The figure 2 packs were also limited. The only army builders I saw were the PP Viper/Tele Viper, Bat v4/Bat IIv3.2, Nightcreeper/Cobra Ninja Trooper and Electric Eel. 3 bucks a pack.

all they had was Gung-Ho/Grunt and NC/Ninja Viper packs, Patriot Grizzly and HISS IV.
On the Transformers front - Sharkticon, Downshift, Strongarm, Offshoot and Insecticon from Energon and a ton of Armada Laserbeaks.
Still plenty of cool Batman and TMNT stuff for the kiddies though.

I never had the BTR Barrel Roll figure. I'd like to know if they have any other of the later BTR sets. I have the common ones from the first wave but that's all. Anyone know what Miko has in the way of BTR?
Same crap from the year before. Nothing new.

Was there any Gi joe stuff left at the Richmond Hills location? I was thinking about heading down this sunday from Kitchener. Is it worth my drive?
Let me know.
thanks
Mike

There's plenty of other stuff (TMNT, Batman, Barbie) if you're doing toy drives. It's just that the Joe/Transformers selection this year is fairly awful.
Post by: Pete The Greek on September 22, 2006, 10:34:15 PM
- one Cobra Hiss IV
- a bunch of the Battle Hornets/Neo Viper & Neutralizers/Backblast
- one BTR Cobra Raven/Wild Weasel
So who knows if they will re-stock the two packs as the pegs were empty, just like when I went back on day 1, hoping to find some re-stocked 2 packs.
If your going just to find GI JOEs, you will be highly disappointed. Lots of other toys though.

Any wrestling this year? I haven't seen any for 2 years now.

What was the price approx. on these item if you remember. I don't have the following in my collection. It might be cheaper for me to get them off
ebay.
- one Cobra Hiss IV
- a bunch of the Battle Hornets/Neo Viper
- Neutralizers/Backblast
Thanks

None, from what I saw.

They have an entire palat at the back full of joe, and they are more than happy to crack a box or two open at your request. Ask for stinky. :lol:

I went today and picked up 25 2 packs at $3 each - They opened 3 cases for me. I left a bunch of Python patrol on the shelves, but I snagged all the BATS. ;-)
Wow that's a lot of toys.
And you have room for this stuff?

I missed out again, but I bought some Corps 3 packs, which aren't so bad for the money. Im just going to make them into cobra infantry fodder.
again, thanks Pete and the others for keeping us posted on joe sightings, I'd like to know when miko restocks their joes.

raptor, were they canadian card?
Trilingual card. They have the stickers on them, and come with paper filecards badly mispelled in 3 langauges. One of the filcards is written in a langauge that is in some ways similar to english.
And Jon, figures are only little. :D They're easy to store. Displaying them will prove a little more challenging.

Is this still going on? I'd dig a Barrel Roll at that price.
Two years to late. They were around in 2004.

BTR Barrel Roll $2
I meant BTR Barrel Roll.
Pete, you made me nervous. I thought I was replying to a two year old thread.
Post by: BHMike on September 28, 2006, 05:22:45 PM
(I buy for Zach - that's why he gets the cool stuff!).
Anyway, we went out there today....
Now normally we'd spend anywhere from $150.00 to $400.00..... that was when I had the store of course.
Today - it was a whopping $18.00.
Sad selection of everything all around.
No joes - just some Hiss tanks.

Check today at the Richmond Hill location as I had some office ass kissing function to attend to in the area. They have no GI JOE stuff. So that ends this year's search for me.
Yep, Samco hasn't gotten any new deliveries from Hasbro, and didn't anticipate any new ones. If you call them, ask for Stinky - He's the man in the know.
I got Bazooka/Torch for $3 and a bunch of bat 2 packs, so I really shouldn't complain.
The other things that may interest people are the Enterprise bridge figures that include a really cool computer bank for $10, and some cool 1:18/1:17 scale clothing on some pirates clearing out at $1 for 3 figures.
The jacket fits nicely on PTE figures, and can be dyed to whatever color you wish (As long as its green, black or brown) :lol:

Who am I kidding? Hasbro Canada doesn't pay attention to any collectors, never mind the adults!
Post by: akpayne on November 17, 2006, 08:39:04 PM
No figures.
I only ended up picking up some stuff for my kids and zip for me.
I always hoped I would find a stash of figures that didn't make a big appearnce in Canada - like Joes and Hulk/X-Men classic figures.
Toy Companies are really strange - my prediciton is next year there will be a massive amount of Superman figures, YuGioh and DragonBall Z.
I did notice they had some Brat's playsets that work in the same scale as Joe, but since I am having a space problem as it is, I wasn't about to by more - extra surplus for Dio's

Just because I don't have the store anymore doesn't mean I'm not still interested in your vintage Star Wars there Aaron. :-)
