I am DEFINITELY on board for at least 2 cases/sets if you can get your cousin to buy them- that would be fantasic!

I would like at least one set. One is better than none if possible. Are any new joe products appearing this drought makes me angry. Walmart that stopped carrying Joes have pegs out for the new joes but nothing yet. That's the one near Toys R Us

Speaking of variants, VipersKingdom recently sold a carded Retaliation G.I.Joe Trooper with the brown mask and cape: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...vip=true&rt=nc ALSO, this is interesting... The Retaliation single-carded Firefly has translucent yellow/green forearms that become illuminated from his electronic light-up board vehicle. Pretty neat. http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-I-Joe-2012...#ht_841wt_1396

Since vehicles and 12" figures are hitting now, does anyone think we'll see Retaliation figures before the May 28 date? I wonder if we'll see a full blown front of the store display at TRU?

Doubt the front store display. That goes to the Avengers! Sad but I think they know the Avengers is the bigger draw and will run with that instead of GI Joe.

Who really cares? I mean honestly, most of the Retaliation line is garbage. Let the kids have their movie line that's aimed at them. I don't think anyone have much trouble finding what they want.
Bring on the GIJCC Sub and Con registration.

Yes, this line is mostly garbage, especially in the first 2 waves. But since there is a major motion picture slated to come out along with a decent sized toy line about the exact property this site specializes in, I though people would care to talk about it. Screw the GI Joe Club sub and the convention. It's overpriced garbage that costs Hasbro little more to make than the retail stuff since it's 90% repaints and 10% new tooling. $300 for a set of figures is ridiculous. That's one car payment, 1/4 of my mortgage, groceries for a month, preschool tuition for 2 months. Thanks but no thanks. GI Joe Club isn't doing me any favors. Let's call a spade a spade - take away the exclusives and it's be a shit show. Half the people wouldn't give it a second thought. |

Preschool tuition?
Last I checked it was supposed to be a GI Joe forum. My point was the movie stuff will be everywhere. Does it really matter if someone puts it out a week or so before the "release date" of May 28th? You'll be able to find it with ease. But you're right. Let us celebrate the glory that is Paramount presents Ninja Showdown: GI Joe a real international hero. Take away the Club exclusives and no one would care? Well, yeah...I thought exclusives were the point of the club. Who signs up for the little magazine?

I caved and bought a dollar store Shipwreck off of ebay. He was my only "must have" from this set. I'd like to have the other 3 Joes but I can wait on those.

What else would you call the money paid to a preschool for your 3-5 year old? Education starts before Kindergarten, unless your child is gifted and doesn't need any assimilation to a structured classroom environment and guidance on proper interaction with his/her peers. And it was probably unclear but I was also refering to the Con being crap, not just the Club. The con wouldn't get half the people it gets if it weren't for the exclusives. The guest list sucks and who needs to spend hundreds of dollars in travel and hotel just for a glorified Joe flea market. |
