Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Canadian Convention Figures

« on: December 14, 2008, 12:23:15 AM »

Are there enough figures being produced to go around for this years convention? I would like to get one for myself and one for my brother who is unable to attend. From the past years I see production of at most 30 figures. How many are being produced for this year? Do we have to pre-register for them? Also do we have to pre-register for the convention?

General Joe Talk / Rusted SCrews In Vintage Figures

« on: December 14, 2008, 12:14:39 AM »

Hello everyone,

I recently began putting new o-rings in many of my vintage figures that were getting loose. I have a few figures that have rusted screws that became stripped when I try to take them apart. What can I do to get these apart? Also where can I but extra screws for them?

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / What does everyone want to see/do at the Joe Con

« on: November 28, 2008, 12:59:12 PM »

I want to hear evryones idea's about what they would like to see or do at this years Canadin Joe Convention. Whether it is seminars on collecting in general, diorama making, customizing, open forum with various presenters, comic related stuff, buying/selling/trading and so on.

Since this years convention will be my first. I am really looking forward to learning alot more about the finer aspects of collecting GIJoe. I have an idea that I'm currently beginning. I am making a 5 level structure of The Pit. In the GIJoe Yearbook #1 comic it had a diagram of the pit with floorplans for each level. So I'm planning on making one out of wood. The top will have the garages, driveways and grass. It should be pretty cool when done.

As for what I would like to see at the convention how about a seminar on constructing buildings for use in large diorama's. With the class focus on building of the structures not setting up the diorama.

Off Topic / Where to get Star Cases for loose figures

« on: November 28, 2008, 12:13:45 AM »

Hey everybody,
Does anyone know where I can buy some small star cases or such for loose figures? I want to buy a few hundred and stock up. If anyone would be interested in doing a group buy, let's say 1000-2000, let me know. If we get that many they would probably be pretty cheap.

« on: November 15, 2008, 06:53:10 PM »

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to throw it out there. Maybe we can start a weekly meeting in the Hamilton/Burlington area. If anyone is interested in starting something like that let me know and I will start planning it and looking for good locations. We could have one night every week to go over different topics like customs, protecting your collection, GIJoe news, trading, and so on. My email address is disco3000@hotmail.com Feel free to drop me a line to let me know you would be interested in this.
