I have no interest in GI JOE figures that have the same shitty articulation as the original Star Wars figures.

General Joe Talk / Re: Any interest in 3D printing to flesh out your collection?

The only thing I would be interested is in dioramas. If would make the figures in display cases pop.

Sorry I'm not here much.
It doesn't cost very much money to keep *this* site going. As long as you guys want it around, I'll make sure it's around. Over the summer I was looking into finding the old assets for the message board (banners/colours/etc) but I think they're gone forever.
I've been going to school for writing over the past couple years. Maybe that will translate into more content for gijoe-canada.com

It's been a while since I bought anything GI JOE related. Pretty sure the last thing I bought was some bootleg figures in the spring. I want to see the new product in stores to see if I would have any interest in it.
As for vintage, the last thing I bought was a Mexican version of Shipwreck to complete the entire Mexican 3 3/4 line. That was around 8-9 years ago. Getting Shipwreck was my last holy grail. Already had the complete run of 3 3/4 figures from Argentina and Brazilian and the rare European figures. So that thrill of the hunt was done.
The only other figures I would have a mild interest are the rare funskool figures. However, getting married (don't want to explain to the wife I dropped a couple grand on a toy from India) and buying a house in Markham 10 years ago were the final nails in the coffin in terms of going after the rare Funskool figures. Getting rid of my mortgage became the new goal.
I have only displayed a small portion of my collection. I have two small kids and don't want them near my vintage figures. I am in no mood to re-buy them as the vintage market has gone stupid in terms of prices.
The one thing I am glad is that I was able to get all the vintage figures with their original accessories before this bootleg crap started happening. I have zero interest in fake accessories to replace the real mccoy ones.

Hopefully once a trailer is released, I may get excited about this. Otherwise, I am not expecting much with Lorenzo still involved in the GI JOE movies.

Message Board News / Re: Just checkin in..
« on: December 29, 2018, 04:12:50 PM »Most Joe talk happens on social media for me knowadays. Maybe it's just me but GI Joe isn't as high on my priorities as it used to be.
Facebook has killed most message board traffic out there.
I am hardly active on social media any more. Facebook and all that political crap on it has turned me off.
The only GI JOE stuff I have interest in right now is some of the customs that have been made. Otherwise, Hasbro decision to shelve the product as made it easy for me to collect other toys.

Against my better judgment, I have re-activated registrations.
I guess I will find out soon if Russian troll factory is still going.

Disabled registrations again. Tired of dealing of the Russian troll factory. Just like your leader, you have tiny dicks.
