And...According to Hasbro Canada at the Con, Canada will be getting all the exclusives!!!

I don't know if it was intentional on Hasbro's part to release the MARS movie preview three pack to Walmart Canada when they did,  but after reading the latest GIJoe Collectors Club newsletter---it states that the MARS set is an online only exclusive and wont be available until June.  They even boast that will be a full month before the other figures hit the shelves. 
Meanwhile, our Walmarts have had the figures stocked since late March.

Bonus!  and about time we get something first.

Wow, that makes absolutely no sense what so ever.  If you are releasing a "preview" set, why would you make it online only?

Sorry you had to let yours go xhairs.

As for the other auction.  My prediction is that it won't sell.  It has two big strikes against it.  The first is the starting price.  WAY TOO HIGH!!!!  Second is the seller.  A completely new seller with no feedback, and asking a high price for an item?  Not likely that anyone is going to be willing to take the risk.

Definitely no real surprises or big revelations in the slideshow (they save all that stuff for SDCC

Hence my plea for more pretty marketing assistants! =) But in all seriousness, it's nice to have Hasbro Canada endorse the convention but the reality is Hasbro USA controls all the business decisions, so while I can appreciate Greg trekking out there each year, there's really nothing new or surprising being brought to the table.  Hasbro Canada's still working out distribution with the big box retailers here, and they are still working out ways to allow Canadians to purchase from the online toyshop, we still wont get product in Quebec if it isn't in french, bah it's like the Q&As we do every month...same questions, same answers.

Like all previous movies before G.I. Joe we ALL should expect a glut of movie toys clogging our shelves by mid-Summer because that's what the big boxes want - that's just reality.  Any word on future new-era single carded joes after the movie?  They can't say.  Any word on Resolute expanding?  They can't say.  It's a vicious cycle.

Hey at least they answered my question finally.  The one about what happened with the wave 1 vehicle case change.

Anyone check out the thread on the COIL?

The guy DuneEcho says he can't find his con set?!?!?!!!

That has got to be the worst news!!!!!

Great pics!!  I'm in the 4th pic (bald guy far left).

I also forgot to say how great it was that they chromed the stand for the Frostback trooper!!!
