After years of begging for new accessory packs a Hasbro press release confirms my dream has came true, but in typical "Be Careful What You Wish For" fashion, pictures indicate that the package will consist of 7 neon colored spring loaded launchers, and msrp is $10.99.

G.I.Joe 3 will be directed by Micheal Bay and in it Cobra will be an ancient civilization that have been evolved from snakes and have super natural powers and G.I.Joe will be androids made by the military to stop them. And it all takes place in space.

[Raw Dog]

In all seriousness, on the subject of the Rock, he was in a car accident late last night and won't be able to appear at Wrestlemania. He's okay, I mean he'll survive, but he is not medically cleared to wrestle.

[SteelersMobat]

Due to overwhelming fan demand all depections of Duke will look like Channing Tatum for perputuity. Also Stockard Channing will play Scarlet in GI Joe 3, and the re-animated Carrol Channing will have a yet to determined role in GI Joe 3. When asked the casting director said "I was high and doing some free style associative thinking, and I think I made some good casting choices".

[nolhero]

Hasbro is going to be releasing cases of just renegades storm shadows, no one else just stormy

[HobbyHobbs]

Sunbow's hidden 3rd season will be released for the first time on DVD & BLU-Ray shortly after Retaliation's release. Larry Hama wrote the scripts for 6 of the episodes.

[sithlordsmart]

FSS is now up and running. Only 4 more sets left to order!!!! oops too late! :)

Collector's Club announced this years official GI JOE collector's convention set "Bayou Blow-Out" will be made using 8 inch Sigma Six figures.

"We realize this may not be a popular move with many fans, which is why only 6 sets are being produced.

We have not forgotten other collectors, and have a few surprises to share with them:

Fans of the vintage 1980's ARAH 'o-ring' molds will be able to purchase a chunk of steel from the melted down production molds of the classic toy series. Each chunk includes a certificate of authenticity signed by Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner.

A real treat for modern era collectors will be special boxed versions of Retaliation movie toys. Each limited run box differs from retail releases by a special OFFICIAL GI JOE CONVENTION sticker that's easily removable. Figures will be around 19.99 each and Bravo class vehicles $40, Delta class at $100 each."

Scarlett finds Snake Eyes cheating on her with Duke.

Hasbro announced today that the Retaliation line will include a modernized version of the USS Flagg. The 7-foot long Omega-class vehicle playset will retail for $249.99 and be a limited run of 1000. It will include an all-new Keel-haul figure and an exclusive Night Force Skystriker. Plus the ship will float. And it will be a Ross exclusive.

[Smokebomb]

I found one of those Renny SS exclusive cases at my Walmart. I passed on all of them. I did get a Artic Destro though.

[Superjoe74]

G.I. Joe figures can now be readily found at any major retailer including Walmart, TRU, Kmart, Target and Meijers.

Hasbro announces MSRP for new Retaliation toys saying 'There will be no price increase from the current POC line'.

In an interview regarding his new role as Rio in the upcoming Jem and the Holograms film Dwayne 'The Rock' says 'I am better in touch with myself now having played this character and I have never had a more enjoyable role. I feel smooth, soft and sexy in glitter and gold- I love dancing and the way my ass looks in tight pants'.

GIJCC announces 'All's fine here'.

[Cobra80]

Nope, you are correct. A buddy of mine is friends with the guy who writes the Rock's interviews etc. The Rock will be in attendance tonight at Wrestlemania, but won't be wrestling. Brock Lesnar has just been resigned and will be facing John Cena in the main event.

[Crazy Legs]

Hasbro has just revealed that they re-shot Retaliation and now the movie will NOT be about Ninjas.

of course not everyone knows that it's old news..its going to be about the Eco Warriors and Cesspool "Cobra" starts rumors about global warming and makes eco friendly cars, well at least they SAY they are eco friendly. Cobra attacks the dolphin industry and secretly run Greenpeace. It's also going to be released around Oscar season so it can get nominated easily. Early buzz says this is a shoe in. Willis is due for an Oscar, this will be his year insiders say.

[rdodger]

Hasbro announced today it is discontinuing all 1/18 and 1/6 scale action figures. Instead it will debut a new line of 1/1 scale figures. These will be fully lifelike in EVERY way. Clothing is sold separately. So far advance orders for Scarlett. Lady Jaye Baroness and Cover Girl are SOLD OUT. Hasbro execs are dumbfounded by this since their market research showed that GI Joe fans do not want female action figures.

[drunknmunky]

GI Joe will release a squeal to RoC soon. It will be directed by the guy who did Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. It will feature the Rock as Roadblock. Every Joe including Roadblock will be a Ninja. The toy line will also feature less articulation, bigger launchers, no stands, generic packaging and no filecards.


Ha ha! Got you! April Fools!



















Oh how I wish it truly was just a cruel joke....

Ross reported due to the lack of interest they will stop buying Gi Joe toys from other retailers.

[The Batman]

Hasbro announced 3 minutes ago they will produce a Transformers/G I Joe crossover in which the 3.75 vehicles will transform into robots. They will produce the first one as Megatron disguised as the Cobra Maggot with that huge cannon mounted on his right arm as usual.

This is awesome news.

I just saw on HTS that they have Renegades Storm Shadow in stock for $5.99 a piece. But they used the wrong picture. It shows the POC desert battle one.
