That’s right folks, I reviewed something again! If you can stomach some more bad jokes and Techno Vipers doing wacky things, then come on in and read up on the K-Mart 4 Pack!
Message Boards are back UP!
The title says it all. Get into the forums and make up for lost time and Thanks Fred!
Forum Problem!
Okay for those of you trying to post in the forums there appears to be a problem. I have made the Boss aware of this so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon………unless he makes it worse!
Video review of Jazwares A-Team movie figures!
My good friend TheMatrix8475 (and long-time toy run cohort) beat me to the punch with a video review of one of my most-anticipated toy lines of 2010: Jazwares A-Team movie figures! Featuring (now) Agent Lynch, Hannibal, Face, BA, and “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock plus one awesome GMC van, this toy line combines affordability, playability, and selection. Of course, don’t take my word for it– check out TheMatrix’s great review below. (Plus, sit through the credits! It’s not Samuel L. Jackson, but it’s close!)
The A-Team movie hits theatres on Friday and the toys can be found in stores at Target and Toys R Us. The complete 80’s series was recently released on DVD and is available at Amazon.com.

Alexx Shorts Continue!
But….why? Oh! Alexx has some stuff he hasn’t reviewed yet. Nothing new, yet, but some have suggested that I get my butt back in gear and finish off the figures I bought but never reviewed, so come on in and take a look at the Nano-Viper!
Scarlett’s Saturday Special
Ok, Ok, OK!!!!!!!!!!
Its been a while, and we’ve had a TON of new custom work grace the ‘Custom Central Command’ section.
But in light of the recent passing of a fellow fan (and friend of mine), I chose to highlight JBL member ‘swampmojo’s take on Major Bludd.
His take on our favorite Major is very cool….it reminds me of the grittiness that Sebastian Bludd has always portrayed.
Enjoy!!
Hasbro’s HUB schedule posted!
The Hub, the joint venture between Hasbro and Discover Channel, left me a bit perplexed when it was announced. After all, the only programs I could think of were “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero” and the original “Transformers”– what was going to occupy the rest of the broadcast day? Well, according to TFormers.com, the Hub will be occupying quite a bit of my minimal viewing time with ARAH reruns, Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Beast Wars, and one of my all-time favorite sci-fi series Farscape! Better yet, three of those shows will form a solid block starting at 11pm EST every weeknight! Add in the forthcoming G.I. Joe: Renegades series and I just might be in TV heaven!

THUNDERCATS, HO!!!
In memory: Craig “Outrider” Anderson…
Craig “Outrider” Anderson was an Australian G.I. Joe fan who loved photography, Major Bludd, and o-ring Joe figures. An active member of both JoeDios.com and Flikr, Craig continually amazed and impressed fans with his eye for the dramatic when it came to snapping pics of our favorite “Real American Heroes”. He passed away Sunday, May 23, 2010. His legacy in the fandom, however, will not be forgotten by the body of high-quality work he left behind at JoeDios.com. I’d invite everyone to take a reverent look at the works of… a man who raised the bar of “Joe photography” for all of us.

You will be missed, Craig.
The new A-Team figures are AWESOME!
Okay, maybe it’s the rose-colored glasses of a 30-something who grew up watching the original series (and had the old Galoob figures in both scales) but I think the new A-Team figures look fantastic!! Seriously, I’ve not been this excited for a toy line in the last year! Jazwares is producing all four of “the guys” as well as the van! These bad boys will be available at both Target and TRU at the end of the month but SmallJoes.com has them up for pre-order right now.
The catch? SJ isn’t ordering a whole lot beyond their pre-orders to avoid sitting on merchandise for a long time. So, if you want them, pre-order them NOW! The set of 5 (Hannibal, BA, Face, Murdock, and Lynch) will set you back $39.99 and the van is listing for $32.99. That’s pretty reasonable compared to retail! They’re listed as available 6/1/2010.

Also, if you missed the DVD’s when they were released a few years back, Amazon.com has the complete series in a special van-shaped tin for $91.49! (All five seasons in one fell swoop!) Available 6/8/2010!
Amazon.com pre-order for the complete series
The figures are slowly trickling into Target stores now and are scheduled to be on shelves in force by the new film’s release date of June 11, 2010.
