It's the most wonderful time of the year: Samko/Miko

Went to Miko today. Nothing there except a few 12" figures. I talked to the one guy there and he said they were all sold out of Joe stuff. I never made it to Samco, but the Pro Bass Shop was great, so the trip was'nt a complete waste of time.

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:

Do you think Hasbro Canada clued in that sending in relatively new figures to the warehouse was hurting their sales towards adult collectors?

Who am I kidding? Hasbro Canada doesn't pay attention to any collectors, never mind the adults!

I was just at Samko on Dufferin tonight, and the only thing I saw was Hiss IV's for $10.
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. :-)

Sorry, I don't need to make room for some Bratz toys, at least not bad enough to unload my SW items.
The day I do, Mike, you will be the first to know.
