General Joe Talk / Re: Ever been embarrassed by your hobby?
« on: August 11, 2009, 06:54:12 AM »
not embarrassed but more heckled, but that's by my wife mostly. Even then she begrudges me the space more then anything although she really doesn't understand the 30 year old having toys. I used to have some friends who thought it was weird but then I just told them to think of my toys as they do their sports cards. That's usually all I need to say.

 Its funny because my one buddy wanted to see my toys and then told me he thought he still had an original Optimus Prime and Megatron at his parents house, we checked it out he still had them in their boxes (they were opened) but rarely played with. He told me he transformed them each like once or twice then put them back in their box and just had them on a shelf. I'm still trying to get him to sell them to me.

Manitoba & Saskatchewan / Roc figures and vehicles in Superstore.
« on: August 08, 2009, 01:09:01 PM »
Was in Superstore on Regent today and saw a display stand in the middle of the aisle with some figs etc.  Sale $7.49 per figure  Limit:2 (sorry the price might be a little out, I'm not sure if I recall it correctly) otherwise regular $9.99.

Not sure on the vehicles prices as my little girl was running away from me at the time.

how much did the movie cost to make? It's got to make a decent profit for both the studio and Hasbro to even consider. I wonder what that margin is?

 I really can't see this movie  having a great second week. Unless every fan keeps going. I'd be surprised if they did a sequel. Do movies even do just sequels anymore? don't they move right away into trilogies. I guess time will tell.

General Joe Talk / Re: Do collectors hate 12" Joes?
« on: August 07, 2009, 03:30:40 PM »
I've only ever had 3 3/4. This is my gi joe. I know of no-one when I was a kid who had 12" joes. So I really have no connection with them.

General Joe Talk / Re: G.I. Joe: ROC Slurpee cups available now at 7-11

I didn't get any...  the only 7/11 nearby closed years ago.  Lame.

Are the collectible straws a full straw - or is it just a little straw-clinger thing that you can slide off and onto a new straw?

how in the world did a 7/11 close? Those things are everywhere and always busy.

Anyways I believe those are little figures that cling to the straw, I seem to recall a loose storm shadow sitting on the cup stand. I could be mistaken though.

General Joe Talk / Re: Anyone going to thr Joe Con in KC?
« on: August 06, 2009, 05:50:00 PM »
sadly, unless they have a Joe Con sometime besides summer, I doubt I will ever get to go. That and my I'd be hard pressed to convince my wife to take a vacation so I can attend  :(

« on: August 06, 2009, 05:46:56 PM »
I'd say it just depends on what parts you want to use. I'd keep my eyes open for anything in the 3 3/4 range. It will probably be how you tie all the pieces together.

what's with all the sound effects from Star Wars and Star Trek, that's kinda cool.

Wow I remember this being way cooler back in the day. Still love Cobra Commanders voice though.
I have to spend some parts of today watching a few episodes.

oh yeah, I still really dislike Duke, he has way to much exposure.

hmmm..... do you recommend to see a business lawyer as well? I'm sure there might be some provincial laws that may apply.
