I like that no matter how bad their situation is, they insist on the subscription deadline, yet they wont set up a Paypal account to accommodate their members.

Those Footloose and Man of Evil figures will be hot sellers on Ebay.

Maybe it's time for Hasbro to take the club back.
A website that looks like it wasn't updated since the second day of the Internet?
With all the solutions available, why would they keep it up like that?

Do they insist on doing things their way? If so, it just bit them in the ass.

People said to Hasbro that they were tired of Storm Shadow. The last two figures (Desert and Spin Kick) were not very popular, so Hasbro probably decided to play it safe and packed Renegade SS one per case. They even decided to repack Ripcord in Wave 4 instead of SS. Of course they decided to play safe when they make the ultimate version of the character, go figure.

On a happier note, the Renegade Stormy mold will be used for 3 different figures in the Retaliation line.

Bric à Brac on Ontario street restocked their Joe pegs.
Sadly it's the same stuff we're stuck with at TRU and the other big stores. Blowtorch, Hawk and the gang.
Great deals on Playmobil though, so if you're into smiling characters, it's the place to go.  ;D

1 000 000 Comics and Captain Quebec have various Renegades and 30th figures available.
Last time I went there and it's confirmed on their website, Legends has pretty much all the recent figures available too.
Funny how the comic stores around town have better assortments of GIJoe figures than the big chains.

The way Joes are distributed, people should grab what they want when they see it, because the stores might only get one case.
That or they'll only have access to a certain assortment that will come back again and again... and again.

Clearance is good for custom fodders and army building.

no, Lamont Cranston AKA The Shadow. the old pulp hero, played in a movie from the 90s by Alec Bladwin.
Yes, THIS Shadow.
The old radio show is awesome.

Consider the upcoming pilots and drivers with 5 points of articulations as retro chic.
Who knows, hipsters might dig these.  ;D

5 PoA driver figure is still better that a sculpted half-driver stuck in the vehicle.
Positivism!

Poor guys. Those figs are still $6.97 (American) at Wally-World down here.  I bet they go up by the time the movie stuff comes out though.
That price won't be an issue until we actually have stuff to buy which probably will be the new movie merchandise.

They should have waited for the movie toys to change the price.
I think it would be easier to swallow for the general public to see new toys for a new movie at a new price.
Oh so many new things. ;D

Like I said in the Quebec thread, what's the point of rising the prices when you have nothing to sell?
People didn't buy that lonely Blowtorch for $8, what makes them think that he'll go for $10.77?
They should wait for a new assortment before rising the price.

It's a bummer that the prices are rising.
It would be easier to swallow if that raise actually came with new merchandise.
Why rise the prices at a time when there's barely anything on the pegs and what's left doesn't sell anyways?
