Hasbro Canada has once again given us the opportunity to ask them questions, which they will answer via a presentation at the Canadian Joe Meet on April 19th.
Ask your questions in this thread, and the top 10 to 15 (depending on the responses) will be sent to Hasbro.
This thread will be open until Tuesday the 8th at 10pm EST. After that we will hold 2 days of voting then send the questions off so that they can have time to put together their presentation.
Thanks again to Hasbro Canada.
Ask away, Joe fans!

Will we see a figure or vehicle exclusive to Canada?
ETA on GI Joe video game?
Where's my damn Sigma 6?!
-
1. Can we please have Canadian flags on vehicles or the Duke jetpack figure?
2. Is it likely we will see stores stock 2 cases of product rather than just 1?
Kudos for getting American carded stock into stores with the latest wave.
-
Will there be an official store in Canada that will carry the equivalent to America store exclusive vehicles?
How it going with the movie?
Canada has missed out on the first few waves of the 25th anniversary figures. is there any way Hasbro Canada on line could help those of us that new figures from wave 1?
What's better, poutine or fresh maple syrup?
If the annual Canadian Joe meet keeps growing, would it be possible for Hasbro Canada to work with Joe Canuck in producing an official G.I.Joe figure using the ARAH molds that we could purchase here?
and along the same lines:
Is there a way we Canadians can make the annual Canadian Joe meet an official, Hasbro endorsed event? We know there is a club in Texas but we would like to have one north of the boarder run by Joe Canuck.

1. Will TRU Canada be carrying the TRU exclusives?
2. Will anyone in Canada be carrying the Target exclusives?
3. ETA of future release dates - will they line up close with the US dates?

Will anyone be carrying the new comic packs?
How have sales been to this point of the 25th figures?
What do you have planned to promote the movie in Canada?
Will we be getting the movie related merchandise in Canada?
-

Really, it depends on the time of day.
-
I can't come up with any questions at this point in time.
-
Will we see any new characters introduced?
Will any of the Devil's Due characters get the 25th anniversary treatment?
Will the fans choice come back for the 25th anniversary?
Is the ARAH mold done with for now?
Will be see any of the comic packs like the amazing Dreadnok set come out on single cards?
Has Hasbro thought about moving into larger vehicles, like the Whale? (Please guys, we gotta ask about the Whale)
-
What are the chances popular characters from less popular GI Joe incarnations appear in the 25th line? Like Iron Claw from GI Joe Extreme, Sgt. Hacker from Spy Troops, or Lt. Stone from Sigma 6? Maybe as exclusives?
Will we see a "Name Your Joe" figure like the Steel Brigade in the near future?
GI Joe and Transformers have had several comic and cartoon crossovers, especially lately. Are there any plans to tap that crossover in some format? Possibly comic packs?
Who would win in a fight: Sgt. Slaughter or "The Fridge" William Perry? Can that fight be arranged? If so, could the winner get a 25th update to their ARAH figure?
-
Can you talk Mike Holmes into joining the ranks of stars turned Joes?
-
Let's keep this serious here, guys.
-
Sniper might of been serious. Mike Holmes does alot of work for charities in Canada.
Mind you, the odds that Hasbro would make another celebrity figure is slim to none - Holmes wouldn't even be in the top 100 choices I'm sure.
-
Let's keep this serious here, guys.
True. And Canadian based as well. I highly doubt Hasbro Canada has any pull with the comics to begin with.

Let's just say I have it on good authority that it's ok to ask questions about stuff in the USA and GIJOE in general...
-
And know I know.
-
We definitely need to ask:
1) How is the Canadian market going to get caught up on the waves we've missed up until this point.
2) What are the plans for releasing US (TARGET) exclusives in Canada? Hasbro needs to do better with the GI JOE line than the STAR WARS line as far as offering US exclusives to Canadians goes. It is disappointing to miss those exclusives and frustrating to track them down by other means than regular retail.
3) Will Walmart Canada continue to carry US packaged JOE figures?
-
It was stated before that the Hasbro Toy Shop would start to ship to Canada in the "Spring", Is there an official date when the Toy Shop will accept orders from Canadians, and ship them at a reasonable price to Canada?
Thanks
PS. Assuming this hasn't started as of yet, as I haven't checked the site lately.

Gijoe 25th questions not sure if these were asked yet.
1- When can we expect to see the new Canadian card art for the figures in stores?
2- Will we be getting all of the figures that the states gets as the line goes forward, like we did in the 80's?
3- Will the Canadian releases see any of the variant figures that were purposly released in the states. For example Snake-eyes with the black wolf?
4- Is Hasbro Canada going to allow sales directly form there web site like they were considering and if so is there a time frame yet as this was mentioned awhile back?
5- How come Hasbro didn't add flag points to the new 25th anniversary figures, and is there a posiblity that they might add them in the future?
6-Now that Hasbro has fixed the issue with mail in figures, when might we see a mail in figure that is availible to Canada as we missed out on the DOC fiigure?
7- Why are the prices a lot more in Canada for the 25th figures compared to that in the states when the Canadian dollar is almost on par with the US dollar, especially since our packaging is cheaper to make (having only one generic picture for joes and one for cobras, and no picture at the moment) then the US ones that have a different picture for each figure?
-
Everyone's asked what I want to know so I'll just reiterate
Are we going to see the complete 25th anniversary waves and will Walmart be stoking more product like the cartoon packs. I really want those
-
it would be nice to have a supplier in canada that we can buy stuff like rubber hose and that thing that holds the legs and mid that t hook thing rubber bands and set it up thru the joe canuck store and stands comics and canadian movies cartoons and any thing that we cant get any where we can buy cases from hasbro and not from a dealer that mite charge more we can bulk its cheeper i all so like to see a offer from hasbro for them dam flag points i got a model box full may be we could get special figures vehicles that would be so cool ::) :P :cobra: they do plays with joe figures
-
Please tell me how your going to market these toys on a national level? I haven't seen a commerical or anything besides the hobby groups spreading the word about the 25th issue figs. Or am I not watching enough tv? Are you planning on pushing stores to carry your products?
When can I get some accessory packs? especially things like computers etc.
Any chance of doing some kind of Build-a-Pit item?
-
Will Hasbro be releasing an army builder wave of figures? Something like a case of just BATS, Crimson Guard and other Cobra troops? This would go over very well if they sold this on line from Hasbro Canada.
-
Topic will be closed at 10pm tonight! A little more than 6 hours to go!
-
How much rocket fuel would a 1:1 scale Trouble Bubble need to get me from my house to work?
This summer, the Hasbro team said ceratin figures "aren't in the works right now" that have since been released, like the Python Patrol Officer and the upcoming Snow Serpent. What is the minimum development time on a 25th figure, repainted or otherwise?
