Below are several pictures that I took. If you click on the picture twice, you will get a much larger view. I would like to thank Matthew Purdy of Toy Traders in Langley, BC for allowing me to take pictures and posting them for joecanuck. This by far is the best set up I have ever scene in regards to GI JOE. His Heman and Star Wars dios were great as well (I can post those pictures later).

Wow! I want to play there.
So, the Rock Vipers in the last picture, did I miss something because I want to know how those guns are stuck to the figures back packs.

As for Morgardee's question, the guns have always been able to snap on to the Rock Vipers' packs.

This is why I am going to use Joeindex as my default GI JOE reference as I didn't know about the gun and backpack thing as well

Nah, it was a 2001 built building and I did the inspection their last year. I do an easy building on the day I fly in and out. The last thing you want is to miss your flight or I would have to stay another day.

I have to imagine that the store is massive. What is the stuff that is for sale like - how are their shelves set up with those distrations above?
Post by: Pete The Greek on November 25, 2005, 07:17:10 PM
The figures and vehicles for sale were set up in glass cabinets, eye level, on the floor. You set it on the webpage http://www.toytraders.ca/gijoe1.html (http://www.toytraders.ca/gijoe1.html) I didn't bother taking pictures of this.
Stuff for sale included most of the regular guys from 1982 to around 1992. Prices would be comparable to ebay from 3-4 years ago when GI JOE hit it's peak. I just bought some 4 bucks figures and some animals for my dios (penguins, polar bears).

I should get rid of it, repaint, and then......... nah.... still not enough room.

You can't be serious? Do what Mike is doing. Plan a vacation with the wife for Vancouver down the road. And considering the flight is about 5 hours, take West Jet out of Hamilton. Nothing beats watching sat. tv on a long flight. And don't go at this time of year. I got freaking fog and some rain the 4 days I was out there last week. August is really nice.
