That Stalker looks the same as the Resolute version, right?

Stalker's head is the same as Resolute.  The only customizing I might do their is cutting the dreads off.

You are right!  I had to dig up the review that olyeller did for the pic.  My Stalker is barried in a bin right now.

From the picture it looks like one of stalker's knives might clip onto the bottom of his gun.

I like all three figures.  Just hope we can find them at retail in Canada.

Maybe by the summer TRU will get on the boat? With the TV show tie-in I think they'll start selling Joes again.

Oh and I love that Sci Fi! I still remember getting my original at TRU in 1987 when my uncle took me one day. He made fun of me for liking it since it was so non-Army looking and he was career military. It hadn't even crossed my mind that Joes were unrealistic up to that point.

I hope so, having 3 stores to look for Joes will increase our chances at getting items we want!

I've been playing it safe and ordering each wave from the states, only a dollar or two more per figure in the end and I get the filecard to cut out. The ones I find in Canada are just gravy. Still trying to get the vehicles up here though, those are simply too dear to import after shipping and risking duty. I'm still holding my breath for Vamps and Rages to hit shelves in my city.

That's exactly what I was doing with the 25th anniversary..but I stopped doin' that with RoC and PoC!

I don't blame you not for ROC, but these POC figures are such a step up from the movie toys that it's worth it just to make sure I don't miss one. On the other hand, I have seen every POC carded guy on a peg at least once between various WM and Zellers. Maybe I just feel like if I don't just once, I won't get the figure. It did take me about nine months after release to find City Strike SE in Canada but even he showed up.

US packaging is way better too.. no french nor Spanish! I hate paper filecards also..

Even though TRU don't sell GIJoe anymore, I'm glad the other stores are keeping up with the States with the waves.
Let's hope it continues this way except that if TRU wants to be back in the game, they're more than welcome

[Kronser]

I wonder if ROC really hurt TRU Canada so badly they just got scared of Joes? They certainly had a rough time moving the quantities they ordered around here, aside from the good figures of course.
