us something "new" made in the past 10 years (2000 on).  We excluded remade/retooled ARAH vehicles (Ghost hawk, Vamp, etc.).  It was kind of surprising how different we were on our choices.  He leaned more towards "fantasy" designs, while I was closer to realistic designs.

His choices were:

Sting Raider
Defense Mech
Pulverizer
Night Adder
Hoverstrike

My choices were:

Thunderwing Jet
Grizzly Tank
Rhino
Ringneck
R.O.C.C.

What about you guys?

General Joe Talk / So, wave 3 Alpha vehicles look to be on hold.

So, wave 3 Alpha vehicles look to be on hold.

I read up on theterrordrome.com about this.

Supposedly a site that I refuse to acknowledge is reporting that wave 3 is either cancelled or on hold.  Supposedly GIJCC sent out an email cancelling orders for wave 3 Alpha vehicles.

I get the feeling from reading elsewhere that it is on hold until 2010, and it may end up being like wave 5 (Stinger, etc).  Considering most of them are not a big deal to me I won't mind, but if you are absolutely desperate, then maybe you need to get on Ebay and find some now.

Most of the talk seems to indicate that Hasbro is going to scale back ROC/JOE in 2010 because of excess product currently on shelves.

General Joe Talk / Hasbro news: GI JOE TV, ROC sequel, etc.

Check it out here on enewsi.com:

So it looks like we are getting a new show in 2010.  Along with another TF show.  Hopefully it will be something closer to Resolute, though I doubt it actually will be Resolute. 

Also it looks like ROC is getting a sequel, but no confirmation on anything.

Apparently we will find out more on Nov. 5th.

Ontario / Red Fang, Night Adder, etc
« on: October 14, 2009, 09:26:43 AM »
Found Red Fang, Kamakura, Charbroil, Night Adder, Para Viper, Arctic SE &SS, etc. At Walmart (Pharmacy & Eglinton).  Bought Red Fang, Night Adder, Charbroil & Para-Viper.

Ontario / Snarler, Sky Sweeper & Mantis
« on: October 13, 2009, 10:38:03 AM »
Found these 3 today at the Walmart at Hwy. 7 & Jane.

Passed on the Snarler since I don't particularly care for it or 2 repaints of figs I already have.  $19.92+tax.

Of note as well, the Snarler box is about 2/3 as wide as the regular Alpha wave boxes.  Kind of weird.

General Joe Talk / SWEET!! ROC made top 10 of summer movies.

Of course ROTF was number one.

However it was great to see that on a list that covers May 1st to Sept. 7th, that ROC made the top ten.

Considering it was the only August release on the list and that it was only a month of ticket sales, it was really great to see.  I had my doubts about the sequel, but I guess those are completely gone now.  I just wonder what the take might have been if the movie were released earlier.

Ontario / ROC figures at TRU.
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:33:43 AM »
Since there wasn't a specific thread, I thought I would post.

The latest wave (Flash, PITT Commando, etc) were at Victoria Park/Lawrence this morning.  A bunch.  Still no BBQ or Firefly exclusives.
