THanks.

General Joe Talk / What's your favourite 25th vehicle so far?
« on: October 18, 2008, 12:18:57 PM »
Simple question. It can include any thing released, or coming up. Even Zartan's swamp skier or Matt Trakker's helipack.
I went with the Rattler. A great update (minor updates, but still) on a classic vehicle. Excluding the decals which are cheap!! It was a close decision between the Rattler and Firebat, but in the end the Rattler is just a bit more iconic to the franchise.

General Joe Talk / Another "toy swapper" strikes.
« on: October 17, 2008, 09:23:05 PM »
I'm having trouble uploading a pic so I'll just have to describe what I saw today.
I was at my local TRU (Victoria Park/Lawrence) here in Toronto. I of course swung by the Joes. Nothing of note, a few singles (wave 8 Cdn), the first 2 DVD packs, a couple Destro/IG comic packs(gold head), and a ton of HISS and Armadillo/Chariot packs.
I then saw one of the latest 3 packs. I already have all 3, but I noticed that it had something wrong. Upon closer inspection it had figures swapped. It was the Destro/IG 3 pack. Whoever it was left the Destro and took the 2 IGs. In place of them was a Star Wars droid (black C3P0 body, bug-eyed) and an old 80s IG Nullifier without his visor.
It has been a while since I saw this type of thing, so it was a bit of a surprise. I won't bother with the "oh no, theft" line. It is wrong, most of us know that, and it would just fall on deaf ears for those who don't have a problem with doing it.

General Joe Talk / Anyone getting an extra comic pack Copperhead?
« on: September 23, 2008, 08:29:48 PM »
Just thought I would ask since the new Water Moccasin(?) is coming out with a Python Patrol Copperhead. So, since there is no news of a single carded Copperhead, the only way to get the complete original style package is to use the comic pack version with the vehicle.
I'm set with one open and one MOSC set so I have my loose one ready for when it arrives.

General Joe Talk / What is the deal with single figures on Ebay (25th)
« on: September 14, 2008, 12:13:19 PM »
What's up with sellers on Ebay?
I have noticed a very strange trend on Ebay. Especially from Canadian sellers.
A strong majority of single 25th figures are being put up for $12US+. Now I understand that these figures can cost anywhere from $8-$10 pre-tax. However, it just seems ridiculous to me to keep seeing the same figures over and over again for $12-$17 each. Especially since most are on Canadian cards, which is no longer a quirk worth paying extra for.
What is your opinon?

General Joe Talk / WOW! Talk about a big ticket price. Ebay item.
« on: August 31, 2008, 11:27:11 PM »
Hey Mods, if this is not the right place for this topic, please move it.
I had been watching 3 auctions by the same guy in toronto (goes by genxtoys). I bought a complete w/box Sky Raven and a complete Night Raven (minus one bomb) w/ box and sealed Strato-Viper for $55 from him. So when I saw he had more vehicles for sale, I of course kept an eye out.
Thankfully they went for some pretty high prices to keep my from thinking about it. He had a MISB Thunderclap (US box) go for $200+. A set w/Phantom x-19 and the 2nd JOE base, both MISB, both US boxes went for $300+. Then the big one. He had a Rolling Thunder (MISB, US box) that went for $1025!!!!
I am always fascinated by these kinds of auctions. It also makes me realize that Hasbro needs to get us a large vehicle/playset in the 25th line. Hopefully all the chatter about a Terrordrome will make Hasbro look twice at possibly doing one.

General Joe Talk / Wave 12 (Wave 8 2008) "Bonus Wave pics on yojoe.com
« on: August 25, 2008, 11:13:24 AM »
I'n not sure what, if any, policy there is about linking to other sites, so feel free to add a link.
Hasbro's "Bonus" wave now has some pics.
We get 6 figures.
Tripwire (desert scheme) w/meteor element. Doesn't look significantly different from the comic pack version, but at least he comes with the element.
Storm Shadow w/ninja gear. Looks to be a wave 1 SS, but all white and with "ninja gear."
Cobra Diver w/heavy water element. This looks to be a pretty sweet figure. It is just torpedo in red, with black down the middle. I like it, but it seems kind of moot with the Eel coming out so near.
Ripper. Overall he looks exactly like the comic pack version, just the colours appear to be lighter.
Cobra Trooper. Same as wave 1, but with a red emblem. Apparently a lot of fans have been asking for this.
Python Patrol Crimson Guard. Finally, we get another figure to add to the PP ranks. It will be nice to have.
