It’s the golden episode of the web’s longest running G.I. Joe podcast, What’s on Joe Mind! Join us as we celebrate the occasion with former G.I. Joe comic writer Brandon Jerwa, with Marvel Comics Director of Communications Arune Singh, and featuring some very surprising (and most welcome) call-in congratulations!
The first 30 seconds of the show is about the most geeked-out moment I have ever experienced in the history of G.I. Joe collecting. It’s a “can’t miss” experience!
For G.I. Joe fans, you’re going to want to hear about Brandon Jerwa’s new project “Shooters” that he is working on with Eric Trautman and artist Steve Lieber. It’s a tight, emotional, military-themed graphic novel that I haven’t been able to put down! Hear all about it on the show.

Now, it’s all focused on a single retail outlet, Meijer’s, and all sightings seem to be in the Indiana and Kentucky areas, but we’ve got some more evidence of figures being found in the wild.
First and foremost, long time friend of GeneralsJoes and one of the admins of JoeBattleLines, Scott “MadMac” found a Wave 1 Roadblock and was kind enough to take some pictures. He also took some initiative and swapped out Roadblock’s hands with the 7-Pack Red Dog. The results are quite nice! Check out the images below.

Also, fellow co-host of the What’s on Joe Mind podcast Gary discovered them at his local Meijer’s as well…so guess we’ll have some good stuff to talk about next week! Check out the image for proof below.
Those of you with local Meijer’s stores, gas up those cars and get driving! I’ll just sit back with my bears and wait for those pesky e-tailers.

Thanks to GeneralsJoes Twitter buddy Twitziller who reports that a strange version of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Cobra Commander has emerged on eBay. This particular figure is in various shades of black instead of blue, but otherwise appears to be the same figure as the single packed version.
This could lead to some hypothesis that there are other G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures that we have yet to see…perhaps this is part of some store exclusive set or later release this year? Check out the eBay auction here, and the mirrored image is below.

According to HissTank.com poster seanbratton they have!
The poster reports in this thread that a local Meijer store in Fort Wayne, Indiana has G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures in stock! He has even posted images of the figures as evidence, which are mirrored below.
Let the hunt BEGIN!!

Showcasing a figure which promises to be an early favorite among the fans, the GIJoe Club website has posted an image of the carded G.I. Joe Trooper from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline. This is a fantastic looking figure and once again forces me to rethink my “G.I. Joe shouldn’t have generic troops” mindset. Between this and the Steel Brigade, I’m amassing (or will soon amass) a large number of the faceless and the nameless.
Check out the full image at GIJoeClub.com.
Don’t forget you can see even more detail on this great looking figure over at CardedHeroes.com.

IDW superstar Robert Atkins comes back to the show to talk about his time at Roll Out Roll Call 3, and we have a terrific conversation about the recent crackdown on 3rd Party vendors and artist’s alley at Botcon. Great to talk to someone directly impacted by those events!
We also cover the latest news and intel going on in the G.I. Joe world, and Beachhead Mike actually makes it through the entire episode without ralphing. It’s an Easter miracle! Listen to the episode at our Podbean page, or hit up the embedded player below. Show notes are after the jump.
