FULL REPORT HERE: http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/...-answers-7248/
Well I just got back from the Joe Meet in Hamilton. I have to say I was quite happy with the selection and prices. I managed to get a bunch of stuff I wasn't expecting for a lot less than I was expecting. SORRY BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A CAMERA SO NO PICS. IF ANYONE ELSE WAS THERE AND TOOK PICS FEEL FREE. Anyway, the big news was Hasbro. First, they had all six of Wave 9 (wave 5 2008) on display. Black SS, Hawk, Bazooka, BBQ, BAT, Snow Serpent. They were loose in a small glass case. THEY LOOKED AMAZING IN PERSON!!! Even Black SS and Hawk. Bazooka looked really good (I wasn't expecting him to). Some mentioned that Bazooka could very easily be used to make a Horrorshow (he is pretty bulky). BBQ looked great, and his accessories were 10/10!! Needless to say, you guys won't be disappointed by these figures. They looked much better than the first images. Second, Hasbro had a survey for us to fill out. It was the usual stuff with demographic questions, buying habits and what figures we would like to see made. Surprisingly it was very general and not "Canadian" focused. Third, we now have confirmation on the vehicles coming to Canada. I know there wasn't any real doubt about it, but it was confirmed by Hasbro reps. As well, by filling out the survey you were entered into a contest for the chance to win a complete set of wave 1 vehicles before they hit the market. Seeing Larry Hama was great, but I didn't get a chance to get in line (I was on a tight time frame). The "father" of modern GI JOE is someone I was glad to at least see in person. Overall a great show, and some nice confirmations for us Canucks!! |

I will confirm that the figures looked BAD ASS!! I drove 5 hours to get to the hotel last night before the show - I was suppling one of the dealers with 9 cases of Target exclusives..
anyhow - I also filed out the survey and it was fairly generic - but at the same time - they where looking for answers if there would be a market for such things as Playsets, variants, Vehicles etc.. they are listening! The figures back to the topic - where bad ASS - I too forgot my camera otherwise I would have taken photos - they looked GREAT! |

It was my first year making it to the show and I really enjoyed myself! To meet Larry Hama and get some stuff signed was fantastic and I even won a small door prize too.
Wave nine looked perfect and my fav figure is a tie between the Bat and Bazooka. The Bat's chest looked perfect and Bazooka was huge! O, Hawk also looked alot better (his face) then the pics on the web.Sorry everybody, also no pics. |

hmmm they say Canada wont get US imports, does that mean comic stores who special order them from the states wont get them anymore? Those comic stores are my sole means next to ebay in getting figures :(
