Wow. Anyone complaining about a lack of Joe product earlier in the year certainly should be happy now. I no longer got reviews posted for Pursuit of Cobra Wave 1, then Wave 2 hit retail, then the Wave 2 Bravo vehicles hit online stores, and now, I’ve received confirmation from BBTS that my pre-order for the second wave of Alpha vehicles has arrived in their warehouse! In fact, they’ve listed the set of two vehicles as in stock now.
This includes the awesome looking Ice Cutter w/ Snow Serpent Officer as well as the AWE Striker with Night Fox. Really looking forward to getting these in hand. I couldn’t care less about the Striker itself, but Night Fox looks pretty awesome. And the Ice Cutter really looks like a winner all around.
Keep your eyes open!

No guarantees, but the Twitter Page for the Hub has posted the following information:
“In anticipation of 10.10.10, we’re live-tweeting our media lunch today feat. Margaret Loesch, President & CEO of The Hub. Stay tuned!”
I’ll be keeping a close eye on their Twitter feed to see if anything of consequence is talked about. 10-10 is coming up quick, let’s hope things get moving.

Wait, what? As I prepared for this review, I tried to spend some time getting some insight from various forums and sites, just trying to figure out what people thought of this vehicle and how much they were anticipating it. I was shocked with what I read.
There are apparently a lot of Joe fans out there who don’t like the looks of the new VAMP? Really? Never would have figured. I thought it looked like one of the cooler Joe vehicles to come out within the past several years. Sure, it lacks the nostalgic qualities of the Anniversary retools, but as far as brand, spanking new vehicles go, I was immediately impressed before and after opening the box.
Ah, well… different strokes for different folks. Anyway, whether you like the VAMP or not, check out my review on the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page or right here. You can probably guess what I think of it.

Well, I didn’t have a chance to get the 5-page preview posted yesterday, but I did have a few minutes to type up a review for the latest issue of the main G.I. Joe title, issue #22. To avoid spoilers, I’ve posted the full text of the review after the jump.
