Unfortunately, the only major collector's toy store in Montreal that I know of is Legends. Good for new stuff, but not so much vintage.

Well, Legends actually did/does have some oldschool 12" Joes, with the cloth uniforms.  I think they still have some of those equipment packs (outfit and gear) for different branches of the military (I think there was a sniper one, a medic one, etc).  They're not listed on their website, but if you give them a visit, you might be able to find them.
