The Hunt for Cobra Commander is ON!

In conjunction with my buddies over at The Terror Drome, GeneralsJoes is jumping feet first into another contest, even before my Sideshow Collectibles contest has ended.  The information follows below!

The Terror Drome and Generals Joes have teamed up to present The Hunt for Cobra Commander giveaway. We are giving away a copy of the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra 2-Disc DVD Set (courtesy of Paramount) and a Rise of Cobra Arctic Assault Snake Eyes figure. And a runner-up will win a Rise of Cobra Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes w/BLACK Timber variant figure.

So what do you have to do? You will need to hunt down Cobra Commander!

Each day between now and Monday (skipping Saturday, October 31st (Halloween)) we will post a clue to our Twitter feeds. You don’t need to have a Twitter account, just check either the Terror Drome’s or General Joes’ Twitter feed page at 3pm EST on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday for a “riddle/question” (ALL will be G.I. Joe themed). Figure out the answer to the riddle then search one of our sites for the answer to be found in a random post on one of the sites. That answer will be linked to an image.

Example: “He once cleaned teeth for a living.” / the answer “Dr. Mindbender” — so you would then search one of the sites for “Dr. Mindbender” and hunt for the link to the image.

You will need to collect all 5 images for each one is a piece to a bigger image. Once you have all 5 pieces, the first person to email them as either a whole image or individually to hunt4cc@theterrordrome.com will win the Grand Prize. The second person will be our runner-up.

This contest is open to readers & members of The Terror Drome and Generals Joes, but all are welcome to try! And since WildWeasel, joshdahl and I are the only ones that know the answers, and the locations of the images once they are posted, everyone is welcome to play. So, good luck hunting! The first clue will be available at 3pm EST on Wednesday, October 28th.


The 2-Disc DVD is courtesy of Paramount Home Entertainment, the Rise of Cobra DVD are available on DVD or Blu-ray November 3rd. Also check out the “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra – Basic Training” iPhone game at the iTunes Store.

Toys “R” Us “Attack on the Pit” 5-Pack Reviewed!

Coming off the reviews of Waves 4 & 5, I made a little road trip a short while ago and scooped up the two latest exclusives from Target and Toys “R” Us.  I’m still working on the Target Rescue Mission review, but I’ve posted the one for the Toys “R” Us Attack on the Pit on my Rise of Cobra Review Page!  There are a TON of pictures in this review…more than you’ll see anywhere else.

Enjoy.
