Hey guys,
I just joined the board. Seems like a great place!
I can't wait to take some pictures to add to the picture thread.

Being a resident of Canada, I have unfortunately missed the first 4 waves:(
I have picked up the 3 5 packs form Ebay and wave 5 here in Canada on the international cards.
I've been searching Ebay but there aren't many auctions that have only the joes/cobras I'm looking for. Also sellers seem to be charging hugely inflated shipping rates.
I was hoping someone on here might be able to help me out with some of the 25th figures.
I would like;

Stalker (pending)
Flint
Firefly (pending)
Zartan (pending)
Cobra the enemy (wouldn't mind having 2 of these)

I'm not too picky about the card condition as I plan to open them.
I appreciate the help!
Thanks,
RJ

Welcome from a fellow Canadian member. The best place to post this kind of thread is in the buyselltrade forum.

It will be most likely moved there by a mod, but just a heads up for future reference. If you are in Canada I would suggest looking up a guy on Ebay under the name condorknight. He sells individual figures and cases. Since he is in Canada you can avoid customs, and if you are in the GTA he can do local pickup.

However, if you plan to open the figures, then maybe just stick with the message boards or Ebay.

Welcome Canadian brother!
There a tons of great stuff here, have fun!

For your figures, if you cannot find them, try online stores like BBTS or Smalljoes.com. They have a lot of figures in stock at this time. The Smalljoes are cheap on shipping. I ordered a few figures from them in the past and they always gave me a very good service.

Good Luck!

Hello fellow Canadian Joefans!

I have also experienced the difficulty in getting 25th figures for a decent price. The best thing to do, in my experience, is wait for a decent auction/BIN on eBay with reasonable shipping. Also check comic/specialty shops. If you're going to be opening the packages, the international carded figures (AKA "prototypes" ) should be available at retail somewhere. I haven't seen them yet...but then again, I'm not looking as I really prefer the "full art" versions.
