Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / First-time traveler's questions.
« on: March 15, 2008, 06:22:12 PM »
Well, having pre-registered, I'm really looking forward to my first Joe meet.

Unfortunately, it's also my first trip out on my own, so I'm kinda nervous and uncertain about a lot of things. I'm hoping some of you guys can come to my aid on this.

For starters... how do I get to Hamilton? I know this sounds ridiculous, but the only transit system I'm used to is the public transportation in the island of Montreal, so I have no idea where to even BEGIN looking for ways to get to Hamilton. If a fellow Montrealer who's going to the meet wants to offer me a ride, I'll split the gas and promise to keep my headphones on to be as little a bother as possible...  :-
Otherwise, if anyone knows of bus companies or trains I can take to get there, I would really appreciate it.

Second question I'd have would be places to stay, if necessary. Ideally, if possible, I'd rather go home straight after the meet but if not does anyone know of a hotel or something that I could get for relatively cheap, or even better if someone'd be willing to put me up (or rather put up with me  :P) for a night?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help this poor noob out.

I haven't been to Legends in a long time, and before I waste another three hour round trip... has anyone seen the DTC Ice Sabre there recently?

Items Wanted / Lady Jaye parts needed
« on: December 24, 2006, 05:21:58 PM »
I'm looking for a v1 Lady Jaye's torso, waist and legs. Paint wear is no bother, and neither is discoloration (as long as she's not, like, puke brown or something  ;D).

If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, and happy holidays.

Quebec / Printing places?
« on: November 10, 2006, 11:43:41 PM »
Having downloaded the scans for both the Palitoy Death Star and the Action Force HQ recently, I was wondering... does anyone know a place where I can get them printed out on durable cardboard or something similar so I can finally have a Terrordrome and a GIJoe base?

Off Topic / Money orders in Canadian currency?
« on: July 17, 2006, 10:14:39 PM »
Mike and some of you other guys might have some experience with this.
I recently sold my wrestling figures over ebay (15$ for over 30 figures... I should've put a reserve of at least 30$... ?.?) and the guy wants to pay by MO, but I have no idea how to request an MO in Canadian currency... I heard this MO stuff can get complicated when it's not in US currency...

Yo guys!

Last Friday, I went to TRU with my friend to check for some stuff, and came across some recent Sigma Six figures, namely:
Firefly
Desert Long Range
Crossbow Storm Shadow
Night Ops Snake-Eyes

Just a heads up to anyone getting seriously into the new line.

Quebec / Chap Mei?
« on: June 08, 2006, 12:02:43 PM »
I'm just curious... has anyone ever been able to find some Chap Mei vehicles in the Montreal area? I can never find any, all I find are a small handful of figures.
I'm getting kind of tired of having to shop online whenever I want my Chap Mei vehicle fix.

Items Wanted / Big Ben v6
« on: May 05, 2006, 08:45:00 PM »
Hey gang.
I'm looking for the v6 Big Ben, the one that was packaged with the Road Rebel.
I'll take the whole thing with the vehicle if the price is low enough (I've seen the shipping price on MOC ones go for over 6$ shipping!  :shock: ).

Hopefully someone can help me out with this.

Customs / Cobra De A?o custom... almost.
« on: April 17, 2006, 10:54:59 PM »
I had this figure planned for MONTHS... since before June.
I saw a STAR Force 2-pack at a TRU back then, on sale (yay!) so I picked it up with the intention of using him as Cobra De A?o. I procrastinated a bit before trying out the dye. Initially, it didn't work too well... so I was determined to try again. Unfortunately, the later bath (which had to wait until I got enough more parts to dye since it's a long process) was a mistake, mostly by my fault. I left the heat on too high, and he stayed in not only the longest, but in pieces. Everything on him warped except the head... Most of it isn't really that noticeable, but the torso is a mess. It went from _/ to being |_? in shape. Still, I painted it, if only because I was curious how it would look if I hadn't failed. I think it would've looked cool (although the yellow needs some more layers to hide the detail underneath).

While the figure itself, even if it had been a success, wasn't too much of a difficult project, I had the COOLEST idea for an arsenal for him that would've required enough work and dedication to make up for it. I'm keeping it top secret for now, so no one tries to steal my idea.  :wink:

Does anyone have an extra one of these guys (is his name Vector? I never remember) so I can try again?
