Wal-Mart.com has posted the upcoming exclusive 2-packs up for sale on their online store, however they sold out very quickly. Sometimes they have a tendancy to relist, though, so check out the links below to see if any of them are still available!
Paul Ernst from Fighting-118th.com has found the Toys “R” Us Exclusive Senior Ranking Officer figures at a local Toys “R” Us, and reports about it on his site here. They retail for $14.99, and look to have some pretty nice repaints in the packs.
A short while ago, I posted a link from Amazon.uk which indicated that the DVD/Blu-Ray release for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA might just be December 7, 2009. Well, thanks to The Terror Drome for pointing out that potential new proof has emerged in the form of German DVD site, Area DVD. Not only that, but we get a look at what might be some cover art for the release as well. Check that out below.
Anyone who has visited my site for a while knows that while I don’t have much time to monkey with it, I’m a big fan of the G.I. Joe Trading Card Game. It came out a few years ago, and didn’t last long, but collecting the cards was a blast, and I’ve loved tracking down the hard to find stuff as well.
But perhaps the best thing to come out of the G.I. Joe TCG was that it spawned G.I. Joe: Firefight and Call to Valor, a fan-based creation that has taken the foundation of the Trading Card Game and ramped it up to the max. With custom fan art, new rules, new twists, and awesome intertwining themes, they’ve created full card expansions that are absolutely amazing!
And they’re not asleep at the wheel with the Rise of COBRA, either. To celebrate the film, G.I. Joe: Firefight has produced a special custom 12-card set featuring Rise of COBRA characters and themes. While the art is pulled from different promotional sources, and isn’t fan based this time around, the production values are still outstanding, and the cards are just great. Awesome work on their part.
Click here to check out this terrific expansion set, and once you’re there, keep digging, because there are some serious kick ass expansion sets for fans of all eras of G.I. Joe. You won’t regret checking it out.

Toys “R” Us is coming out with a flood of store exclusives over the next year, including a pair of Senior Ranking Officer 3-packs, one from the COBRA side, one from G.I. Joe. The COBRA side features a very cool Destro repaint that is actually a nice version of how he appears in the console video game. There’s a great Elite-Viper and Neo-Viper as well (though the Neo-Viper is labelled as a Viper Commando for some weird reason).
Anyway, check out the nice post at the COBRA Collection Blog, and I’ve also mirrored a TON of images below. I’m really liking this set!
