Newsletter Section / Re: APRIL Newsletter is online NOW! Con info, All new comic and the HATE Tank!

Nice newsletter again!

Page 8: There is a reference to "Jonqui?re", but the accent is wrong way. It should be: Jonqui?re. Since you put the accent on this word, would you also do it to the word next to it: Qu?bec? The accent is kept even in English (see: http://canada.gc.ca/othergov-autregouv/prov-eng.html)

If you need me to take a look to any French reference before printing your final item, just ask.

I went to other US boards and people are comparing the Canadian exclusives with these 25th Crimson set. While there is no goal to win or lose over the US, in general, people like better our Canadian exclusives.   8)

Not really.... you'll see why in the newsletter. 
That's not "really" a Hiss Tank.  :shifty:

Those days, the Ghost Hawk is not the Sky Hawk, Shockblast is not Shockwave... and now the Chrome HISS is not a HISS... but how do you explain that the guy driving it have a... HISS driver head?  :lol:

I'm guessing one of the exclusive will be a vehicle, like the HISS  :shifty: or a BIG box full of :timbits:

Bio written by LARRY HAMA

It is really well done... I mean:

File name: Scrap?re (with the accent on the e  ;D) is also a reference to "scraper". The guy is taking an Armadillo to a pile of scrap.

Birth place: St. Felicen (exact spelling is St-F?licien :wink:) is well known for his wildlife zoo. What a nice place for a Chacal (Jackal): http://www.zoosauvage.com/page.php/en/1/46.html

Who said we can't learn while playing with GI Joes...?  ;D

The best way to avoid shipping fees, is to meet people at the Con, May 2!

Speaking as someone who likes cool sounding toys, "Night Force" sounds cooler than the other sub-forces.  I'd choose a Night Force dude over others just for the name alone.  Could be that there are more people out there thinking the same thing... 
They not just sounds cooler, they really are! I have Outback, Shockwave, Falcon and Crazy legs (all complete) from the NF and I love them. I paid a lot (too much) for them, Falcon and Outback now have broken elbow, but I can't see my team without them.

It's strange how Shockwave color scheme doesn't fit with the rest of the NF group. In my Joe universe, Shockwave is making a team with Snake Eyes and Low Light. The 2008 con exclusive Low Light and Shockwave are the 2 latest NF members.

100% pure bootleg from China.

Also where the Convention boxes come from.

This is NOT the set and these are NOT legit.

How are you so sure? I mean I have few bootleg. They are smaller (hard to tell for the SS from the pic), they have smaller foot and back hole (also hard to tell) and they are backward rivets (this is not the case for them).

OK, these are made in China, like the legit figs made for Hasbro or Master Collection. So, why are you so sure those are fake? I mean, I hope you are right. So far, these hints are right:

"Imagine something old and something new,
Something foreign and nothing blue."

"I see my image reflected back,
And who is that person not wearing black?"

"I am you, and you are me,
That's why we have our own army."

"We battle in foreign lands but NOT in the shadows.
You've seen us before, but now we bend more."

Anybody look at today's date yet?
It just seems to me that someone at the factory spent some time with a chroming machine.

I'm not sure this is a joke because it is an eBay auction ending April 5th.
