Now that Gary has returned from the UK, things are getting caught up around here, and the result is yet another episode of What’s on Joe Mind! Episode 46 was initially slated to be a “listener mail” episode, and we did cover a lot of that, but we also broke some news, addressed some concerns through our online surveys and still had time to bring in an interview with Zack Hoffman (the voice of Zartan from the Sunbow animated series)!

SHOW NOTES
Well, we’re caught up now. This was SUPPOSED to be our listener email episode, but due to timing of getting the previous show out a week late, we dipped into our mailbag for some existing email that you have provided us. You listeners never fail to deliver and Chuck picked us out some questions to for us and Craig to mull over. In a very full second half of the program we cover the news of the week as Sideshow announces a new Snake Eyes figures, Renegades is coming out on DVD despite our unknowing banter in #45 and a composer is announced for Retaliation. After the news Gary and the guys go over the show survey results and bat about your dislikes and likes about the program. Before we wrapped this show up, we plug in a pre-recorded interview with Zack Hoffman, aka the Sunbow voice of Zartan that we’re sure you’ll enjoy. It’s spring time folks! So break out the lawn mower, charge up that MP3 player, plug in those earbuds and enjoy the next couple of hours of Joe-talk while you work in the yard!

Thanks for answering for picking my e-mail.
It was a bit wordy wasn’t it? Still i worry I didn’t get my point across, at least to Beachead Mike. It’s not just about Hasbro being happy about selling a case but also what is in the case. Hasbro is going to be more likely to please mass retailers with their styles etc than just the little guys. I was apparently incorrect about pre-ordering just storm shadow so my bad, that’s actually not something I am used to. I use a mixture of online and retail and I don’t whine that I occasionally miss out on a figure in doing so, if I want it bad enough I’ll make sure i get it, and even if somehow I don’t, to me it’s a hobby and a toy, not the end of the world. My main was simply I think my votes with my dollar matter more at retail and sometimes on the show it comes across like we should be buying online only. Just wanted some discussion to help provide a little balance, or clarification on the views the hosts.
oh and Gary, as for your comment that the more that join the club the better it is for G.I.Joe? we will just have to agree to disagree. It’s better for fun publications etc. but the club isn’t the brand itself, and While I can’t offer a solution for something better than the club, and I hold no ill will against them, the value to cost for me isn’t there at the moment. If it changes, I may join. I do understand that some people get aggressive in denouncing the club, and that is uncalled for, it’s a business, if you don’t like it, don’t join.
oops, when editing my post i slipped up. I was changing that first line from thanks for answering my question, to thanks for picking my e-mail. Since Really for the most part we agree, and I just wanted to see some discussion.
