« on: April 22, 2009, 10:26:08 AM »

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Re: will there be a limit on the sets?

I'm not familiar with this Hamilton Convention Centre, if I showed up at 7:30ish would I have to wait in my car?  Do you line up outside?  Or do you line up inside (like the hotel it was hosted at last year)?

It's an 1 1/2 hr wait but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Well if this con set can resolve the gross overstock of Air Chariot/Armadillo packs plauging Canadian retailer shelves then I'm all for tank stripping!!!

if the black jackal here is a tank stripper, it would beg the question "is there a tank for him to strip?" *nudge* *nudge*

Taking wife to Montreal for b'day surprise at the end of May, I'm going to have to see how I can save at least two bills for "other" purposes now...

Wow!  That's the most creative use of those dreaded Duke arms I've ever seen - great work to all those who are putting this project together.

I did plan to attened the convention pretty early (lined up for 45 mins last year) and I kinda got scared when people in another thread were talking about camping out overnight and such, but hell if the convention set is going to be THIS promising I might haul my butt outta bed at 5AM and do the 1-1.5 hour drive to Hamilton just to be in the line.

General Joe Talk / current state of Canadian retailer toy market?
« on: March 26, 2009, 09:42:02 AM »
Hey guys, I'd like to be in the "know" about what's going on here with our retailers.  Since xmas, the toy movement on the shelves have stood still.  The Indy figure line died and I still don't see a clearance price on these guys, and they're perpetually warming the shelves.

The only new G.I. Joe product we got was the latest Cobra/Joe 5-packs and the hideous VvV-tribute pack.  HISS tanks and Serpentor Air Chariots have baraccaded themselves in the toy aisle and don't plan to give up. 

I understand Hasbro is gearing up with the movie toys, and retailers aren't buying anything more, but c'mon - not even wave 12 or 13?  No Resolute 5-pack? 

And I haven't been following this fantastic toyline for long, but Canada doesn't get DCUC generally?  I've been to TRU, Wal*Mart, Toys Toys Toys and I keep seeing the same junk over and over.  I mean if the things can't sell at normal price, at least put them on clearance to free up some room!

Hey guys,  space is becoming a precious commodity lately so I'm off-loading some of the bigger vehicles in my collection.  Because of the size and weight of these vehicles I'm only selling them to Canadian residences.  All prices are in Canadian and include shipping - Paypal only too.

PATRIOT GRIZZLY - $40
- Simply put, best tank ever.  Everything works, has been only used for display.  Missile launching mechanism launches projectiles pretty damn far!  Blueprints included


NIGHT ATTACH CHOOPER (DESERT) - $35
- My favourite vehicle, everything works, projectiles all there, sounds and lights are there, blueprints included.


RATTLER - $35
- Recently released for the 25th Anniversary line, very beautiful - I used stickers from cobrastickers.com


1985 AWE STRIKER - $20
- This was my pride and joy, a completely mint AWE Striker from 1985, no decals applied, clean!  Blueprints included, sorry don't have the sticker sheet

hmm I wonder if he ships to Canada, I think I'm going to e-mail him  ::)


It's weird how this Canadian Exclusive is now Elusive to cross-border shipping to it's own country of origin!  :lol:

As an action movie, this is right up there with past Summer blockbuster action movies.

As G.I. Joe : Sigma Six the movie?  I'll buy that.

But as G.I. Joe as we know it?  Not my cup of tea.

But what I wouldn't give to be Sienna Miller's spandex/latex body suit :)

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Re: Mark Bellomo returns to CanJoeCon!
« on: January 22, 2009, 09:15:40 AM »
I'm glad Mark is coming back.  Maybe this year I will meet him and chat.

I'll admit, I didn't know this guy from Adam and I was hesitant to drop the bills for the first edition Reference Guide he had.  Everyone was lining up for Larry Hama and poor Mark was on his own. 

I've heard the 2nd edition has some major improvements and I do plan to purchase it this time around.  Sorry we didn't get to chat the first time Mark!

« on: January 16, 2009, 02:53:36 PM »
I too would like Hasbro to complete at least one series of vintage-to-25th anniversary.  Personally I'd really like a Footloose and Airtight to finish off 1985 but that doesn't look like it's in the cards :(
