All Across Canada / TRU classified figure sale
« on: April 19, 2023, 09:35:51 AM »
They are finally at a price that is reasonable.

PP Bat $27
Outback $27
Movie Figures $27
Spirit $32
Xamot $34
Dusty $36

Maybe they are getting the hint that $45 is simply to much when everywhere else has them for less.

General Joe Talk / Classified accessories storage

What do you use? Currently I just have the extra hands, guns, helmets, heads etc. in a ziploc bag.
 I was thinking about 3d printing a large crate or footlocker.  Looking for ideas.

General Joe Talk / Classified favs so far?
« on: October 26, 2022, 04:39:37 PM »
Interested to hear from others,
My opinion so far - #35 Storm shadow for Cobra, and #46 Stalker for the Joes.
The newer style pinless figures are really impressive, and these two figures I feel offer the best bang for the $ when accessories are included.

Of course if I could find a Crimson guard, I might have to change my mind.

Honorable mentions - the BAT V1 figure and Zartan.

General Joe Talk / Trip to the US
« on: August 10, 2009, 06:45:33 PM »
Found a couple of things.

I noticed that the Cobra Gun ship had to different version of the pilot.
One had a red helmet and the other was a black helmet? Toysrus price was $24.99 (not on sale) even with exchange better price than  in Ontario.

I also saw the Crimson Stealth jet - don't remember the name and I passed on it as I already own two of them from the Spy Troops series. And the best Joe Vehicle the RHINO, I also passed on this as it was blue and $59.99.

However I did pick up the New joe Helicopter with Wild Bill, not a bad toy - a little on the small side and not much play value.

Does anyone know of site that has all of the joe stuff that is currently out there, YoJoe.com is a little behind on stuff.

Are there any in southern Ontario anymore?
I know they used to be in every city - Hamilton had several, Toronto had 3 on yonge street but that was 15-20 years ago.

Specifically I am looking for parkas and pants.

Cheesy in spots but just like the cartoon.

Ontario / AT-TE at winners
« on: April 07, 2009, 01:47:35 PM »
Not joe related, but I picked up an AT-TE for my sons birthday this weekend at Winners for $70.
It is the version with the clear plastic front and came with several figures.
General Kenobi, Grevious, 3 clone troopers and some battle droids.

Here is a photo of it.  http://www.rebelscum.com/2008/TCWATTEint.jpg

General Joe Talk / Toysrus.ca ups prices
« on: February 01, 2009, 08:08:30 PM »
Figures are now $10.99 - I have bought a couple of figures in the past, but at $11 a pop plus shipping, I don't think I will again in the future - unless they have something I absolutely have to have!
The 3 packs are now $16.99.

Saw this over at Toynewsi

It is a great custom!!  If Hasbro put a little effort into this some of the cross branded toys would be amazing.

General Joe Talk / BAT's on TRU.ca
« on: December 13, 2008, 08:09:37 AM »
$9.99 plus shipping is more than I would want to pay, but for anyone having a hard time finding these it is another option.

General Joe Talk / Resolute and new 5 packs at Smalljoes.com
« on: December 13, 2008, 08:07:59 AM »
The new resolute figures are up - for pre order?  I think this is the first time Smalljoes has ever done pre orders.
In the past Corey has said he doesn't do pre orders because he could never confirm if Hasbro would ship him the number of items he would need, and would then have to go back to his customers to have them wait longer.  It makes me think that Hasbro's policy has  shipping has changed and they can now guarantee pre-order numbers?
