Off Topic / Curling for Heart and Stroke
« on: November 05, 2010, 10:17:23 AM »
Hi all,

Heart disease and stroke are the #1 killers of Canadians. There are a lot of fundraisers that benefit Cancer research, AIDS research, and other ailments as well. While these are all very good causes, the number that die from heart related conditions dwarf most of the other diseases

As such, I participate in an annual fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke foundation. Once a year, a group of us get out and spend a day curling with other teams that are there for the same purpose. It's a great event for awareness and fund-raising for an often overlooked cause.

With that said, if you would like to donate, please do so via this link:

http://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/don ... ED1A794CAC

You will be issued a tax receipt in PDF form once you've donated (I believe the threshold is $20 for a receipt) Whatever you can afford is great, or if you can't donate, your support is still appreciated for awareness of the cause!

Thanks for reading, and your support.

Joe Renegades,” Friday, November 26. The Hub is a joint venture of Discovery Communications and Hasbro, Inc., and is available to 60 million U.S. cable and satellite households.

The new animated series, a re-imagining of the popular, original series “G.I. Joe A Real American Hero,” takes viewers back to the origins of the G.I. Joe storyline, in which the world’s most elite renegade force of highly trained specialists are forced to band together to prevent their nemesis, the evil forces of Cobra Industries, from achieving global domination.

“G.I. Joe Renegades” is produced for The Hub by Hasbro Studios. The series is executive produced by Jeff Kline, whose television credits include “Transformers: Prime” and “Jackie Chan Adventures.”

Joe Renegades.” The series will continue in its regular time period, Friday, December 3, with an encore presentation at 5 p.m. ET and a new episode premiere at 5:30 p.m. ET.

Starring in the series premiere are Lee Majors (“The Six Million Dollar Man”) as “General Abernathy,” and Charlie Adler, the original Cobra Commander from the animated series “G.I. Joe: Resolute,” who reprises his role in the new series. “G.I. Joe Renegades” also includes an all-star lineup of story editors, including Marty Isenberg (“Ben 10,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Batman the Animated Series”) and Henry Gilroy (“Star Wars: Clone Wars,” “The Tick” and “Batman the Animated Series.”)

A full schedule of the “G.I. Joe Renegades” and related programming follows. (All times ET).

“Hub Exclusive: ‘G.I. Joe Renegades” (Premiere: Friday, November 26, 3:30 p.m. – 4 p.m.. Encore presentations: Monday, November 29, 6 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.; Friday, December 3; 4:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.; and Saturday, December 4, 12 p.m. – 12:30 p.m.)

Message Board News / HASBRO Answers our latest Q&As!
« on: October 22, 2010, 04:52:31 PM »
Joecanuck Asked:

1) Why does POC Beach Head only come with one knife but have sheaths for two?


Hasbro Answered:

This was a mistake. The figure was originally supposed to come with two knives but the mistake was caught too late to fix.  


Joecanuck Asked:

2) Is it true that Hasbro is including parts that pay homage to Predator and if pieced together will be a strong resemblance to one and if so, what is the recipe to create this?


Hasbro Answered:

 A great chef never gives away his recipes!  Kidding aside, there was no plan to pay homage to this cult classic.


Joecanuck Asked:


3) Are some of the toys in POC ( namely some vehicles) designs that were brought forward from the aborted/abandoned Robot Rebellion sub-line?




  Hasbro Answered:

 The only design that made it into Pursuit of Cobra from Robot Rebellion were the G.I. Joe and Cobra Mech Suits.

The \'Show\' Room / The Latest Addition to My Collection
« on: September 25, 2010, 05:18:20 PM »
Over the years, I've found my interest in the hobby has gone from collecting everything (I used to be a completist) to collecting only what interests me. At first, it was just the coolest (in my opinion) items from any given wave.

While that still applies in some cases (like the sweet PoC Alley Viper), for the most part my interest has turned to "what could have been". Prototypes, canceled items, etc.

So with that in mind, I received my latest addition this week and thought I'd snap a few pics for folks here.

Without further adeu, I proudly present - Canceled Mail Away Rise of Cobra Cobra Commander with attack Drone!
