General Joe Talk / Pleasantly surprised with new Joe items
« on: August 12, 2010, 07:26:13 PM »
There are a couple items I just acquired that I was originally going to pass on and am glad I didn't.

First was the POC HISS.  Although it has some flaws and can never replace the original HISS, I am rather impressed with it over all.  Soon to have a desert camo paint job!

Second was the Resolute GI Joe 7 pack and Resolute Snake Eyes in particular.  I loved the Cobra pack at first site minus the Storm Shadow and redone CC. 
I didn't want the Joe pack because of the cartoonie characters and not another SE, already have the City Strike SE, however this set is amazingly sculpted and Resolute SE looks really really cool all decked out in his gear.

Anyone else pleasantly surprised with the new stuff so far?

« on: April 27, 2010, 03:29:34 PM »
From the looks of it the new Resolute 7-packs aren't going to be cheap.  mind you we are getting 14 new sculpted figures.

$35 to $40 US and $45 to $50 CAN each
Based on SmallJoes and Goldenagetoys preorders.

U.S. & International / Joe hunt in the States
« on: February 07, 2010, 02:19:29 PM »
A few weeks back I was in the States and came across the Target Past/Present set and also saw the Rescue Mission Exclusive four pack and they had a ton of them on clearance for $9.99.  Which were sold out the next trip back to Target.  A trip to Zellers produced a ton of  Rescue Mission Exclusive four packs but for regular price-$34.99.  The US Rino's are now on clearance for $34.99.
Canadian stores are going to blow it for us to get future exclusives because of the price difference and over stock.
This past week I ventured to Walmart once I found that the Battle set exclusives weren't going to be available here.  But everywhere I looked they didn't have them or never even received them.  This was disappointing because I bought the Cobra Surveillance set for $23US including shipping off Ebay, it's a cool set and I wouldn't mind a couple of the other ones.
After Walmart I went to Toys R Us and was presently surprised that the Sting Raider Exclusive(Moccasin)repaint was available ($19.99) and the two new single figure exclusives were out; Arctic Doc and Arctic Shipwreck($7.99).  The front package has Rise Of Cobra and the back has a Pursuit of Cobra tie in.
the US website has the Doc and the Sting  Raider up for sale as well.
Also, some K-Mart stores have the Rise Of Cobra Exclusive 4 packs(Desert ambush Duke, Heavyduty and a brown Neo Viper and IG figure) for sale $20.00
So my trip was somewhat fruitful.

Ontario / TRU 5 pack exlusives
« on: December 04, 2009, 09:59:10 AM »
TRU St. Catharines had the new ROC five packs as of last night.  About 4 of each.  Didn't have the price up yet and I passed on them. 
The deco job on the Joe pack looked slapped on and cheap and I don't need a figure using Covergirl's body and Helix's head just to call it DailTone to create a new figure.(make my own if I need one)
I already got the NightOps Duke from Ebay for the Cobra pack and have enough vipers to not justify buying the set..

General Joe Talk / Wave 5 Ripcord
« on: November 18, 2009, 11:18:55 AM »
I was in Buffalo to pick my wife up at the Airport and had some time to kill.  So I went to the local Walmart to check out the Joes. 
The Joe display had the same Joes as always, then I saw on a rack in front of the isle there were more Joes at first glance they had all the same usual figures except at the bottom was the wave 5 Ripcord in Jungle camo.  He was the only wave 5 figure there and originally I wasn't going to get that figure out of the assortment but then I noticed the figures were on sale for $5 U.S., so I scooped him up and it came out to just under $7 because I paid in Canadian and our dollar was still strong.
I have to say he is a pretty cool looking figure once out of package.

Sorry no photos need new camera--dropped it one too many times I guess.

General Joe Talk / U.S. Target promotion
« on: November 08, 2009, 03:57:55 PM »
For you folks who are planning a trip to the States in the near future.  Target has a promotion on through their web site with a printable web coupon.  Where you get 3 free figures with purchase of the Pit set($99.99).  Not a bad deal if you want the Pit and have been thinking of caving on that price.  I wish Zellers would have the same promotion.

General Joe Talk / GIJoe The Rise Of Cobra sequel tidbits
« on: November 05, 2009, 06:50:53 PM »
I just finished watching the commentary for the movie and they elude to a few things that will show up in the sequel, such as Storm Shadow(still alive) not being the one who killed the Hard Master and Dr. Mindbender having a larger role in the next movie.

For Sale or Trade / Rowdy Roddy Piper figure
« on: October 21, 2009, 08:11:26 PM »
It was suggested to me to post that I have my Con. Exclusive Rowdy Roddy Piper up for auction on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... :MESELX:IT

The figure is one of my most valued and I regret having to part withl it.  Due to an untimely disaster in my basement that I won't go into details about and the fact that I refuse to part with my CanJoeCon and Meet items.  Therefore Piper is the next best thing. 

Don't feel bad, the bright side is the funds will be used to help rebuild my basement that will include a new display wall for my other Joes.
