General Joe Talk / GI JOE: ROC comic adaptation #1
« on: July 03, 2009, 03:10:45 PM »
Well I read the first issue of the comic adaptation.

I have to say, if this is faithful to the movie, then the opening 20-30 minutes of the movie should be pretty good action and story.  I of course won't spoil it for anyone, but we get some good character development combined with some great action.

Also, SE looks to be pretty bad ass right away.

Ontario / ROC Figures at Walmart
« on: June 26, 2009, 07:18:11 PM »
SOmeone I trust has posted a sighting on another board of ROC figs and vehicles at the Walmart at Jane/Hwy 7 in Toronto (Vaughn).  Little to far for me to check out, but I trust the sighting.

Just thought I would ask. 

Between Wolverine, MU, SW, TFs and now GI JOE it seems like they went for quantity over planning for most lines this year.  They most likely will report their best year ever in sales, but it seems like it will only be because they pumped out seemingly double the product of previous years.

Do you think JOE has suffered because of it?  MU?  Or is it just us who suffer with too much choice??  :lol:

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Is there going to be a customs table?
« on: April 14, 2009, 11:57:06 AM »
I haven't seen any mention of there being a customs display this year.

Just wondering if there will be, and what we need to do to bring some.

General Joe Talk / "CHROME" Hiss Tank.

As seen here:

and here:

Current discussions have it pegged as most likely a custom (lunch time special), or possibly a con exclusive.

I'm hoping for a Sky Patrol vehicle!!!! (not very likely).

Hey everyone.  I have a couple of auctions going on right now.

The one Joe related item is a custom I did last year.  Take a look, and if you have a question just ask.

I got to thinking about this as I finished reading the latest issue of the new IDW series. 

GI JOE over the years has gone from 1 man to an elite force with varying degrees of staffing.  Each incarnation since 82 has had a core group to start that has varied.  So with IDW's take on the franchise now I thought I would ask what kind of roster/make-up for the team/person would you go with?

After some thought, I came up with a Stargate SG1 make-up.

I would have the GI JOE team made up of small groups of 5(Alpha, Beta, etc) and each group would have a commander.  Each group would then of course report to a General.  It would start out with only 2 teams, but of course it could easily expand as needed.

For me it would be Joe Colton as the General.  Sorry Hawk, but you don't appear in my version.  A nod to the original has to be made.

Alpha team would be Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Shipwreck & Roadblock (NO HEAVY DUTY, EVER!!!).  These are the big boys who have been together for some time and work well together.  Once Beta team was activated, it became a rivalary between the 2 teams.  Everyone is friendly and has no problems working together, but Beta wants to be top dog and don't hide that.  Of course for big missions, everyone can come together.

Beta team would be Flint, Jinx, Stalker, Mainframe & Gung-Ho. 

Yes, each team has a some "stereotypes" or "staples" of the JOE mythos, but I had to go with what I know and feel.

The team has air support from Wild Bill and Ace.  However they are there for everyone, and only rarely would take part in an operation outside of air support.

I already have a third team lined up, but I wouldn't introduce them until the second season of a series or after 12 issues of a comic.  That team would be:

Beach Head, Tunnel Rat, Lady Jaye, Spirit & Bazooka. 

So, anyone else have no life, like me, and spent way too much time making up a scenario?

Items Wanted / Need a Night Raven red missile/bomb pack
« on: March 18, 2009, 08:49:07 PM »
Hey, hey!!

Just looking for one of the red bomb packs that hold 2 missiles/bombs.  It is the last piece I need to finish off my Night Raven.  I don't really have anything to trade, so it would probaby have to be a cash deal.

General Joe Talk / Speculation about Movie toy pricing?
« on: February 13, 2009, 11:14:27 PM »
Just wondering what everyone is thinking about movie toys and pricing for us lucky Canadians?  These are all guesses by me, so don't take them as any informed opinion.

Basic Figures/12":  Should be the same as always up here.

Vehicles:  Ok, we have a couple of price points. 

CLASS A: $16US. $20(maybe) CDN for a single small vehicle & figure?  Is that worth it to you?  Maybe we get lucky and they stay at the same price as the US market.

CLASS B: $25US.  $30 CDN.  I think it is a safe bet that if these are $25 in the US we will see at least a $5 markup.

NIGHT RAVEN:  This is going to be $40 US.  So I figure at least $50 up here.

PIT:  $99.99 in the US and probably the same here at Walmart.  I'm basing this off the AT-TE from last year.

General Joe Talk / GI JOE: The Rise of Cobra Trailer.
« on: January 31, 2009, 03:32:18 PM »
Just a quick heads up.  www.comingsoon.net has the ad for tomorrow's Superbowl online.  I had to download the file and play it since it would load for me on the site.

Well, at first I was patient and hopeful.  Then until watching this I was worried, and a little scared.  Now, I am somewhat hopeful again.  It looks to me like the Baroness, Destro, SE and SS are going to be the stand outs of the movie.  It also looks pretty sweet on the action front, but I can see this being too over the top for most people.

From just this one trailer I am going to go out on a limb and say Eccelston as Destro will be the scene stealer (in a good way).
