Dave, Pete and I did a road trip to Indianapolis for the G.I. Joe Convention in 2013. I got to spend a lot of one-on-one time with Dave as we didn't know a ton of the American fans and kept each other company. He was a really sweet guy with a light sense of humour. He was also a fairly prolific musician in the Kitchener/Waterloo punk scene.

There's a going to be a memorial concert on June 14 in Kitchener. I plan on making the trip over from Toronto. If anyone wants a ride, I have some seats open in my vehicle.

I saw a post saying Roadblock & Tripwire Tiger Force 2-pack is now on sale at Target for $38.49 (USD). Since we don't have Target in Canada anymore I took a look on TRU... just in case.

I remember last time I checked price on TRU Classified figs, and they were $1 to $3 higher than Amazon. But now, the average GI Joe Classified fig is... $42.99!!!!

Really?

That is $7 more than Amazon...

Yep TRU after the new year went back to their wacky pricing.  Did you happen to see Buzzer's price?  I'm sure it is an error, but $60 is not a realistic price for a single figure.

So far I don't think TF Roadblock and Tripwire have shown up at any major Canadian retailer for preorder.   Maybe TRU will get it, or possibly Gamestop since they go the Tiger Paw.   However there are online etailers that have the two pack up for preorder so if you can't access Target there are some options available in Canada.

ninjas wouldn't stand a chance against a Tier 1 SOF unit, a 5.56mm NATO round at 500 fps muzzle velocity isn't something anyone can dodge or deflect with a katana and some twat twirling nunchuks or flailing katanas is just going to get their head blown off.

and that picture of these ninjas just looks stupid with them having gun-arms with an actual unusable grip and trigger assembly.

This one might remember you Action Force SAS Trooper

😜

did anyone actually pick these up?

I did and the quality is awesome.

If you compare with Classified: no need to boild to unfreeze joints, no curved weapons, no warped card, etc.

They feel 1986 ARAH with swivel wrist.

The code Delta10off makes you save 10% when buying 6 figs or more.

The all come on a nice card and a stand.

I remember him when I was new on here. Seemed a nice guy, like a lot of you.

My condolences.

Oh, this is sad news indeed. I met him, talked to him, bought from him.

My condolences to his family.

Wow that is terrible news.  I do remember him somewhat from those earlier days.  His pic jogged my memory a bit, but I wouldn't say I knew him.

My condolences to his family and especially his son. 

As someone who just turned 50 in January I can definitely agree that 51 is way too young.

Sadly this is becoming a grim reality for us as we keep aging.

WOW, that is a bit of a shock.  He was well known to anyone in the early days of JoeCanuck. My condolenses to his wife and family.

Just WOW!
