General Joe Talk / Re: GI Joe Complete Series on DVD
« on: November 17, 2009, 10:21:11 PM »
HMV in London had several at 119 and Walmart had tons of them, every DVD shop in the mall actually had copies. This is being very well distributed in Canada I guess. I was worried it wouldn't show up here but I couldn't justify importing it from Shout. The retail cost seems pretty easy to handle surprisingly.

Found these at Pond Mills Zellers in London, grabbed up two SNAKES even though they were criminally priced. A Night Raven for $30 was a good deal though. And I have my eyes on that new X-Wing that's on sale this week for $30 off. There weren't any rescue mission packs today at two different Z's, I was hoping to get them on sale.

General Joe Talk / Re: Target Exclusive Past & Present set is out...

I ordered the Past and Present set on Target a couple weeks ago, I don't think it's shipped yet though.

If you do notice the Serpent Armor wave can you PM me here or on YoJoe? I find the Target site a real bear to keep checking. Lucky for me I have a home in the US to send orders to. :)

No sign of these at Masonville Zellers in London but they had about 30 of the rescue mission sets for some reason. Either someone got these and left no trace or they never stocked them.

I still think these will show up more for Target in stores soon. If ours are trilingual, they are not the same stock as Target would get anyway, the first wave I have has no French or Spanish printing at all, I am sure wave 2 has been made the same way. I just want them in any case.

It's sad to see ROC grinding to a halt at my local retail. But it's clear that every department store feels burned by the summer glut of Dukes, Baroness and Destros. I hope Christmas shoppers can help move some of the leftovers from July but I am not holding my breath.

The only upside I can see to these presumably being mistakenly super-overpriced is that maybe they will still be on a shelf when I get a chance to be out and about during Zellers business hours.

With all the talk of the SNAKE and jet pack, I don't even know what the other two sets are, anyone care to enlighten me?

Even though I will pay it, I can't help but feel HBC made an error on the price. I got all four of the first wave from Target for 9.99 each!

Saw the RHINO in London, Highbury Zellers this morning. They had a bunch.

At first I was kind of annoyed, I was one of the early owners, and paid $80 and shipping. The purchase was one of the most overpriced Joe items I've ever bought. When I did the math and saw that Zellers would barely be any less than I paid four months ago to import it, I couldn't believe it. At that price, I am glad I didn't wait. If they clearance them under $40, I'll buy an extra and sell Rampage. It's a nice vehicle but really not worth nearly a hundred bucks after tax.

Well I don't make it to any Zellers other than Highbury very often, so your luck in London shouldn't be too bad most of the time. I haven't even ever been to the one out in Westmount. There is someone else on the Joes in the area besides I guess. Let's just hope there's Serpent Armor for everyone before long.

General Joe Talk / Re: Did Resolute come out today?
« on: November 04, 2009, 12:11:33 AM »
Did they BD Resolute or just the film? I don't want the film, not really my bag, but I liked Resolute pretty well.

As for the TV show, the footlocker set should be out in Canada next week so I asked for it for X-mas.

Aren't these the same class of product that is $9.99 at Target?

I don't care if they're repaints, but it is frustrating not knowing if these will ever show up at Zellers. Personally I'd buy any of the ROC 3.75 stuff just because I like buying toys at retail. Trading for stuff or paying a lot to get it imported takes nearly all the fun out of toy collecting for me. Hasbro could have had me as a completionist for this line if they'd just reined it in a bit. Even if they'd only had 50% of the ROC stuff they've released it would have still been more than enough and tough to keep up with. As I am kind of giving up. Whatever I find at retail is what I get.
