Here in the corner of South America (Colombia) it is very difficult to buy the latest figures since I only know 2 hobby stores that carry Joes and other toys very poorly. And department stores only carry Star War and Marvel and again very limited and expensive ($25 per figure). RoC was carried and disapeared.

My figures and vehicles (G.I. Joe mostly) comes mostly from Ebay and in the last year from trades with Dan, Claudio and Luis, and some nice 25th figs that Russ sent me.

Making things short, buying Joes in Colombia sucks.

and i picked it up today,the packing was good despite what i read on hisstank im not a moc collector but checked it anyway.

the package has now traveled over 7000 kilometers probably more.

It's pretty much the same in the south east of Mexico, 25th figures came almost 2 year later and just like 10-15 different figures, I guess it was just thanks to the upcoming movie. Then ROC arrived, but there were 2 waves missing. I went to a Sears not so long and they still had neovipers and destro's.

Before holidays I saw a dude with a hasbro shirt on a store, unpacking figures, I asked him about POC figures and he said that hasbro didn't showed anything new from g¡ joe.

Fortunatly, I met a guy on a Convention that has a store figure store ("MECHANICTOYS") on the center of the country (en el DF para los que son de México), he told me that he could make some imports and make deliveries.
For those mexican collectors here's the e-mail mechanictoys@hotmail.com
