Big thanks to fellow What’s on Joe Mind cohost Chuck for letting me know that ToysRUs.com has some of the new Kre-O sets listed for sale online!
No images are posted as of yet, but they’ve listed the Outpost Defender and “Firebat Attack” sets for sale. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend grabbing any blind bags, just because I have no idea what assortment they’re from. Plus, there’s free shipping for all orders over $49, so after you get these two sets, if you spend another 6 bucks, you get free shipping. Check out the links below:

It’s been a bit of a break since we posted our last episode, and it seems like the world of G.I. Joe has turned inside out and backwards since then. Excitement about Toy Fair blitzed the online community, only to be defused by the rumor that Hasbro will not be in attendance at JoeCon, and an underlying uncertainty about the future of our favorite brand. We also had a chat with none other than BJ Ward, the voice of Scarlett from the Sunbow animated series!
Well, to celebrate the sure fire collapse of all toy related patriotism, Gary took a strike from the show and is absent from Episode 90. Actually, Chuck is, too, but we figured that was more due to laziness.
However, Mike and Justin called in the reserves as Dave from Toy World Order and the immortal Erik Arana from Boss Fight Studio joined us on the program! Check out the latest episode on Podbean or embedded below, and hit up the Show Notes after the jump.

Just because he’s awesome, GeneralsJoes Twitter buddy Twitziller has sent along a great “Identification Card” for the third series of G.I. Joe Kre-O mini figures.
Love this, and big thanks to him for putting it together. Click on it to enlarge.
EDIT – Twitter Homie Dan Uthman located Atomic Man, so now we’ve got the last blind bag code!

EDIT – Twitter friend Dan Uthman has found Atomic Man, so now we are fully stocked on blind bag codes! Check ’em out below.
Most of them, anyway… and yes, since we have blind bag codes, that also means that Wave 3 has been found at retail!
WestKoastKobra at HissTank.com reports that his local Toys “R” Us has stocked the third wave of mini figures (minus Atomic Man, unfortunately), and he scooped them all up, and has graciously laid down the blind bag codes for us!
33501 53 Andrew “Footloose” Meyers
33501 54 Lady Jaye
33501 44 Nunchuk
33501 52 Flight Jet Trooper
33501 03 Polar Assault Eel
33501 05 Tom “Torch” Winken
33501 66 Scrap Iron
33501 51 Carl “Doc” Greer
33501 43 Night Creeper
33501 04 Crimson Guard Tomax
33501 86 Low Light
33501 50 Atomic Man
The numbers in bold are the unique numbers to look for on the blind bags. This information will also be put in my Kre-O SuperPage as well. Interesting to note that the “Snow Serpent” is now the “Polar Assault Eel”. Makes sense, because the classic file cards mentioned that Snow Serpents were arctic trained Eels, but I can only imagine it was a trademark thing.
He also snagged the Outpost Defender set.
I will fully admit I didn’t realize just how badly I was feeding for some new Kre-O’s until I saw this thread. NOW I WANT ‘EM!
Big thanks to Todd from Magnum 6 Delta for the information! Check out some of the images from WestKoastKobra below.

I’ve seen some questions about identifying the Kre-O releases, so I’ve updated the Kre-O SuperPage to include all of the latest images and assortment information to reflect the new additions.
Hit up the G.I. Joe Kre-O Super Page and scroll down to Wave 3, where you’ll see the two new waves announced yesterday as well as the boxed sets.
At some point I’ll probably do up a 50th Anniversary one as well, but it doesn’t feel like there’s quite enough details released to warrant that as of yet.

Among many others in New York City for Toy Fair was video toy reviewer Pixel Dan, and he broke out the video camera for his trip through the Hasbro Preview.
Included in this coverage was great video of the Kre-O station where he spoke with representatives about the Transformers and G.I. Joe Kre-O lines. Check out YouTube or the embedded video below.
