YoJoe.com and JoeReloaded.com have teamed up for a contest guessing the opening Box Office returns for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA motion picture. Winners will receive the four-issue Rise of COBRA adaptation with the SDCC Exclusive covers!
Check out all of the details here and have fun with it. Sounds like a very cool idea.
This one’s pretty late in the game, but the third installment of my review for the Shout! Factory Complete Series boxed set has been posted here! Part four will be bright and early tomorrow morning.
I know other sites have some pictures up already, and I’m combing through them and picking out the good stuff, but I’m also expecting some images from JoeBattleLines and The Terror Drome potentially tonight as well. But at this point, this is what we know about what was shown at SDCC (or what was peeked at behind enemy lines… :shifty: )
Wal-Mart Exclusive Battle Stations

First impressions – I loved these battle stations as a kid, and they still look pretty cool, and I love that they’re coming with two figures. Resolute Roadblock is GREAT, even if he looks different. Love the QuaidHawk. Please don’t tell me that funky green and silver Tripwire with tiger stripes is supposed to be Hit & Run… :/
Toys “R” Us Exclusive Troop Builder Packs
no images were found
Tough to make out a whole lot here, but I’m loving that Joe set. Repeater and Footloose are both winners (yeah, I know, Footloose needs to be in green camouflage, but these paint apps look GREAT, even if they’re not vintage accurate). Female Dial Tone is awesome to see, too, for those of us willing and able to move on from 1986.
Hopefully more to come!

Hi – Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about more
new preorders and a big shipment of new Transformer Movie releases.
We’ve known about the exclusive RHINO w/ Rampage for a long time, and many folks have made the connection between the driver and the old school Heavy Metal, but very few really clear images have come out of the RHINO driver to compare. Well, that’s all changed.
Werecat, an administrator over on JoeSightings has posted some excellent images of the recently released Rampage figure. It is astounding how Hasbro can mix and match fairly common parts and come with with such an amazing looking new character. This figure looks terrific, and looks quite close to the vintage counterpart. I’m still not going to pay $55.00 for the RHINO, but now I can at least salivate over Werecat’s pictures for a little while. Check out the images mirrored below.
