I don't say much on the board, but I'm always reading...  I am looking forward to the meet and the main reason(s) are the trade/sale areas.  Unfortunately I don't have much of volume that I can sell, but I might bring a small box of 'tradables'.  

So basically this post is to say that I hope more people with the means do set up a sellers/traders table.  It goes without saying the more items to be browsed/sold/bought, the better for everyone.  I have no problem paying entry due to lack of sellers either (although the opposite would be much better), but I hope this isn't the case simply because that would mean fewer options for parts, pieces, and figs.

Thats my two cents... I look forward to the meet and seeing everyone soon.

i bought some joes for custo on his word and he came through with a fast payment...  very friendly in his emails and i'd do sales/trades with him again...

hey mike...yes it is the one with the dvd...they had about 6 pieces on the shelf when i was there yesterday, and as it is the beginning of the season they likely have more in the back...  this store deals in high volume, 'last season' stock so that is why their prices are pretty good...

i think i paid around $35US off ebay when it came out...   :?

hi all....there is this toy warehouse in richmond hill at hwy 404/ hwy 7, called Miko Toys (there is also a Samko Toys in Toronto).  I used to work there and was always asking them to get some joe stuff.  I went in today and their selection has quadrupled.  Its all the Spy Troops series, and as I'm not a fan of the new joes, I couldnt tell you which specific series they are.  But I remember some prices..

figure 2 packs are $3 ( the ones with tunnel rat, bat v3.2, lady jaye, iron grenadiers, kamkura, etc)

i picked up some hiss IV tanks for $10 a piece

they have the desert jeep with dusty, a couple different copters, the humvee, plus a whole lot more....micromachines gi joe, etc...  all in the $10 to $20 range...

they have the snakeeyes/stormshadow 12" set for $14 plus a whole range of other 12" figs.  (gung ho, etc).

definately worth checking out if you're interested in this series, and the prices seem really good too...   Miko is a seasonal store open for christmas, and they just opened, so they do have a lot of stock in and tonnes more than i've mentioned  (stikfas, batman, starwars AOTC, spiderman)

the address is 60 East Beaver Creek if anyone is in the neighbourhood.
