General Joe Talk / Re: Toy Fair '09: 25th 3/4 figures in seven figure packs
« on: February 15, 2009, 03:56:07 PM »
I was a little disappointed to see them grouped together like this. What if you want to army/squad build one of those troops? You're going to end up with a ton of extras! I guess it's better than nothing. That's what message boards and ebay are for.

I was really looking forward to more Resolute stuff. I hope now that they're reshuffling stuff that we'll get at least one more single pack wave that is fully Resolute. A Baroness, Destro, Storm Shadow, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Roadblock and a re-release of the Trooper would be ideal. I know I'd buy a case of that.

If anyone sees these in a Wal-Mart, TRU or Zellers in the Toronto or Hamilton area please post here. I haven't seen them round these parts yet. Silver Snail has them but they are $49.99 (OUCH!)

General Joe Talk / Re: More Movie Toys revealed - Including the PIT!

The PIT looks beautiful. It's not overly sleek or techno, it will fit in quite nicely with classic stuff. I'll have to see close ups to make a final decision, but I like what I see so far.

Thanks Storm.Shadow! You're hints have helped me out many times! (The Sigma 6 stuff at Winners a while back saved me hundreds). I'm going to go check my Wal-Mart now.

Not to take away from Eternity, but if you work in downtown Toronto you definitely want to check out Silver Snail. They have a fairly good selection (although a bit depleted lately) and their price is better than retail now, only $8.99. I expect that to go up once they get in wave 13 though. They get everything in eventually, but it doesn't always stay in stock very long, so you gotta go often or at least watch their site updates. www.silversnail.com

General Joe Talk / Re: Toys'R'Us Raises Prices on Some Joes.

My local comic shop has raised their prices on Wave 10 single packs to $11.99 while their older stock is still $8.99. That price increase is pretty hard to swallow for such a little figure. I'm hearing of general price increases in the MSRP in the US.

Snail did end up getting wave 10 in, but it didn't seem like very many. By the time I checked at 7 they only had 2 Tiger Force Dukes left.

I was just there myself. I was disappointed to see no wave 10. Hopefully they'll be in later today or tomorrow. They're still listed as arriving today. I almost missed the vehicles, I assumed they'd be with the figures. I grabbed another RAM/Flight Pod cause I just got everything else I wanted from BBTS. I'll check again before they close for wave 10 and report back.

Hello all. I've been lurking for a couple weeks and had to pop in. Silver Snail is apparently getting all the vehicles in on Wednesday (as well as wave 10 single packs @ $8.99). They are listed in their storefront section which means they'll be getting a limited amount just in their store on Queen in Toronto (and maybe Ottawa). They won't be available to order through their website unless they list them on the main page. No word on their price point, but it's usually a few bucks over mass retail. I predict $25 each. Don't be too greedy, I want to grab a few things myself!
