Just a quick update that I spotted the PIT at both TRU (3), and Wal-Mart (2) on Regent. Still lots of figures at both locations.

 Zellers at Kildonan Place on Regent (across the road) also had figures and smaller vehicles and Raven, all in a display stand in the middle of the aisle. you can't miss it.

really nice work. The recessed intake looks nice and clean. Great job.

I like them. Nice use of the paraviper head (or am I wrong)  Keep up the good work.

It says the wrist are fixed. It also says it's a troop builders dream but I find that a bit presumptuous. I'm a troop builder and while I enjoyed get the first round of Crimson Strike team figures, I'm passing on this years set because it's already been done and it's WAY to expensive. They want $280 (USD) for a set. That works out to $21.70 per figure in Canadian funds. That is way too much for something where they didn't have to make any new molds or even go looking for the molds like in the past.

This year master Collector set is all set to fail for a bunch of reasons. the obvious reasons are the lazy rehash or a set done 7 years ago and the switch the 25th anniversary styled figures. I really wonder if there was any consideration given to the fact that all the movie toys just came out this week in both Canada in the US. There is stacks of G.I. Joe product and from what I'm reading, most of us don't want to spend even $9.44 on the new figure, never mind $21.70.

Bad choice in themes, bad choice in going to 25th anniversary style and just plain bad timing.

I'll get my figures when they go on clearance in a couple of years. Look at the sale the fun publishing just had with all the previous exclusives. You know these are going to be on sale some day.

has it been seven years already! I remember on yojoe-the pit mailing group when those first came out, it was like sliced bread for hype, I can certainly understand why they want to re-visit probably their best ever released set.

 Exclusives are nice but I would rather spend that money on other joe stuff. I'm sure most of those sets will be up on ebay within a week.

Finally!! Now I have reason to actually visit their website.

I voted already, but I really didn't have any questions at this time, since the focus for Hasbro is to push the movie line.

When the movie line ends I'm hoping to have some questions that they can give an answer to instead of the usual "this has been put on hold while we pusue the movie toy line".
