General Joe Talk / New Skystriker will be called "SKYFIGHTER" in Canada
« on: May 10, 2011, 09:38:53 AM »
Due to trademark issues, the SkyStriker (as we know it) cannot be sold with that name in Canada. As such, our packaging will carry the name "SKYFIGHTER". This name change may apply in other countries as well, however the USA release will still be called "Skystriker"
The toy itself will of course be identical, only the packaging/name will be different. Look for it on shelves this fall.
You heard it here first! Your #1 source for Canadian GIJOE information!

Joecanuck Asked:
1) Will Hasbro run another votes choice for future characters or vehicles to be produced for the 30th anniversary?
Hasbro Answered:
Joecanuck Asked:
2) POC 2 Recondo has a decidedly odd "poacher" vibe to him( using bear traps and what looks like a Haida bear mask) --was he ever intended to be an updated Dreaknok Gnawgahyde?
Hasbro Answered:
Joecanuck Asked:
3) The Skystriker has been reported that it will not come with a parachute - if this is true will there be a mount on the back of the seat so we can put our own parachute?

1) We don't have any plans for that at the moment. One of the challenges that we will have next year for the 30th is that we will also want to celebrate the movie that is currently scheduled for release in August!

2) The designer who worked on Recondo was definitely inspired by Gnawgahyde, but believe us he was never intended to be this Dreadnok character. Early in the POC concept stage, we only had one specialist per "region" - and we knew that the Jungle Specialist had to tell a great story and look like a real adventurer. I think the Poacher vibe ended up being a coincidence more than anything.

3) Sorry, that rumor is not true. But, I suppose if you were an ambitious enough customizer you could fashion a 'chute. That being said, the seat may require a larger chute to support the weight. May be a fun challenge for a custom project, but the current Skystriker seat is meant to be non-removable.

All Across Canada / Target Exclusive Deluxe Figures (Wave 2) Clearanced at Zellers
« on: January 21, 2011, 02:13:05 PM »
These are the small figures/vehicle sets that have been priced at 29.99 forever.
My Zellers has them "clearance" priced at $22.99
However with the current "50% off clearance toys" promo - that brings them down to $11.49
Plus, if you have an HBC card and use it to pay this weekend (Fri through Sun) you can get another 10% off.
I also found the Clone Wars ARC-170 (Shadow) on "clearance" for $79.99, half of which is $39.98 minus 10% if you use the HBC card.
