General Joe Talk / Early Release of Movie Figures?
« on: June 18, 2009, 01:17:47 PM »
I heard tell that the movie figures may be released early (this was completely separate from me hunting for any accidentally released product).  I called Hasbro this morning to confirm the rumours and the Hasbro CSR did confirm the release date for at least Wave 1 (I confirmed with specific figs) was moved up from July to June - including Canada.

Next, I called the closest Wal-mart and spoke to the Hasbro area manager and she said she just had the Hasbro rep in yesterday and they had  a "mod" (or something like that) of movie stuff out this morning.

I hopped in the car and 40 minutes later I was there.  All I could find was the 3 packs though!?!?!?  I tracked her down and she meant only the 3 packs were back in stock.  I thought I was clear, but I guess not....

I went to Zellers and TRU.  Zellers had none in stock or in the back and TRU was sticking to their July 10 (?) date.

Epic fail.

At least I had it confirmed the release date was moved up.

General Joe Talk / Hershey Promo For The Movie
« on: June 18, 2009, 12:03:09 AM »
I saw a display for movie tie-in Hershey chocolate while hunting for accidentaly released toys today at Toys'R'Us in London.  Reese's PB Cups (3 pack), Skor, Oh Henry and Hersheys Cookies and Cream have Joe and Cobra logos on the packages.  There is also one of those enter on-line contests that runs from July 1 until August 31.

Down the street at 7-11, I saw a Reese PB 2 pack with movie Stormy on the package.

This kind of promotion makes me feel somewhat better....

Someone at the Con mentionned Tao Bao.  I looked at the site.  Is ther anyway to get it translated?  Anyone have general advice on how to work the site?

The deals seem much better on this site than eBay in general.

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Early Bird Vs. VIP Pass
« on: April 27, 2009, 11:12:48 AM »
If I am reading it right, there are 3 ways to gain admission for adults:

Early Bird - $15, 08:30, no chance of buying con set
VIP - $15, required to buy con set, in the doors at 09:00?
Regular - $10 - 09:00, no chance of getting set

Correct?

How is the freebie table being handled this year?  Are the younger collectors being let in first for a crack at it? What's the age limit?

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Questions For Hasbro
« on: April 18, 2009, 03:38:27 PM »
Any chance we can collect a few questions for Hasbro in the next week or so and see if they can bring answers with them to the Con?

I'd like to know if we are getting the TRU exclusive Headquarters for Heroes Movie Wave.

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / CanJoe Con vs. Free Comic Day
« on: April 08, 2009, 09:44:49 PM »
Maybe I wasn't paying attention too well, but weren't these two events a week apart at one point?

This may make my decision on whether I am attending (also partialy due to me having to buy $500 in passports for myself, my wife and 3 kids for my sister's wedding in Va (thank you Bush and Obama)) a little easier.

This is a radio morning show on FM96 in London. They have a weekly contest called The Block Party.
This week they went to St. Thomas to the home of I believe of Sarah and Greg? Apparently Greg has a Joe collection set up in his basement. Anyone we know?

Anyone have favourite podcasts they really enjoy?

My favourites are Mugglecast, The ForceCast and About Comics.  Word Balloon and Coffee Break French are good too.

Any other ones strongly recommended?  GIJoe review is OK....
