JoeCanuck

I just ordered cases of both wave 5 & 6 to make sure I got a lower price, as my comicshop charges $14.99 as well. As is, I ended up paying $10 each but ended up with extra non-troop building figures that I hope to sell/trade. Wave 1 of 30th is looking stellar for troop builders. 10 out of 12 figs are troop builders. Can't get much better than that.

In general, I found both wave sto be better in hand than in pics and sitting around thinking about them. Still have some strong dislikes like Jungle BAT and Cobra Commander, but all in all they are solid and have some real gems as well.

I was quite pleased with Justins (GeneralsJoes.com) idea in his review of the General Hawk figure where he placed the 25th Hawk (based on 1982 version) head on this new PoC version. Looks terrific. I agree that if the head had matched the card art, we'd of had one incredible figure.

Hey everyone,

I've been around on Joe sites for over a decade now but this is the first time I've joined JoeCanuck, no idea why really, as I am a Canadian.

I've really gotten back into GI Joe with the PoC line and with 30th coming up and the new movie looking to be better than the first attempt I'm stoked about the future of our beloved franchise.

This is my fourth go around with GI Joe, my original childhood romp from 82-87, my return in 2000 until Valor vs Venom where I lost interest, only to return again in 2007 for the 25th line, but then fade out again during the RoC releases. Hopefully this time it'll stick.

I know a few of you from other Joe sites as well as projects I've worked on with other Joe fans like the online comicbook Cobra The Enemy and the Mission:FACES and Call to Valor GIJoe TCG expansions.

Looking forward to getting to know the rest of you!
