So when do these go on sale? Will BBTS be offering a pre-order?

Picture #1... the one with it all closed up was done in 2007 as a favor to Chris Murray from Guy Cassaday to give Chris a rough idea of what it would have looked like all closed up because there was no original sketch available that depicted the such. So #1 should be taken a bit more lightly as it isn't an "official" preproduction sketch.
All of the pictures (including the ones not pictured) will be available for viewing at Joe Con. And we go sketch by sketch on the podcast so most of the questions are answered on the episode. Keep in mind this thing has 3 floors and lots of things fold into themselves. |

I had a long talk with Kirk about this playset at Joe con 2011. We talked about it for a good 30 mins. I asked him if it was real and if so what he recalled about it. He told me it was very real and that a mock up was made. He said it opened up and had all kinds of really neat play features. He told me that it was going to come out in 1988. He said that the reason they did not release it was due to slowing sales by that time. He also said the price point would have been to high at the time. So to listen to your pod cast and see the drawings was a real treat for me. Thanks to all of you guys for taking the time to talk about it.

I can't wait for episode 3! I liked how you guys talked about the Night Viper and Crimson guard being carry overs that did not make it into the 30th line. It makes one wonder what else did not make the cut. I know for sure that Hasbro wanted Tru to do a Tiger force Skystriker and Night Boomer as exclusives for the 30th line. I was told flat out that TRU did not want it.

Hi there! I HATE to Necro an ancient thread, but despite me being someone who considers himself pretty knowledgeable in ARAH over the years (I’ve known about the cancelled 95 Battle Rangers, Manimals, Star Brigade & Ninja Commandos, plus other cancelled toys like the GI Joe train, since at least the late 90s) this is first time I’ve ever heard about this Cobra Island, and it sounds amazing.
Unfortunately the link on the first page with actual design sketches of this is broken / long gone, does anyone know where I can see more about this? Also, as this is a design by Guy Cassaday is there anything about this either in the new improved ‘The Art of GI Joe’ (I have the original foil softcovers), the upcoming DVD interview with the creators which is coming out on BluRay or DVD or in any of the 13 current ‘Creating GI Joe A Real American Hero ‘ books? I found a few pictures at the bottom here, https://www.3djoes.com/guy-cassaday....JQH2pD4GGq-lpo but the website where the rest of the pictures were is a broken link unfortunately. |

This Wedge evolved into the Rage, right?
