Nice review, Olyeller!  About that new wrist joint, is this the first figure they've used it on?  I think there's now one on the new POC Jungle Viper.  I don't think this version needed the "smack-talk pointing" hand, though.

Nice review again, Olyeller!  I couldn't make the FanExpo in Toronto on the 27th, where they were apparently selling both versions.  I hope they do that again, getting any SDCC exclusives in Canada is awesome! 
Did you notice on the back of the card on the left is a 1984 "For G.I. Joe Team Members Only" insert?  Weird!
Here's the the rest of it: http://www.yojoe.com/archive/inserts/members.shtml

Excellent review as always Olyeller!  The leg camo is an interesting choice (probably mossy tree trunk camo?) but the paint app doesn't pull it off well.

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Re: 2010 CanJoeCon DVD?

I'd definitely like a DVD, if for nothing else, to round out the video I took.  Since I was behind the camera I'd at least like to see the full uncensored news coverage, to see if they caught me.  I didn't cover the Q&A's because normally (as normal as anime cons go) they don't let you do that.  Also, I overheard the guy who looks like Brendan Frasier (Scramble?) say they would be recording it anyway.
Are you planning to put in any Easter Eggs?

1) a lot seem to play the "product may vary from picture" card, as per the packaging disclaimer.
I'm glad I don't work in retail anymore.  If someone gave this back to me with that excuse, I'd be like:
Oh, is that why Reed Richards is wearing fishnet stockings?

I'm afraid I didn't get much (but I wasn't looking for a lot either)...
-2010 con set
-a complete straight-arm Grunt to finish my '82 Sears 3-pack
-a ton of vintage paperwork including the Canadian version of the mail-in insert that had the tan VAMP mkII
-a 1983 HISS with the solid red 788 stickers
-Zack Hoffman's signature on my 8x10 cartoon scene screen capture
-Snakor's Pizza #1 (hilarious!)
-lots of great photos and video to make my first convention video

I think Mike's suggestion is right: fewer items in the con set with a larger run.  It's simple, stress-free and even if there are leftovers (which I doubt will happen), the organizers of the con themselves can sell them here (as an online exclusive).

213
I too would like to thank Mike, his wife and all the staff members that made my first Joe con so enjoyable!  I've been to plenty anime cons (with the creepy/showboating people in costume, crowds that don't no where to go and events that aren't timed right) and this was nothing like that.  While I don't wish to stress Mike, I really hope he takes care of the 2011 con!
I took pictures and video and will be editing/uploading it to Youtube by Saturday (I hope).  Mike seemed reluctant to have his picture taken, so I won't be adding it without his permission...  maybe I'll have it printed and give it to him next year, personally:wink:

General Joe Talk / 1984 Battle Station Assortment from SEARS
« on: August 07, 2010, 05:38:56 PM »
I just got back from the 'Con and started reading Tattoo Shane's awesome article on Canadian Joes in the Declassified mag, when I noticed he lists this set as "Unidentified retailer".  I've been trying to get this set for over a decade and the closeset I've come is the Sears Fall Sale catalogue.  It shows the Battle Station Assortment (item #6124.31/38287) with the Bridgeleayer and the second Cobra Combat Set.  I hope this helps!



215
THIS is limited to only 50?! Aw man...  there's definitely going to be more than 50 SNAKE fans at the con (myself included).  I hope this doesn't cause problems.

Awesome sauce.

With a side order of Awesome!

Washed down with a tall glass of FTW!

Now I can't wait to see the "second vehicle" in the set, if there still is one.
