I just stumbled upon this:

Relive your favorite memories of the classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon with the G.I. Joe Field Manual Volume 1, an amazing archive of beautiful animation models. From Roadblock to Zartan, the Skystriker to the H.I.S.S. Tank, the Weather Dominator to the U.S.S. Flagg - all of your favorite characters, vehicles, and world-conquering devices are present in this amazing volume. Thrill to never-before-published production artwork and behind-the-scenes designs that made the classic 80's Joe cartoon so memorable. With over a thousand images from the first sixty five episodes of G.I.

This is the book Sorenson announced on his blog a few months back. Glad it's up for preorder now.

Need to see preview pictures first. The Transformers book 1 and 2 (allspark) was a bit of disappoinment.

What about them was disappointing?

Everyone of us'd write a book like this...

All art was allready available and published in other books which was used in these books (TF books). So for me it was more a reprint then something original.

This will look nice on the shelf with my other Joe books.

That'll look nice on the shelf next to the TF volumes. Hope I have spare money come the release date.

This will be a good addition to my library.

Still need to pick up the 2nd Edition Ultimate guide, but I think that's the only one I'm missing at this point...

For those interested. Amazon.com has the book on pre-order now for $10.52 about 1/2 price than the $19.99.

Pre-order away ! :)
