ok I'd just like to see a show of hands for which international countries are still stocking joes on the shelves ? I know Ireland and UK and pretty much all Europe don't have em unless you count independent sellers who import them in.
but I'm wondering about those countries ouside of there and the states ? the seem to have them in the Philippines and other parts of Asia. so lets just see what we can find out as to how international demand for joes have been handled if at all?

Nothing in Australia. A few places have old ROC stock but nothing around where I am (otherwise I'd buy it all).

there is nothing in Australia at general retail although you still find a few RoC figs in bargain bins that have been gathering dust since the movie came out. Ive only seen PoC in 1 Specialist comic store here and that seemed like a one off

Walmart had RoC wave 1-2 here in Argentina.
Big toy stores have them still (restocked recently). 25th and PoC never made it (aside of independant importers)

I'm in the middle of a deal with a guy from Malaysia who echoed what was said here, they only have them at smaller specialty shops and the markup makes it more economical to buy them from here and have them shipped there.
I was in the Philippines over Thanksgiving 09 and they were up-to-date on the ROC stuff at the time. They also had 25th vehicles W5 at retail there, including at TRU. The pricing was all over the place though. Some of it was cheaper than here ($10 for a Stinger at TRU), some of it was on par and some of it was ridiculously expensive ($100 for the Target RHINO). |

Only found two stores here in São Paulo, Brazil with Joes, and both of them had mostly RoC wave 1 and 2 stuff, but at bargain bin prices. I'm so desperate for Joes I ended up buying a full set of the small vehicles and managed to get most of the figures. I'd much rather be buying PoC but it's nowhere to be found.

wow so its looking like Joe has gone home to its American roots and the rest of us fans are left with the left overs of the movie stuff. with the exception of some of the Asian countries. :( can't we get like a petition to get joes out into the world again or would that not be plausible ?
