I too feel the same way about this as a collector in Ireland it sucks not being able to walk into a store and pick up joes. I used to do this as a kid all the time but I'm guessing becasue of the over priced hikes they put in for the ROC line it killed any chances of getting extra waves. heck even the store neat me only had Wave 1 Figures for months and very rarely saw wave 2 or 3 . the mobile pit was there first week of film launch then gone. same with the alpha vehicles tons of crusher and ise dagger not much of any other vehicle.

plus the price points was terrible .€9.99 per figure thats was like $16 a joe
and around the corner from the joes corps figures €5.99 for 3 figures and a small vehicle.
I mean honestly wich would you of gone for if you were a parent ??

I remember sending a similar email to hasbro once I learned of POC arrival. and getting the same response.

what I'd love to do is ask Hasbro what you need to purchase a crate of Joe figures and vehicles then ask fellow European joedio's to go shares in it and buy it that was then sell left over's and maybe get a lil on the side for a furture purchase. tho . I dunno how the waves are packed so that could lead to trouble.

I must say cudo's to the Fellow Joedio's troopers here for helping us Eurojoe's to get the newer POC figures and waves . tho one thing I must gripe about is since the release of those Canceled wave 3 Ross finds I find it distasfull that us Euro fans have to pay ludacous ebay prices for an item that was 5.99 at retail and then up to $24 for shipping costs. I get the shipping is expensive hence why i'd preffer to get all the ones I want from the same person instead of having to pay out 24.99 per seller for shipping that gets costly !!!
