....miss the single carded VvV Joes at Canadian TRU's earlier this fall?
$2.99 a head, looks like the stores got in a case or two of each because......sadly..........they is gone,gone,GONE now.
This was a crazy offering in a ways because 4 of these figures cost the same as any two pack from the previous VvV waves still warming the pegs.
Its been a infernal pity how Hasbro Canada been so timid with the GIJOE brand up here for the past decade. I've exchanged e-mails with Hasbro reps and been told that the retailers are just skittish about the brand--which is weird because Chap mei, Lanard and 21C all had a massive presence at one time or another. In my AoO, occasionally Walmart would have the odd 12" carded offering, sometimes the VvV guys, sometimes the regular 12" molded shirt militray Joes.
If you are into 12" joes, check out any Fields stores--a kind of lower-tier "micro"-Walmart that's benn up here for years. They have 12" Classic Collection Joes in windowed coffin boxes. Basic set, figure--molded shirt, belt, weapon, helmet and some kind of solitary belt item. Different services: SAS, Ranger etc.
They are $10 each--which is not a bad deal.
