Dang, you had my hopes up that the ROC SRO 3-packs had been spotted in Canada.

How could I forget. My question from the other thread I started in this sub-forum:
When can we expect to see a new Cover Girl aka Agent Courtney Krieger in ARAH classic style to complete our 25th anni collection?

Will the following be sold in Canada:
- Wal-Mart exclusive battlestations?
- TRU exclusive ROC SRO 3-packs?
- TRU exclusive ROC Firefly & BBQ?
- waves 4 & 5 of the ROC single line in a more wide distribution than we've managed to find thus far?
If the answer is no, the followup question is:
Does Hasbro understand how frustrating it is for their customers and collectors to not be able to BUY something they produce and sell?

For those of you that might be picking up multiple Night Ravens on the cheap from Wal-Mart, if you're interested in selling one of your air-viper pilot figures, I might be interested in buying.
Just throwing that out there.

I second the requests for new BtR Lego-type sets - heck, just license Joe to Lego!!
Quote from: "Snake8Storm"
1) Has Hasbro given any thought to making a lego or lego type G.I. Joe game, something similar to Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman or Lego Indiana Jones. Gi Joe seems like it would be perfect for a game of that type. Especially if there 80's costumes are used.
As a lego collector, I can give my prediction on this one. I would say no, not going to happen. The Lego Group has a thing against violence and guns, etc. WIth Gi-Joe being primarily a military theme, it seems like an unlikely concept to make it into a Lego theme.
Just using Star Wars as an example, it took a LONG time for the company to finally revisualize the minifig weapons and finally give a proper "gun". I think it was in the 2007 line of sets where the change occured, and Star Wars had been licensed by Lego as far back as 1999. (previously, guns were always represented by a generic megaphone blaster piece).

and the 1985-styled one from the 2009 Joe 5-pack.
You like that particular one better than the original 25th single-carded one, the one in the pyramid of darkness dvd set and the hall of heroes version?
The reason I ask is the '09 5-pack is the only version of that figure that I own so far.

I had a sears flyer in hand today in Edmonton and struck out at one sears location, two zellers, a toys r us, and a Wal-Mart. Not a good night for the hunt.

That's what you get for not paying attention. :p
But seriously, question 1 is about the nice cardboard dio pieces being included in ROC multipacks, like the MARS hallway/door from the MARS 3-pack, or the PIT hangar from the Attack Of The PIT 5-pack, or the MARS base docks from the Rescue Mission 4-pack.
Oh, you mean can they post the "artwork" from the dios on the web? (that makes more sense)

Question 2 is about Built To Rule, Hasbro's attempt at building block toys back in 2003.
*shrug* never heard of that ...

Well, if we're dropping ideas, I have a bunch. Might as well list them so I don't forget.
1) The cardboard dioramas that come in multipacks rock! Is there any way to have the designs and building instructions available on Hasbro's website, for those who missed out on the sets or could not afford them?
2) Considering the success of Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Mega Bloks Spider-Man and Mega Bloks HALO, has Hasbro given any consideration to reviving the Built To Rule toyline, using smaller figurines instead of regular Joe figures with brick connectors on their limbs?
I don't even understand what you're talking about in your first two.

phew, right in under the wire with my receipt, I think it would have expired in a day or two to get the refund.
What's the deadline for refunds?
I stopped by today after work and picked up one each of the Wet-Suit and Air Viper packs. I already have a snake armor set from a couple weeks ago when they were on sale. (yes I broke down and bought one at the $22.50 price).
$15 CDN is what these things SHOULD cost from the get-go.

Question for Hasbro:
When can we expect to see a new Cover Girl aka Agent Courtney Krieger in ARAH classic style to complete our 25th anni collection? (she is practically the last remaining figure to cover off the '82-84 period).
(The 2006 DD comic pack version looks like a nice figure that would be compatible, but is so scarcely available the average collector here can't rely on that alone to complete their collection.)
