General Joe Talk / G.I. Joe Collector's Club...
« on: August 28, 2009, 10:12:39 AM »
For Canadians, is joining this club worth the $63 US? You pay for a membership to pay for product and then I'm sure you pay way too much to ship the items to Canada - or am I wrong on this one?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Ian

I dont expect to find pit commandos, had to order 3 online for about 10 bucks each...

If you don't mind me asking, where did you order your pit commandos from?

Thanks Kronz. Great info. So, in Canada they're Real Canadian Heroes?  ???

I have to admit that I'm drawn to the winter themed figures. Must be my Canadian blood.

Great replies, thanks.

Yeah, if I kept all my childhood toys, they'd definitely be worth something. Original G.I. Joes from the 60s, all of the original red line Hot Wheels and the killer, I had the first few Spider-man comics. All gone. Given away. Ah, but now I get to relive my childhood all over again. It's so much fun.

My budget won't allow me to collect doubles unfortunately, so, what I get I have to decide on whether to open or not. I want to open them but one of the problems is where to keep all of their gear. So much gear with each figure.

Here's a noob question for ya. Has there ever been an official Canadian G.I. Joe issued by Hasbro? I think I saw members with Canadian custom figures here.

Cheers,
Ian

Uh oh. I might be hooked. Picked up Snake Eyes, Ripcord, Eel, Elite Viper, Crimson Neo-viper and Flash. And, they're still $5 each. Sorry, I couldn't find any PIT Commandos.

Why the heck am I having such a hard time opening them up? I want to display them, and I'm sure as hell not expecting to get rich off these toys. I enjoy photographing other collectibles I've accumulated - action figures, army men... Damn the torpedoes, full package ripping ahead, right?

Cheers,
Ian

I was at Walmart about a half hour ago and wondered down the toy aisle. I took a look through the movie figures and grabbed a Pit Commando and Deep Six. They are really cool. Can't wait to set them free!

General Joe Talk / Re: Zellers having a sale.

I was at Zellers today and they had at least six of each of these vehicles. It's in the Burlington Mall if your local store is out of stock. Or, need me to pick it up, let me know. I can drop by there tomorrow.

Cheers,

General Joe Talk / A brief history of G.I. Joe
« on: August 12, 2009, 07:10:36 PM »
Something that Mike wrote got me thinking. Without the original G.I. Joe there'd be no 3 3/4" Joes. I found a short on Youtube and just had to share. The action figure reference was interesting. You can check it out on my blog at: http://authorianoneill.blogspot.com/200 ... html 

Cheers,
