General Joe Talk / Re: GIJCC Figure Subscription service
« on: January 03, 2013, 01:21:02 AM »
Morgardee paid $109 for the shipping of 26 figures (Two sets of twelve figures plus two bonus figures).
This averages out to $4.19 for shipping on each figure.
On the first shipment the club paid $7.45 for the shipment of four figures.
This averages out to $1.86 for the shipping of each figure.
If this trend continues (shipping rates and packaging and materials staying constant for the next six months) the club will pay an estimated total of $48.43 to ship morgardee his figures. This means the club will have charged morgardee a total of $60.58 in handling charges, which most people would deem a rip off.

Zellers in my neck of the woods has a BOGO half off for all action figures this week, and it should be nation wide since it's in the flyer. I don't know if that applies to vehicles, but if it does it could make the price a little more bearable.

I don't remember ever seeing them in the Marvel run. By the time the toys were made they (Marvel) were switching over to the whole Snake Eyes and Ninja Force thing, so there would have been very limited opportunity.

Sorry, should have said Shadow Tracker never made it into an assortment that was available outside of comic book and collectible stores in Canada.

Shadow Tracker never made it into an assortment that was available outside of comic book and collectible stores, so online will be your best bet for him.

I've only seen Lowlight once, at a Walmart here in Calgary. I've seen Skydive a couple of times, also at Walmart, so they are out there.
Shadow Tracker and the new Destro were not in the revision cases that shipped to the Walmarts, so you will probably only see those at comic or toy shops (not TRU... yet). I think the case breakdown was as follows:
Low Light x 1
Sky Dive x 1
Alley Viper x 1
Jungle Viper x 1
Storm Shadow PoC v1 (with all the ninja gear) x 1
Beachhead x 2
Snake Eyes PoC v3 (with the 2 heads and elastic webgear) x 2
Duke PoC v2 (with pulse rifle) x 1
Shock Trooper x 2

As always, a great review olyeller. One of my friends had this when we were kids, it inevitably was overrun by Vipers and BATs in the majority of our battles if memory serves. Lots of fun though.

The other kids are right, CardboardJedi. The only difference between the Canadian and domestic US releases would be the flag and United States/Canada stickers. The rest should be the same, right down to the placement of said stickers (flags on rear fenders, country on the hood). You just have to figure out which version ya got, original or mail away.

One cool thing though is the Colonial Marine Pulse Cannon with the Iron Gren. figure that was originally suppose to come with POC Destro.I was glad to see it too until I had a good look at it. It's at least 1/3 oversized. Without the steadicam rig to hold it, it looks like something that would come with a True Heroes figure from Toys R Us. I doubt even Roadblock could use that sucker.
