MSGulfCoast G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club admin tkprime has come through with some very nice scans of the various stickers and diorama pieces that come with the new Pit playset. Apparently some folks have expressed concern over missing sticker sheets and missing dio parts, so these scans are now available for folks who need them. A big thanks to tkprime for going through the trouble, you can see the pictures mirrored below.

Todd, photography wizard, and the admin of Magnum6Delta has posted a great thread on JoeSightings.com with some very nice clear images of the Assault on COBRA Island 7-Pack. He has also graciously allowed me to host the images below!
Fantastic looking figures.

And, as usual, expect as much coverage as I can humanly provide right here. Unfortunately this gig doesn’t pay me enough (or anything… :shifty: ) to fly cross country to get SDCC coverage live from the source, but GeneralsJoes has parterned with JoeBattleLines and The Terror Drome to make every possible effort to provide Joe fans with the latest and greatest news from everywhere on the ‘net even remotely connected to SDCC.
Keep in mind the Hasbro Roundtable is Thursday at noon, so information about our favorite toyline should be hitting early and hitting heavy. Don’t be shocked if there isn’t a whole lotta new information coming from the West Coast, since we’ve seen so damn much stuff from overseas already, but if nothing else, the official line of communication will provide a lot more detail and some better images.
If there’s anyone else out there heading to San Diego who wants to provide the world with an outlet for their images, words, and general feelings, please hit the Contact link above and drop me a line! I plan on having an onslaught of coverage over the rest of the week…provided my second daughter’s impending birth behaves itself…
I’ll start off the week of coverage by directing folks to HissTank.com who already have some early pictures of signage and banners as vendors and manufacturers get ready to show off their wares. Check out the images mirrored below.

With thanks to Carlos, two more reviews have been posted on the Rise of COBRA Review Page:
Check them out, and as always, let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Well, we have got the chance to digest what Hasbro gave back to us on Friday. Pretty much every site had one killer question. I’ve picked those question and others that caught my eye for a little review and comment:
Participants to Receive Classified Information from Paramount, Hasbro and EA Design and Marketing Teams
G.I. JOE fans attending San Diego Comic-Con will get a chance to gain clearance to a covert “briefing” this week as Paramount, Hasbro and EA teams working on the movie, toy, and video game line present a special G.I.

JOE legacy and give fans a sneak peak at what’s ahead for everyone’s favorite American hero, including the upcoming release of the G.I.
