After a brief hiatus in 1994, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero gained a resurgence in pop culture causing a re-release of some favorite characters in their classic molds. This revival eventually induced some experimenting with these classic characters in bold and exciting new directions. Not only did fans get to revisit some of their most cherished icons within the G.I. Joe mythos, they were introduced to new characters that are now known and loved.
This full color, 172 page compendium fully explores all six series that were produced within the second generation O-ring torso era (1997-2007) including the Built to Rule line and the Collectors Club special releases. This guide beautifully illustrates the era's 689 action Figures, 135 vehicles and play sets and 1,349 accessories including all known variations. Not only is every accessory present and accounted for, they have each been assigned a unique number and identified throughout the resource guide. The accessories are then culminated in a separate section clearly displayed and organized by category. Each action figure has been carefully examined between its initial run and further re-releases to ensure that an accurate sample is clearly and concisely presented for the collector who is identifying individual action figures or sorting through unorganized lots.

I barely bought anything from this era as there was lots of junk, but there were also some of my absolute favourites as well, specifically the comic packs. This book looks fantastic. I'm curious, whoever is doing this, have they done an equivelant from 1982-1994? I have the Mark Bellomo book, which is great, just wondering if this book has a companion.

The book will be $40 and will be available at the JOECON in Florida. It will be released in limited quantities so if you are going to the JOECON, buy it right way as you may not get a second chance. No updates if it will be at the CJC yet but there is lots of time for more updates to come.

Guide on your favorite message boards!! With that being said, the cost of the book is $40 with $5 shipping and handling. Payment can be paypalled via rahc.guide@gmail.com (http://mailto:rahc.guide@gmail.com)) so I can look into how much shipping is to your location.
I am very excited to provide this book for you and can't wait to hear your response! Please remember that not only is this guide self published in limited quantities, it is being processed and shipped by myself and might take some time. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!
Sincerely,

Those 3 guides are pure crap. Actually, the 2nd and 3rd are. Having never owned the first one, I honestly can't say if it's crap or not..... but I'll consider it guilty by association.
The last two books - wrong accessories with some figures, missing items from others. Complete garbage. I tossed mine in the trash a few months ago when I used them for a collection I bought. Had to go through the entire collection again and used yojoe.com just to make sure everything was correct - so many errors in those books. Blah!

Yeah, met the guy at joecon, friendly fella. I asked him if it would end up at borders/books a million and such. I think he said he would like to see it go that way, but right now it depends on the success of this first print run.
Did you buy the book? Is it as good as the hype?

I'd like to know as well if it's worth shelling out $40+ bucks.

Seriously? I'll have to take a look for myself..all my RAHC stuff is still MISB so I don't care for the missing accessories..pictures were ok! But I'm sure that James's book is WAY better (and the vehicules are included, yay!)

I'm with Realboss. I prefer to buy books in person, but I agree that this may be an exception as it's not likely to be available at my local Chapters.

That may not happen, so I will buy my copy online if he is not at the CJC this year.

Rest easy guys. James contacted me already - he's coming to Canada. You can contact him directly to ensure he brings enough books for everyone. ;D

This book will be a great addition to Marks two Ultimate guides.
This and Loops comic are priority on my list. I just hope work doesn't screw me over like the U.S. Joe Con. Right now I'm unsure I can attend.

Hello all! I'll make this brief as it's bed time for this tired book shipper. I have shipped US orders that were placed Monday night and before and have prices for International buyers. Canadians will pay $9 for shipping and all other countries will pay $18. Interestingly enough, there is very little difference between UK, Turkey, Japan, New Zealand etc. Admittedly, I did not ask about Mexico or anything South American so if you are from there, let me check before you ship (they might be cheaper based on them being on the same hemisphere). Keep in mind, I am no expert on international shipping. Thanks to all who have ordered and for those who have placed orders today (and those who will place orders) I will get them out as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!!!!

All I can say that there will be more than enough. No worries!
More reason to hit that booth first, so you can use it on the dealer floor!

Like I told you, I love your guide, and recommend it to anyone who has any interest in the collections covered by it.
See you at the next Joe con!
