Great to hear that  ;D

My little stepbrother is now 10 years old but because of me and my dad he's more a toy kid then a video games kid . His own statement is 'Video games are fun 'n all but with toys you can make up your own story ' He loves Transformers , Jurassic park ( As a 90's kid i gave him mine ) and he likes gi joe too , He has one of those ROC snowmobiles and he LOVES it , I showed him some of the cartoon the other day and he was like...'Who is that ? Who is that ? Who is that !?... Hey that guy sounds like Starscream'  ;D  :cobra:

Too bad most kids spend there time behind an xbox caring about there K/D ratio

How about sears ? do they still make those cool exclusives?

No, sadly that glorious era is long gone. Zellers, Walmart and Toys R Us are really the big ones that carry exclusives, but even when they get here in my City and province of Montreal, Quebec, they disappear really really fast and restocking doesn't happen often. Per instance when we got the ROC wave 3 alpha vehicles (Polar Sharc, Lava pod, etc), credit goes to one scalper from what I heard from very reliable sources who singlehandly hunt them all down at every Montreal Walmart stores, leaving nothing for those who would've had a fair chance considering that they were a lot. Exclusives are a real bargain for scalpers, expecially when they show up at Walmart. Back in the olden days, parents, kids, and collectors wouldn't really buy the exclusives just for their exclusivity status, those were better days.



Yeah and the new exclusives are never that cool... where the sears crison guard mobat and SMS more expensive back in the day?

Consumers distributing had a cool catalog, but every  time I went there to get Joes, the clerk would shrug and point at about 8 figures hanging from the edge of a shelf. "This is what we have left."

TRU and Toyville were awesome in the 80's. TRU would have every figures pictured on the back of the card and an impressive display of shelves filled with vehicles. Might explain why Joe was so big back then... or maybe was it like that BECAUSE he was big... :shifty:

Well i'm a 90's kid so i never had vintage joes , but i remember being annoyed because me local shops never had more than 5 jurassic park toys.... and i spent hours looking at the packaging at the toys i never could find... thats why i kept them

That would be because there has never been a Target in Canada, and KMart left Canada about 10 years ago.

I mean just big stores in general
