GI JOE 3 3/4 returns (or did it really leave?)

So much for the hiatus

And even the Brazilian line of GI JOE is expecting to re-launch later in the year.

None of this has sunk in yet.

I've seen the PICs of the joes coming through hasbro mail order.

WOW. Single pack. Traditional Artwork. Traditional box style for vehicles. It's a collector's dream come true!

The real question is, will we be able to get them in Canada?

Someone's wrists will be slit if these awesome figures aren't available to Canadian residents. And I'm not talking about my own :evil:.

These figures are spectacular as Teri Hatcher's! The comic pack is so boss with IMO a definitive Zartan with bow set and pouch, and Zarana's very hot with the new head. Rollbar's added chest pouches makes the figure better than any repaint of him. The art is friggin' gorgeous. And Scrap-Iron! It's like Hasbro's been listening to us or something. Weird.

I am thrilled by this news, but at the same time I have a bad feeling that Canadians are only going to be teased by this news.

How many times can I bug freinds in the US to buy product for me, package it and then ship it to Canada, they say they aren't getting annoyed, but if this becomes the only way to get Joes, I am going to have fewer and fewer American friends.

Same boat.  Brad must have days he wants to kill me as I tend to get alot of stuff at once.

Those look ok...but the figures follow the new stlye...at least the single packs...!!! I was hoping they would go back to the old style...!?!

I will get them for sure...(that is unless they are priced like the Star Wars retro stuff which are priced at 15 bucks a figure) !!

Also I am sure it will be a battle to get these in Canada. Someone was saying that they will only be available at a hasbro site...so that makes me think they will mail order anywhere... :lol: ...anywhere in the lower 48!

One thing that is funny that I forgot to emtion above is that those comic packs make some cool figures but look kinda silly when the cover stars all different figures than are in the pack....!!!! :roll:

it's says it will be available through a few select online retailers. that's means smalljoes, gijoehq, etc. so it's not like it will be any different for us canucks. we still have to pay for shipping.

it's great news.

This means a middle man and thus higher costs. I rather get them directly from the source.
