Cobra Stickers “Summer of Skystriker” giveaway

With no Retaliation product coming until 2013 most likely and things looking dismal for a lot of GI Joe product this year, cobrastickers.com has a great way to turn that frown upside down. When you place an order with them you are entered to win one of three custom Sky Strikers from them. Skywarp, Thundercracker and Starscream will be the ones up for grab. Taken from their home page: “From now until July 31st, every order that includes a product from our Factions Section will be entered to receive one of these beautiful planes. We’ll be kicking things off with the lovely Starscream Skystriker.” So, since product will be far and few between most likely now would be a great time to work on some of those projects you may have had on the back burner.  Looking to restore an ...

Road Blocked?

Joe Con 2012 is in full swing and the news,  photo’s and coverage has been coming in at a furious pace.  As we have been discussing the updates from our friends at OG13.com as well as other Joe sites like GeneralsJoes.com,  it was announced today that two figures were pulled out of the display case shortly after they were displayed.  One of our Forum Founder’s Birddog surprised us today with a rare photo of a possible upcoming Roadblock which was one of the two figures that was yanked out of the Hasbro case.  Here is a quote from Birddog: Here’s a picture of the Roadblock I took. Not the best but you can see what he looks like.  Tattoo and all. Good looking figure.  Wish I had been prepared to take more pictures. I just happened to be in the right place at ... Read More »

G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Game Review

  I was a child of the 80’s and like most kids I fell in love with G.I. Joe.  As the years went on and I got into video games,  I’ve always dreamed of a good G.I. Joe video game.  I’ve played the few games that have come out and haven’t been impressed.  When the Rise of Cobra movie was announced I was excited for the release of the video game.  It’s frustrating that most movie based video games have a reputation of being low budget,  rushed and frankly just not very good.  This game is no exception. After reading some previews and early reviews on Rise of Cobra I had made the decision that I wouldn’t purchase this game right away.  It didn’t matter how much of Joe fan that I was,  I wasn’t spending $50 for a disappointing ...
