Okay, let’s see how many posts I can toss up here with no real content or information… :shifty:
I think I’ve finally got the new theme all ironed out. I did some database optimizing and some speed tweaks, so performance should be considerably better. Please let me know if it’s not. I also added a new Image Randomizer script up above, so the banner images will be randomly displayed when you hit the site. A silly little thing (and I’ve only got 2 banners right now, so you may not see much variety) but something I’ve wanted to mess around with a bit.
I may still hork around with the font colors a bit, I’m not sure yet about the different shades of gray, but I think more or less we’re good to go.

Okay, I think I’ve got most of the tweaking done for the day. I may swap colors around a bit if people don’t like some things, but as of right now, I think we’re stable. Tiger’s gone, too. :shifty:
Thanks for your patience!

As you may have noticed if you’ve stopped by the site today, things are looking a bit funky…and there’s a tiger up there.
I’m messing with the themes a little bit, so you may see some sporadic wonkyness today. I love the layout, but there are some glitches with image alignment and the fluid-width stuff that’s not blowing my skirt up, so I’m messing with things a bit.
Thanks for your patience, I’ll have this either revamped or back to normal by tomorrow.

The guys from JoeCanuck have posted their latest newsletter on the site, full of the same great articles you’ve come to expect. From the sounds of things, big news is on the horizon for the Canadian JoeCon as well!
Check out the newsletter here, and make sure to check the site here for all of the archives.
Also, keep an eye on their eBay auction for Snowbank to get your hands on this hard-to-find exclusive figure.

ws_toys, the seller who has already presented us with Breaker, the Resolute B.A.T., and the Baroness comes through again with an auction for one of the Rise of COBRA preview figures, the M.A.R.S. Officer. The figure comes packaged in a boxed 3-pack set with two M.A.R.S. Troopers as well, which I covered pretty extensively in this post (thanks to cmderinchief of the Coil Club).
Thanks to Destro from HissTank as usual for the scoop!
I’m really warming up to these guys (and the Troopers). The funky layered armor over the commando sweater…those very Neo-Viper like helmets (which sort of ties them into the upcoming Neo-Viper as well, even though the Neo-Viper doesn’t have his trademark helmet). I’ve been fighting it, kicking and screaming, however slowly but surely I’m being pulled into this movie universe and the figures that go along with it. Some of these look very interesting, even if they are remarkably dissimilar to the familiar Joes and COBRA’s that we’ve seen over the past twenty-six years. I really like the armor on his arms, I love the webgear and helmet, and all of his weapons are terrific. A very nice figure here, and I’m looking forward to getting the preview 3-pack in May.
