Nostalgia strikes on Facebook
I’ve been on Facebook for a while and I know a bunch of Joe-related friends of mine are on there, and I just got notification of something pretty cool.
“tkprime” is a Hisstank member, but also runs the MS Gulf Coast G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club. Of course, you don’t have to be in MS or on the Gulf Coast to join, that’s just its general location. Well, I have to say that he’s one of the more devoted Joe fans out there that I’ve met…he does some great things in the hobby that some times get a bit overlooked. His most recent thing is to put every single vintage G.I. Joe commercial in the video section of his Facebook account. That’s right. Every one of them. All those cool as hell live action 90’s commercials? In there. Those Hall of Fame commercials with the cartoons? In there. The first Joe cartoon ever aired? It’s all there.
A very cool thing that probably took a ton of time and effort, but it’s there for anyone to enjoy, should they want to. Of course you can also check out the aforementioned forums as well to see what they’re up to over there.
GIJoeCon.com updated with box art and group shot! Attendee exclusive RHINO Copter?
The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has updated their Convention website, GIJoeCon.com with the box art for the upcoming Crimson Strike Team Convention set as well as a group shot. Click here to check out the update.
Most important item to note is that a crimson repaint of the RHINO helicopter is featured heavily on the box art which might indicate that it serves as the attendee exclusive this year.
Thanks to cmdrinchief of the Coil Club and JoeBattleLines for the information.
Very nice images and reviews for upcoming Wal-Mart 2 Packs
Courtesy of Broken Arrow and JediDefender.com, Alyosha has posted some nice reviews over on HissTank for the upcoming Wal-Mart exclusive 2-Packs featuring Gung Ho vs. Copperhead, Tunnel Rat vs. Monkeywrench, and Shockblast vs. Night Creeper. These are some awesome looking items, and should set aside the fears of many about classic themed stuff appearing in the Rise of COBRA line. Check out the images below.

Mike’s World: Just Make Room On The Porch
A strange thing happened to me last week: I bought some Joes.
Now, I’m not having a crisis and I’m not selling my collection (sorry, Sam). Those who read my (few) contributions to GeneralsJoes know that money’s been tight, so my collecting habits have been toned down so far in 2009. What spurred me out of my collector’s hibernation, though, was the presence of little red stickers where there normally aren’t little red stickers in my favorite part of the toy aisle…
Flashback Review Update – COBRA 5-Pack #3
Once again, BigBadToyStore comes through with sponsoring another “Flashback Review” this time around, for the second COBRA 5-Pack with COBRA Commander, Storm Shadow, the Baroness, Zartan, and COBRA Viper.
Is it as good as the Joe one? Is it worth buying at all? Check out the review right here! Also, stay tuned as the Rise of COBRA street date looms…BBTS will be sponsoring all my new reviews as well, so expect an onslaught once those hit retail!
