As SanDiego ComicCon grows closer more and more secrets continue to be uncovered prior to the “official” reveal… this time credit The Terror Drome for uncovering some pictures of the upcoming Toys “R” Us Exclusive “Attack on the Pit”, Target Exclusive “Rescue Mission”, and the Target Exclusive “Past and Present” boxed set, which is a new one to us.
Attack on the Pit is a very nice looking set featuring Duke, Ripcord, Pit Commando, a Neo-Viper repaint and a Neo-Viper Officer, who looks awesome in the MARS Officer webgear!

We’d already knew about the Rescue Mission 4-Pack, but we get some additional pictures here of the set, which includes Snake Eyes, Duke, and two Neo-Viper repaints.

Lastly, a previous rumored set, but with no details, we get some pictures and details of the “Past and Present” set which apparently is a two pack of Snow Jobs with two Rockslides, one new one, and one what looks to be the Polar Battle Bear from the vintage days.

I gotta say, seeing all of these Neo-Vipers scattered in all of these various sets, the figure is really growing on me…and it appears even if you just buy a few exclusives this year you’ll get yourself a nice little squad! Thanks again to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the info.

M6D, a moderator at JoeSightings and admin of Magnum6Delta.com has posted a series of very nice pictures of the recently released Rise of COBRA Ice Dagger and Rockslide vehicles. These things look a lot cooler than they did even a week ago. Check out the original thread here, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.

With big thanks to antarctica from the GeneralsJoes comments, I was remiss and have made several mentions about various G.I. Joe books in past articles without even thinking to check out what YoJoe has to say on the subject. Well, as usual, YoJoe has a LOT to say.
Josh Eggebeen has put his blood, sweat, and tears into the book archive at YoJoe, and currently has information on pretty much every one of the Rise of COBRA books out there, from the novelizations to the kid’s books and everything in between. I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned it yet, so I’m doing it now. Hit up the YoJoe Book Archive to check out all the books and get a lot of information about them as well.

JoeBattleLines member warmachinex has somehow stumbled upon a trio of new images from G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, and I’m loving them! Scarlett is shown in some form in each one, but it’s the second picture with the group shot that looks very cool. The Reactive Armor is really growing on me, and the production values just look a hell of a lot more big budget in these shots than we’ve seen before. Click here to visit the original thread, I have (of course) mirrored the images here as well.
Absolutely awesome images. Hopefully some more start coming down the pipeline as we get closer to August.

HissTank forum member SnakeEyes2184 picked up a copy of the G.I. Joe Confidential Files based on the upcoming Rise of COBRA motion picture, and has a lot of details to share about the book.
You can check the run down right here, but there are some spoilers. From what I’ve read in that thread, this accentuates the novel nicely and adds some cool detail to stuff we didn’t know. Snake Eyes is no longer French, Scarlett’s background is remarkably similar to her traditional background, etc…
Check it out here, and if you’re so inclined, Amazon.com has it listed at $10.18 as well.
