Toy Fair 2009 forum opened!
The International Toy Industry Association Toy Fair is held in New York City from February 15 – 18, 2009. In order to consolidate all discussion pertaining to the various products shown, a new temporary forum has been opened.
You can start talking “new toys” HERE.
Madmac41 reviews the Target Conquest & Rattler!
While the “senior staff” has been on a sabbatical at JBL, Scott “Madmac41” McAllister has been busy snapping up the latest 25A product to hit the store shelves. His latest aquisitions are none other than the Target-exclusive Conquest X-30 and Cobra Rattler jets!
Check out Scott’s review in the 25th Anniversary Index!
What’s happened to the Daily News?
Some of you might have been asking yourself: “Where has the Daily News gone?”
Without going into too much detail, sometimes the priorities of “real life” can weigh in more than anyone realized. Since August 2, 2004 JBL has provided “Daily News” five days a week– covering all of the various Joe-related items found on the web by the staff each day. JBL has also been a site for in-depth product reviews (more than just a few sentences and a couple of pics) as well as interviews with “Joe folk” from all venues. It’s all been part of an effort to create a site that would ultimately prove to be a useful resource for fans of all scales of Joe.
