I got my email too.
I'm going to pick them up tomorrow morning (ah la joie des vacances)

Funny thing is, I received a cobra pack in the mail today so I'll be able to keep one MIB.

That 5 pack Storm Shadow is super cool. THey even made a small point on the top of his mask.

Huh...
I thought that having the 25th anniversary figures available in Montreal would generate more interest than just the two of us.

Yes, strange... Whatever I think they are really great. More like a SW figures but with Joes caracteristics. Price was a little bit high wouldhave been less if I oprdered from MC.

i got the LAST figure from ledgend :D

I was really happy i went there, i got my first 25th anniversary joe now (single pack storm shadow) now i got to just wait for Guru-planet to get there act together and ship me my pre-orders

The figure was a bit pricy ($15) but i am glad i finally have one. I also picked up the re-release of the Cobra rattler, i hope it's more stable then the older one as i bought it so when kids come over they'll have a version to play with.

Also i found a wicked trailer i am going to be customizing into a 'dreadnok trailer' at winners. It fits the joes perfect, has alot of stuff to it and was only $20.

Do you have more info on that (a link? a pic?)? I didn't heard about it.

Thanks,

Martin

the re-release rattler isn't super new, but I like having playable versions of all my toys for when kids come over I am not just saying 'you can look but not touch', that'd just be too cruel to see a whole room of toys that a kid can't play with. And the othe two rattlers i have i wouldn't let any kid touch, so this was an awesome find for me.

I am not sure if i am going to paint it blue like the original rattler yet or not.

They also have the origianal gi joe headquarters, the oil platform and another gi joe base there too.

Ok, I knew that version... The colors look strange.. paint it blue...

I also notice that version does not have a cover over the gunner turrent. I have the original one and also the A-10 Thunderbolt (still in box). I can't decide if I should open the box or not...

Thanks,

Martin

i have two of the original ones (i like all my toys to be in 3's for army building)

i like that version cause i wouldn't feel bad if a kid played with that one,,,i wouldn't let one touch my older ones, they are too fragile.
