Well, that makes 2 of us so far. Fingers crossed we can get these for $5 or less.  ;D

These just arrived for sale in Manila, Philippines today selling for 349.75 Philippine pesos, which comes to approximately $8.15 Canadian dollars per each. Of course, the price in the Philippines might not be the same price you'll have to pay.

This series comes in six to a box (one of each figure), and the cardbacks read Hasbro Canada on each.

Lucky for Canadians! It's no wonder that the card art is all red and white on the card face.

Thanks for the info. Very cool.

If these are $8.15 each then I'm down to wanting one of each.

I think Playful is right.  I just recently got back from Thailand and the prices on toys over there were about double what we pay here in a major department store.  So I think it might be possible that we will see these hit shelves for $7 or possibly less.  At least 2 cases for me still, especially if it is only 6 figs in a case.

These are kinda cool. I dig the arashikage symbol backdrop. You can bet the SS and SE are going to go fast and the others will peg warm (relatively speaking, depending on availability). SE and SS are the first modern versions of these versions of very popular characters. It's too bad they werent packed 8 per case with 2 each of SS and SE. Shipwreck is appealing as it's based on the very cool Devils due design. But the others are kinda duds.

Depending on the price, I'd go for at least SE and SS, and maybe the rest.

The title is a bit misleading. The day gi joe ends up in all dollar store aisles will be a dark one for me.

These look great btw.

These figures look pretty good despite the lack of accessories.  If we can get them for say $6 a pop, I'd gladly take these over the movie ones. I'd probably get one of each plus a few more of the troopers.

Only upcoming figures I seem to have any care for.

The article I read said something about the figures being geared towards "Family Dollar." Is that a chain of dollar stores? Or was that a total Jon-fail?

Dude I really really hope it's Dollarama....all I have where I live is Wal-nut and Dollarama...that would come close to selling these. Sometimes Canadian Tire sell toys, I got allot of the star trek movie figs there for close to nothing.
