Just wait until June/July and pick them up at TRU.

No word on that yet.

And I'm starting to think that I'm not going to go in for these guys. I like them, but I may be done buying new joes. The more I look at them, the less I feel inclined to pick them up...

I'm reserving total judgement until I see them in store.

If they don't come to Canada, hasbro has made my mind up for me.

Agreed - I know I can go and pick up the new figures at Silver Snail, but I really don't have the time to do so. And $40 for a 6 pack of the same figures is sad.  If they don't come to Canada I won't be buying them.

Thats how I feel as well..........I am getting tired of tracking Joes down.

One thing is that I still collect alot of vintage toys lines and if these guys cost me 80 bucks (2x 40 or so?) well thats enough to buy some complete lines of other toys. Also these are different and kinda neat but they are all the same figures just in a new style (again), its like 2002 all over again.

Anyways I guess I will make up my mind when I am staring at them, or not...... :chicken:

Well we did get the 15th anniversary figures so I'm hoping we'll get the 25 anniversary sets. The 15th anniversary sold well, except maybe the Slugger tanks but even those eventually sold out.

I remember seeing all the three packs and vehicles from the 15th Anniversary but did we get the 8 (?) pack of the original team? If it was in Canada there was a shortage of the out west.

The 25th anniversary seems like an easy sell........not a real big commitment to get these...?!?!?!

From what i understand, no we didn't get the 8 pack set. I think that was the only thing we didn't get. I know I saw all the 3 packs and small vehicle and figure packs as well as the Stinger/Rattler, Slugger,the Cobra Rage, Conquest Jet, A-10 Tank smasher, and Mobat.

The 8-pack was from an earlier assortment. We got all the later 3-packs (Vipers, Scuba, Snow, Oktober) as well as the MOBAT, Stinger and Conquest. I don't remember us getting the Commando Team or the Destro/CC/Baroness pack.

I bought the Commando Team and the Destro/CC/Baroness packs here at the local Whitby TRU.  I remember seeing the art work and I couldn't pass them up.  The only thing I can't recall is whether I saw the Stars and Stripes set.   I know I didn't buy one here.

I bought all of the three pack sets and the vehicles at TRU's around Toronto.  I didn't buy duplicate figures at the time - so when the Viper 3 pack came out I only purchased one, and left about 20 or 30 on the pegs.
I remember the slugger sat around for about 2 years after - same with the conquest Jet from the next year.
I don't remember ever seeing the stars and stripes pack otherwise I would have purchased it, and the only vehicles I don't remember seeing was the Rattler A-10.

I know all the three packs were out here, I bought them all as soon as I saw them, and like everyone else I left all the vipers only buying one pack.

My Destro pack had the pink launcher even........................... :chicken:...I wanted it but never did come across it. I figured it sold out as it was pretty cool...but it sounds like it never made it here.

The Stars and Stripes set didn't make it out here. I was working at TRU at the time and we got everything but.

My only experience with the stars and stripes was picking it up off the shelf over in WNY, and going, I can't believe how crappy this is.  :lol:

I remember finding the Stars & Stripes set on clearance at TRU in NC. I left it there because of the awful Breaker and Rock 'n Roll figures. Sooooo bad.

Ya when I did finally get it I was really disapointed, it must have been a real dork that had the final say on that set.

The Stars and Stripes set was useful for one thing, tearing them out of their package, disassembling them, then using their parts for zombie joes.
