Ontario / walmart restocked wave 4
« on: December 09, 2004, 04:08:48 PM »
as of this morning (thursday) the pegs were full of wave 4 figs at the 4th ave walmart in St. Catharines.  Not as good as getting wave 5 and/or 6 but better than nothing!

one of the wallyworlds in St Catharines, ON got ONE box of w4 in about a month ago, and now they've recently restocked....wave 2!?!  I wonder if hoping for w5 & 6 is now a lost cause...

General Joe Talk / Customizing Joes
« on: December 05, 2004, 12:22:42 PM »
Anyone know of any good sites that cover Joe customizing?  Like going through the basics of how to do it, not just pics of people's creations.  I wanna know stuff like how to remove paint and doing sanding and priming etc.

I don't get it. there are 3 Walmarts near me and I can't find this at any of them. Did they get new stock in on these or is this old stock?


My Walmarts don't have them either, maybe they got wise to the Unicron overstock problem with Armada's version last year.

BTW, I'm a moc collector so I havn't opened these. Do these guys have the metal parts like in the 80's or are they all plastic?


They are 99% reproductions of originals, so anything diecast back in the 80s is diecast now.  the changes are mostly with weapons and how toy laws changed in the past 20 years:  missiles are longer, many (but not all) chromed pieces are now black since vacuumized plastic is brittle and sharp when broken.

General Joe Talk / w4 Gung-Ho
« on: November 06, 2004, 06:17:29 PM »
I picked up my remaining w4 VvV figs off layaway yesterday (yeah I was THAT broke when they came in :D )  and I gotta say, despite the action-attack, Gung-Ho is great!  I switched his gun to the M4 w/shotgun attachment and he looks real kick-ass.  I think if/when this fig gets fitted with an O-ring it'll be near perfect.  Link has already become my VvV Quick Kick after I gave him w4 Snake Eyes' pseudo-chucks.  I thought I would dislike this figure but I really think it's good now.  Wild Weasel is cool, but I wish Hasbro had added a few more paint apps, especially on all the sculpted Cobra symbols.  I also hope the Night Adder shows up here at some point, the only Cobra machine I have is the BTR Night Raven (which VvV WW is piloting now, looks pretty good actually but I'd prefer the Adder).  Night Creeper is suitably creepy 8) ; even though they aren't in the movie I like how their filecards mention they are the DNA thieves.  Since their drones did the evil deed in the movie it's technically true.  And w4 Snake Eyes looks great in black, that mold really smokes now but as the guy from gneralsjoes mentioned, his hands get all fubared from being tied down to the handlebars in the package.  The bike looks good and of course was an essential part of that cool ninja scene.  Now that I have the whole w4 assortment, I'd say that this wave has overall been the best so far in the VvV line.

Ontario / Humvee
« on: November 01, 2004, 11:33:08 AM »
The JS Humvees arrived in St Catharines' TRU this past week as did the Stealth Jet.  The Humvee is great!  I'm thinking about getting the stealth at some point too.

Weeee! That's awesome news. Pay day is Friday so hopefully by the weekend these will start showing up in Ontario.

Just picked up w4 from wallyworld in St. Catharines (near Niagara Falls)

Just hit the 4th ave Walmart in St.Catharines.

They restocked on wave 3, but no wave 4. Perhaps you are thinking of the wrong wave?


Nope.  When they stock new waves they usually get maybe one box in for some unknown reason...this means 2 of each 2-pack (except the short-packed set, I think this time it's Kam and SS).  I bought one set, which leaves only one other set for rabid scalpers to get.  I'm positive it was wave 4 because I got Billy, Tyrone, George Strawhacker, Dicky Sapperstein, Ramone, Wade Collins (w/removable Crimson Guard spytroops gear), The Hard & Soft Masters, Mangler and Cool Breeze  :lol:

Well maybe not those figures exactly:thumbsup:   But yeah it was definitely wave 4.  I think the Razor Trooper/Sand Scorpion (w/Neurotoxin colours) 2-pack is still there, so technically there is a bit of wave 4 left...

Wave 4 was at the 4th Ave Wal-Mart in St. Catharines today.  My figure is great :lol:

Go buy it now, and that's an order!

Bounty Hunter Toys is a great shop.  The prices are not super stupid and there is a lot of Joe stuff, much more than I expected.  Just be sure to visit the website beforehand and make sure you understand the promotions :thumbsup:
