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...

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

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.
