The trailer rocked. I want more.
They did a great job photoshopping it.

In Recoil`s 1989 Filecard,it says his specialty is Long Range Recon Patrol. His job is to quietly penetrate enemy territory,get the intelligences needed and leave without getting noticed. His fellow Joes don`t know he is nearby until he is right next to them.
A case in point is that there is a Marvel issue where some Joes are playing pool in the Pit. The next scene shows Recoil right next to Gung-Ho. He is so quiet doing his job that he could be the Zandar of G.I.Joe. |

I don't remember that issue of Joe. AFAIK Recoil's only appearance were during the Trucial Abysmia stuff when he was the recon squad with Ambush, Stalker, Cool Breeze and I forget who else.

Hey Loose, great job on that card. Could be a great project I'd love to get behind.

Yeah I really spent no time on his card. I just added a basic detail in the first part and the second part was just for kicks, but there are plenty of terrible cards, and many that could have been better.
I don't think those little cards could have all the detail that say Zulu has on his, but I think there must be a formula to follow. The real world details on the first part is the real meat of the card. But the last part where the "Cheese" goes is a lot harder to dream up. Obviously I was screwing around on Bench-Press, but I had nothing. It could have a little info on his habits, or maybe a mission he was on. Or something about growing up.

I know we discussed it before but did we ever decide what were the best filecards? I loved the style of the first cards with all the training. Duke is great with all the detail. but then they slowly started to slip.
By the third year (1984) they contained almost no unit info whatsoever. Most I think need to be redone. 1985 they sort of came back with more detail and we see the term Ranger School again for Flint; Lady-Jaye; Alpine; Crankcase (One of the best filecards IMO). Plus the added detail of where they attended military courses shows up. Bazooka is a good one too. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Bazooka 1986 is the year of the trainers. 6 or 7 depending on how you count the Fridge. Still I think the detail slip again. We don't see many Rangers added, but we get 3 Marines and another SEAL. 1987 was pretty good but with BF 2000 and the Renegades they just start making things up. after 1988 it's all over. There is almost no military detail anymore.

So I've often wanted to purchase a Republican Troopship/Gunship, but never wanted to drop the $50 when I saw them in stores, and ebay has them for $90 to $250. (Talk about holding their value!)
But when I gloss over I see the Scorpion Gunship from Avatar. Anyone got one? or seen a good review? Do Joes fit? Is it cheap plastic?

I read and bought a good portion of the Marvel G.I.Joe Series. Right now there are some gaps in the issues that I have. I was sure I saw Recoil somewhere between the Cobra Island Civil War and his appear in Trucial Abysmia.
