General Joe Talk / Re: GIJCC Figure Subscription service
« on: August 14, 2012, 11:04:40 PM »
I'm in for 1 sub.  I really like some of the figures, such as Big Boa, Cover Girl, Dice, Jinx and Topson.  Some others were "nice to haves", including TNT and Quarrel.

Hey, Hasbro did not attend / present?  I was actually looking forward to that presentation, but my buddy was getting antsy, so we left.  I was going to ask people what they said.

A big thanks and kudos to everyone involved in the convention....it was great.

It was my first one and I really enjoyed the experience.  It was relaxed, yet very well run.

Everyone was friendly and approachable.  I met some folks, but wish I would have met some more.  As it happens, I brought a friend of mine who is not really a collector, so I felt I had to entertain him a bit and felt bad leaving him to meet other people.  Oh well....next time.

The panels were great, especially Joe Declassified.

I did not buy too much b/c I am sort of happy with my collection right now, but gsmiley helped me fill in a few holes.  Thanks!

As a practical matter, the GI Joe logo is all over the last 4 sets plus Hasbro attended in 2009, 2011 and 2012 (I believe).  It is not like they did not know the sets were being made and CJC used the logo w/o permission.

Also, I understand Hasbro would not attend if knock - off products were sold in the vendor room and the CJC team took care of that.  They obviously had no problem with the CJC produced sets, which are awesome, btw.

I think yo joe's argument that compares custom figures / sets with custom sets that Hasbro Canada knows about and lets CJC produce are entirely different....they are not morally equivalent.

Good follow - through, Martin!

I am confused by that answer, to be honest.  I thought Hasbro supplied the parts for 2009 and blessed it (after all, Backstop was produced so there would be copyright issues if Hasbro did not sign off).  I thought that was a given.

I also believed yo joe was going to "grandfather" previous figures (e.g. Black Ice, Snowbank, etc) even though they were not specifically endorsed by Hasbro, based on (1) the subsequent approval in 2009 and (2) the high quality nature of the product.  That was from the declassified article, which I do not have in front of me.....though I have the link saved somewhere.

So, it seems that yojoe's answer changed althought the facts (e.g. 2009 was an official set) did not.  Moreover, does not yojoe include the 2009 comic online already???

Maybe I'm missing something, but it is just not clear to me......

Do people sell customs at the convention?  I would like to get a ME Snowbank......if one exists......that would make my week!

I e-mailed yojoe about the CJC figures and never got a response either.

Are any of the guys from yojoe going to be at the convention?  Maybe we can bring it up then?

Martin - thanks for posting this info.  I have been meaning to sign up and upload my collection, but have been busy with work.

Question - can you put in figures not on the checklist?  Meaning, customs?  I have a number of ME customs of ARAH figures, so would I be able to enter those somehow?  I could also do the same for my Canadian sets.

Strangely, I asked someone at yojoe, why the Canadian sets were not there and he did not have an answer.  It is weird, I thought these were blessed in 2010 in Joe Declassified by yojoe, but were never put on the website.........

Hey, can we see the file cards for Joe Canuck and Black Ice too?  Not sure if you updated the bios from the originals.........

Thanks.
