Title: Giant Tiger Power Team Elite Humvee
Post by: morgardee on November 23, 2004, 05:25:52 PM
Just got back from the Giant Tiger near my house and they have the Power Team Elite Humvee's in stock for $19.99 each. They have the army version and SWAT version. I didn't pick one up (yet  :shifty: ) as it's time to spend money on others, but maybe next month. I looked at the back and there are all sorts of cool vehicles. if I ever see that Jet on the back, forget Christmas shopping, I'd buy that in a second.

Should I post this here or in the Ontario sightings section?

meh?

I don't care where it's posted.
It's off-topic from Joes.... yet it is a sighting....

I know.... I'll let one of the Mods of this section decide!... just not me.

Well, the Provincial forums say:

"Post any sightings of G.I. Joe figures in your area"

As this is not G.I. Joe, I'd say no.

At the same time, I think a single "Non-Gijoe Toy Sightings" forum SHOULD exist in the Canadian Sightings section. One that would cover all of Canada.

I love the PowerTeam Elite Humvee - it works great alongside the hasbro one - and way better than the BBI version - at a fraction of the price.
I picked mine up from Sears - it along with the F18 are in the WishBook.

However I have never seen the SWAT version - anyone have a link to a picture of it?

Just like I thought, these are now marked down 1/2 price, so now they cost $9.99. Hey Raptor, time to raid the Giant Tiger stores. Mind you, my wife just bought me something from Giant Tiger yesterday and it might be one of those, so I have to wait until after Christmas to buy.

I moved it here....It's close enough to be GIJoe-related, PTE is not a huge stretch from GIJoe. Besides, I think I saw a Star Wars sighting at this section one time.

That's cool. If I didn't own the GIJoe Jungle Strike humvee, I would get it. Just like Dave, if I see the jet, I'd buy it in a blink of an eye.

Just to bring this topic back up, I noticed GIJOEHQ has these Humvee's for sale but are calling them exclusive to their website. I don't get it. These things were at Giant Tiger before Christmas.

Heck, I paid $9.99 Canadian for mine after Christmas when they went on sale. Looks exactly the same as the one I have.

yeah, same as I got, I went back to pick up some more but they were all sold out.
To bad as on of the bars that make up the grill on the hood of mine has cracked - no idea how it happened.

Glad I only paid $9.99 and not 21.99 plus shipping (US)
