General Joe Talk / Re: Toys R Us Sale

I have no doubt that TRU over ordered.  My local TRU was getting pretty bare from the sale, but I have no doubt that they will be fully restocked this weekend.

General Joe Talk / Re: Rise Of Cobra Movie Reviews starting to hit online...
« on: July 15, 2009, 11:36:46 AM »
Interesting reviews.  One review is way over the top in how good the movie is, how great the characters are and how much it reminded them of their childhood Joes.

The others are better reviews with actual examples of how/why something worked or didn't.  I came away from reading those reviews with a sense that the movie will be pretty good.  I'm even starting to hope that it is the sleeper hit of the summer.  Obviously nowhere near as big as ROTF or HP, but hopefully at least $200 million domestically.

General Joe Talk / Re: Where have all the Joe movie ads gone?
« on: July 15, 2009, 08:56:37 AM »
Considering the movie is still 3 weeks out, you shouldn't worry.

There has been a TON of advertising for this movie already, and once Harry Potter passes next week, we will see the full court press for the movie.

Great news for us.  SNAKE ARMOR.:)
I'm very happy and i will get a few of these.  The problem is we will have to pay big price and shipping for these. >:(

Maybe not.  At the CON the Hasbro Canada rep stated that all the exclusive would be picked up in Canada.  So hopefully he wasn't pulling our legs.

Hey guys!!!

How could you miss the other auctions!!!

We are getting a black S.N.A.K.E. armor (now called Serpent) and a slight repaint of the 80s Jetpack. (Rocket pack)

And we finally get some packaged shots of the Firebat repaint and the motorcycly w/sidecar (Snarler Cycle)

I wonder if we might see that Ferret from a while back show up in another 2 pack, rather than as a CON exclusive.

So far I just picked up Shipwreck.  I want a PP SE but I won't pay full price for movie figs because I know they will go on sale.

As for Shipwreck.  WOW!!!  What a great figure, with great accessories.  If the majority of the line were like him, it would be a no brainer.  However a lot of the "screen" figures just don't do it for me.

Its mildly amusing at best. Typos are a common thing in printing.

 I never picked up the box (nor do I intend too). I'm interested in seeing the back of that Cobra Drill machine to see that Serpentor/Croc master figure though.

It's ok.  I prefer the all black mock up that was seen during Toyfair.  The Serpentor chest is cool in all black, but the overall figure is not really that great in either form.

On another board, someone suggested I should buy it as soon as possible because it is the kind of mistake that could get pulled from the shelves if some parent gets uppity about it.

General Joe Talk / Oops. Proof reading/editing mistake (Hasbro)
« on: July 04, 2009, 10:31:17 AM »
Sorry I don't have a pic, but I didn't have my phone with me, and I wasn't going to pay $24.99 for a Snake Trax w/Scrap Iron.

So if anyone in Canada can grab a pic and post it to show what I mean, please do.


Anyway, I was at TRU and they had the display for ROC out.  Everything was fine until I saw the Snake Trax w/Scrap Iron.

At first I thought it might have been me just misreading it, then maybe it might have been one box, but no. 

EVERY Snake Trax box (multilingual) has the name and then "with/avec/con ACRAP IRON!!!"

I don't know why,  but I couldn't help but laugh at the mistake.  Mostly likely due to my juvenile sense of humour.

As I said, it was on the multilingual boxes, so I don't know if the same mistake will appear on the English only boxes.

General Joe Talk / GI JOE: ROC comic adaptation #1
« on: July 03, 2009, 03:10:45 PM »
Well I read the first issue of the comic adaptation.

I have to say, if this is faithful to the movie, then the opening 20-30 minutes of the movie should be pretty good action and story.  I of course won't spoil it for anyone, but we get some good character development combined with some great action.

Also, SE looks to be pretty bad ass right away.

Add Agincourt Walmart (Kennedy/Sheppard) to the list.  They had the same as Jane/Hwy7 this morning.  Back wall of the toy section.
