General Joe Talk / Power Team Elite in Canada
« on: August 03, 2004, 10:25:02 PM »
I have been checking that link regularly, but the crappy part is, we are going to have to pay shipping from the US, and duty/taxes.

Giant Tiger is fine for me, however they only got one or two of the items, and I never saw the entire product line there.  And now that it is summer, they only ever stocked anything right around Christmas.  Why do people not want to make it easy to take my money?

Ontario / Battle Hornet & Neutralizer

Saw them both today at ToysRus in Mississauga, picked one of each up, price tag of $16.99 - not worth it in my opinion, but it was more of an impulse purchase as it is so rare that vehicles appear on Canadian shelves.

I remember reading many times, that the entire line of PTE product would eventually arrive in Canada, Giant Tiger was liquidating some of their stuff and it appeared as though it came from a distribution/importing company out of Ottawa.

My question to anyone who knows, is PTE product still coming to Canada, or was what Giant Tiger got, all there was to get?

I missed out on my chance for the Tank, BlackHawk and I really would have loved that Jet!

Off Topic / masters of the universe returns????
« on: July 29, 2004, 03:16:37 PM »
I posted a thing over on Joe Customs and nobody responded, but from my memory of the situation, Mattel made the Snake Men series in really low numbers, and therefore next to nothing showed up in North America.

But I have no confirmation on this, it is all rumors and hearsay.

I would just like to start seeing the vehicles, that is what I mostly collect, and so far the only ones we have gotten are the crap that no-one else wants - makes no sense, why would Walmart Canada and ToysRus Canada take these?

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Next Joe Meet Date?
« on: July 24, 2004, 10:12:37 AM »
I am brutal with names and faces - so names tags are great in my opinion.

And I have to agree with collectorman - I missed out on that at the last one - to focused on how great the wrestling game looked!

Off Topic / New TF Alternators?
« on: July 23, 2004, 11:31:54 PM »
Has anyone seen these yet?  The last two we got right around the same time they showed up in the US, if I remember correctly.

I am really digging that new hound!  Glad these don't come out in quick waves one after the other, as they are a little pricey, and so far I like what I am seeing and would pick up all that they release.

General Joe Talk / Target In Canada
« on: July 16, 2004, 10:18:44 PM »
I have seen Target Transport trucks for the last 4 or 5 years all over the 401 - they must pick up from a distributer in Canada?  Maybe Maple Syrup?

On a different note - Target and Zellers have carried very similar "store" brands for years - I think the clothing line is called Cherokee, why I know this is beyond me!

I love Canada, but I envy American consumerism.

Ontario / 3 pack with SpyTroops movie
« on: July 12, 2004, 08:51:48 PM »
it is the SE/Duke/CC set with the Spy Troops video for $14.99  - not worth it for just a VHS copy of the movie - I don't own a VCR any more.
They also had Wave 3 at the toysrus I was at - $12.99 getting closer to the Wal-Mart's arrival time - the WalMart near me still doesn't have them.

Ontario / rumors of new vehicles in Ontario

I didn't see it this weekend - went to several TRU's and WalMarts in the Mississauga/Oakvill area.

Ontario / BTR @ Loblaws
« on: July 09, 2004, 06:50:33 PM »
I doubt it as the BTR stuff has basically gone to liquidation, Loblaws/Party Packagers are all selling them insanely cheap.

ToyRus is also selling most of the stuff under $10 - I picked up the Hovercraft with BlowTorch for $9.96. far cry from the $50 so dollars the orignally had it priced at.
