Hey gang!
I've wanted to have a thread where I can put down some ideas and/or observations. Since I do not collect regular joe toys (kreo and building blocks only), these will mostly be about the building blocks side of it. As with all my threads/posts, your comments are always welcomed. There are many random Joe building block specific thoughts that run through my mind at any given time. I am currently working on so many projects, that it's hard to find time to devote to any one thing. Alot of my free time seems to being spent just trying to figure out my best plan of action per each build/custom. There are a couple of projects that I had started even as far back as last year, that still haven't been completed for lack of the correct parts available. Hopefully we'll see these come to fruition in the near future. Oh, and since I really HATE keeping secrets from you guys: There are two different building block versions of the Cobra WOLF coming very soon. ;) -The first one is a copy of Stormgard's WOLF II I am currently collaborating with him in order to get my copy as close to his source build as possible; before sharing the build plans with everyone. -The second is a copy of Usepez Morbo's WOLF build. I have been unable to contact Usepez about the build, but am very close to the point of having the digital file to where I like it. My irl copy will also be in an upcoming post (as time permits) Other Projects planned: ranquet's Maggot ranquet's Dreadnok Trike cappeca's Night Raven Cobra Paralyzer GI Joe HAVOC |

As with all types of collectors, display space is a premium. Because of my current space limitations, there are a number of projects that have to be on hold at this time.
Projects on Hold: - 1816's Night Raven - Skystriker - Chad's 83 HQ - USS Flagg (at concept phase only) |

Does anyone think Kreo might be reintroduced at the new HasCon environment? Kreo M.A.S.K. anyone? =D

I'm sacrificing virgins weekly in hopes to appease the gods but I doubt Hasbro wants anything to do with GI Joe anymore. M.A.S.K.... what's that? HA! There would have to be some TV or Movie instigation for anything new (old for us) to be revamped and (re)released.
I wish there were more military dedicated building block sets of LEGO and KreO quality. There's so much I'd like to build.

Well aren't you just a big ray of sunshine? ;) lol
Myself, I am not totally convinced they have given-up on GI Joe by any means. I thought I read somewhere that there were less than 500 attendees at the last JoeCON, is that true? If so, I can understand the need to stop the thing. I bet it costs a ton of cash in order to bring one of those together! I believe they are bringing everything as far as conventions and clubs go, in-house under one roof to give people better exposure to some of their older, less popular brands as well. If so, it seems GI Joe's small following would probably fit well into that category. I thought I saw a leaked photo (or concept drawing) of a Ryan Reynolds looking Matt Trakker, getting out of some silver, futuristic looking sports car. Maybe that could have been a hoax, but Hasbro did just assemble a writer's room to try to tie-in some (not sure which) brands under one shared universe. So while we don't know for certain that GI Joe has any plans to be at the first HasCon, it seems plausible that they would have something in there set up for us Joe fans. |

Oh, and I can help the writer's room out with tying a couple brands together right now:
Autobots land on Earth, following the energon seeking Decepticons; but after receiving heavy resistance from governments, go in disguise as earth vehicles. The decepticons have already found our favorite terrosrist group, and have started talking to Cobra, and Destro. One of Destro's IG Generals makes a side deal with the decepticons in order to attain their morphing technology. He doesn't like the idea of sentient robots, so he employs his new found technology into his mechanical vehicles, making them able to transform! Destro finds out about the treachery and fires General Mayhem, forcing him to start his own group called: Venom! What do you think? |
