Hasbro sells GI JOE star cases on their site www.hasbrotoyshop.com (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com)

However they don't ship to Canada.  So unless you have someone to get them for you, I would stick with the other versions available to Canadians.

I would buy these things if they cost like 50 cents each, but I'm not paying $1.50 for 3 cents worth of plastic.

I have a bunch of these that I just replaced with the Hasbro cases.  If you're interested in some let me know.

As for the Hasbro cases...by the time you get them shipping here they cost a little over 2$ each, not to mention that Hasbro just increased the price from $10 to $15 (on a 10$)....but they are really nice!

What is the difference between the Habro cases and the one you have Storm Shadow? That, and how much do you want for your old ones?

The Hasbro cases have a few benefits:

#1) They aren't as deep as the star cases I have so I find you see the figure better and there's a lot less wasted space.  The star case is almost twice as deep as it needs to be for a G.I. joe figure.  Other then that the star case fits perfectly and works pretty well.  I just needed the space.

#2) The Hasbro case adds a couple of nice touches with G.I. Joe stamped on the back cover as well as a Cobra symbol up top.  If you have a Mail-In Doc figure the case is just about the same, but a little deeper.

I can take pictures tonight when I get home.

I would still go with the Star Case.
I can't find the link, (I thought I had it bookmarked), but the Star Cases will protect your figures from sunlight whereas the Joe ones won't.
