Well I though I cleaned out all the Big Ben/White Out packs at my local TRU for the Canadian Joe meet.  Instead I go there today (to find a Transformer Armada for an American friend) and I spot over 30 of these dusting attracting packs.  Come on.

It's the only store in Canada that sold out - so they shipped the rest there!

ok, since i'm admittedly a novice with newer Joes, I need some clarification.  I see that the Big Ben/Whiteout two pack is from 2000, and I'm led to beleive by the comments that the general consensus is that it sucks.  My question is why?  Again...new to the game, and just curious.

cheers!

Not so much that they suck.... (which they sorta do), but that seems to be ALL Canada got from that wave.... It's like Hasbro U.S. said "Send the leftovers of those two to Canada - they have snow... they'll enjoy them!".

Hasbro Canada I'm afraid isn't much brighter....

ah...and because they're a couple of years old at this point and anybody that wanted them has already picked them up, they're selling for $2.98?

I bet if they went on ebay someone would pay 5 U.S. for them...Canada is the only place you can still get them...worth a 3 dollar gamble...?

just thinking that at that price, I might actually make the jump into newer joes...pick up two, one to open and one to keep mint.  but i still prefer the joes of my youth.

You know what's interesting.... I have the worse luck.

I bought a collection of Joes today (added most online already - hint hint).
and in them was 4 Big Ben and White outs....
WTF!?!?
When we needed these last week I had none.

Anyway, I was actually going to try them out on my site.
At say...... $3 or $4 Canadian each.
I would 'assume' some Americans are still in need of them no?

There is nothing wrong with this two pack.  I actually like the figures.  But there was too many of them released up here.  I actually sold some of these figures to Americans at sale price cost just to help TRU blow them out. But another 30...forget it.
