Okay, we’re down within the final 24 hours of the Marauder “Gun Runners” Kickstarter campaign and the good news is, Marauder has MET THE KICKSTARTER GOAL! Woo hoo! As of 7:45 this morning, contributions have been met to make this project happen.
Keep in mind, Marauder has plenty of stretch goals as well, and the more money that comes in, the more stuff that will be available to everyone.
As an added thank you, Marauder has also beefed up the rewards for folks contributing at the Pirate Horde or Double Horde levels. This may provide an added incentive to bolster your contribution. The Marauder “Gun Runners” Kickstarter page is right here, and read the details of the latest update below.
Hey Folks!
Since we might not hit some of the “stretch” goals and we really want to add “more” stuff to the packages….we are ADDING a Complete Series #6 set in “Realistic” paint scheme to the Pirate Hoard level (and 2 to the Double Hoard level) as a “thank you” for those contributing to our project (at NO addtional costs to those who have participated at those levels or will participate at those levels). Also, will be glad to “swap” out the below painted Series #6 set for the “Realistic” painted new items (Picaroon level) or the “Desert Tan” painted new items (again, can make your selection in the after event “survey”).
Here are some painted samples (final designs may vary slightly from items shown):
Here are ALL the items NOW in the $100 Pirate Hoard level:
Thanks again for your support!

That’s right…buy any participating in stock G.I. Joe item, and you get a free item included! Participating items are listed below, I’d love to hear what folks are receiving:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Click here)
The FREE ‘G.I. Joe Mystery Figure’ is selected by Sideshow and is available to collectors who place a qualifying order for an IN STOCK G.I. Joe Collectible from October 16th – 31st, 2012 at 11:59PM (Pacific Time), or while supplies last. Gift Cards, Rewards, discounts (unless otherwise notated), FLEXPay, coupons and gift certificates CANNOT be used in conjunction with this promotion, even if checkout allows it, and can only be applied to new orders, and can only be used once per customer/account. The free mystery item cannot be exchanged for an alternate choice and it cannot be returned for credit or cash value. Please read below for detailed participation information!
How To Redeem:
The option to add the Mystery Gift will appear on the check-out pages of qualified In-Stock orders. Upon check-out, customers must select the ‘Yes’ box if they would like to receive the FREE ‘Mystery Gift’ or the ‘No’ box if they would like to decline the offer.
Receiving Your Promotional item:
While every effort will be made to ship both items together, it may not be possible to pack your FREE item with your purchased collectible. Your FREE ‘Mystery Gift’ may arrive after your product purchase has shipped. Additional shipping fees will apply on your FREE ‘Mystery Gift’ if it is shipped separately.
International Participation Welcome!
International collectors (including EU regions) will be responsible for VAT, duties or import fees on the shipment of the promotional item. Due to customs requirements, the promotional item will need to be assigned a value of at least US$1.[Request a Ship Quote here]. Once you select the ‘Yes’ box and submit your order, you accept responsibility for all fees incurred on the entire shipment.
Yes, we’ve been in a G.I. Joe drought over the past several months, but MTV Geek and Sideshow Collectibles are here to provide a small glass of water in the desert of G.I. Joe retail releases!
It’s a simple image, but an insanely cool one, featuring the infamous Bludd holding some of his trademark dog tags from his victims.
Check out MTV Geek for more information, and I’ve mirrored part of this fantastic image below. Of course you should also be checking out Sideshow Collectibles on a regular basis for great G.I. Joe items in stock now!
I know this has been out there on other sites already, but my travel back from Las Vegas interrupted my site focus a bit, but I’m posting the full press release below. I think most of us figured out how the Kre-O initial release was going to work based on the image names and the information gleaned from the NYCC presentation.
It looks like much of the components here are reused elements from the Battleship Kre-O line, but I think most would agree that the main draw here is with the vintage themed Kreons, I would certainly agree with that. Hate to say it, but those little guys are really growing on me.
Anyway, check out the full Press Release after the jump, and learn the names of the sets, release details (Blind bags!) and when to expect these at your local Toys “R” Us. I’ve also inserted the required images to give a better lowdown of what set comes with what items.
Along with revealing the initial release toys themselves, Hasbro’s awesome stalwart PR agency has also made the images available to websites as well, and I’ve got ’em right here for you. Broken up into apparent vehicle sets and “single pack” figure sets, I’ve posted two galleries below of official images.
The more I look at these the more I’m thinking that while the sets are pretty neat, the Kre-On mini figures are very cool. Lots of the aesthetics and the spirit of the old school Joe stuff in mini figure form. Pretty damn cool.
That being said, still looking forward to Toy Fair. 🙂
