General Joe Talk / Battle Damaged B.A.T. Images
« on: December 05, 2008, 11:53:38 AM »
Yojoe has pictures of the upcoming damaged B.A.T.

http://yojoe.com/magazine/2008/12/05_news.shtml

It looks pretty good.  Unlike, the first version (aka plastic crack), I don't think I will army building the heck of it though.  Plus this B.A.T. appears to have no extra arm attachments.  Boo. 

Also, the carded back shows the up coming figures.  Night Force Falcon (maybe Hasbro should fix the first 25th crappy version that came out instead), Zap, Firefly, Storm Shadow and silhouettes for Roadblock (I suspect Tiger Force) and Destro (again?).

Off Topic / ebay: Canadian power sellers have to file taxes
« on: November 17, 2008, 01:22:07 PM »
Looks like ebay lost some court case and hence:

Quote
Canadians who auction their goods on eBay can now expect to have their personal information released to the Canada Revenue Agency.

The online auction site has sent a letter to affected customers telling them the law now requires it to send the tax agency the names and gross sales figures of so-called "power sellers." These are eBay sellers who make more than US$1,000 a month in sales over three consecutive months on the site.

"While eBay strenuously objects to these requests made by the CRA, we are obliged to comply with the legal ruling," the company said in the letter.

The company is following a ruling by the Federal Court of Appeal last April, which upheld a lower court decision ordering the company to release personal information about their users' sales activities. .....

Once again, "big brother" wants there piece of the pie, including used goods that have been already taxed.   That is the part that really annoys me and I don't even sell on ebay.   Even more reason to set up shop at a toy show or at a convension to pocket the money.

I am actually think of getting some of those Combat Heroes.  The Serpentor one has that disco "Staying Alive" feeling.  ;D

Ontario / TRU Exclusive Senior Ranking Officer Wave 2 Sets Out
« on: September 22, 2008, 11:40:35 PM »
I managed to snag the Iron Grenadier Command and G.I.JOE Air Command sets today at my local TRU.   Yes, that's right, TRU exclusives are now in Canada.  I missed out on the G.I.JOE Sea Command set.  Oh well.  At least it's not an army builder set so it shouldn't be hard to find.  $14.99 CAN a set.

I really dig the Undertow figure.  It looks to be a nice addition for the '05 General Mayhem themed set

General Joe Talk / Wave 10 hi res pictures - Carded and figure shots
« on: August 08, 2008, 12:10:32 PM »
Thanks to Lance Failnik  :shifty: ;D

TF Duke:  Can it really be.  Those pathetic Duke arms that have been total fail for this line have been replaced?  About freaking time.  Still has a diaper crotch thought.  :-

Wraith:  As much as I like new character blood in the line, this figure doesn't cut it for me. He looks like a rejected VvV Bat mold.

So this even numbered wave is a win for me.

General Joe Talk / GI Joe: Resolute (new cartoon) footage on Youtube
« on: August 06, 2008, 04:50:54 PM »
saw this buried in a thread on joecustoms.  The quality is ok for viewing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zITV5dmBl3k

After watching this, I am confused.   ??? Is this cartoon aimed for adults or kids?

Atilla the Hun corpse?  WTF I am going to do with that.   Otherwise, I like the Dusty and some what dig the Serpentor.   The Bat is still a fail with that stupid rocket launcher.

General Joe Talk / 25th Anniversary rumoured list
« on: July 20, 2008, 09:11:24 PM »
Anybody following what is rumoured to be coming out?  Ed and I talked about this on the weekend but we both had a tough time re-calling what rumoured figures were going to be made later in 2008 and early 2009.   I knew a list existed that kepted track of all this.

Ontario / Wave 3 Comic Packs at TRU - GTA area
« on: April 09, 2008, 05:14:27 PM »
I saw the full set today (Ace/Wild Weasel, Tomax/Xamot, Crimson Guard/Cobra Officer, Battle Damage Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow) at the Whitby TRU.  12.99 each

Somebody at TRU needs to explain why a single pack costs 9.99 and a comic two pack costs 12.99.
