Glad to see activity on this thread Hi y'all....can't wait for all the new stuff. Have you guys been keeping up with Joepackage's thread? He's a former Hasbro employee that's sharing some of his work on GIJOE; it's a really fun thread to read! He presented one of the early Joe Retaliation slides that depicted the idea (please note that it was just an idea pitch), the USS Flag with individualized weapon pods/vehicles that launched from it like the old Thunderbirds toons. It was interesting to see the brainstorming stuff at that level!

Hey all and good morning. Two things this morning. I was at TRU in Tigard and ran across GIJOE kreos. There was a whole set when I left last night. They were with the rest of the kreos not on the endcap. If your into kreo there you go. Secondly...I came across my Big Lob figure I forgot that I had. Its MIB. People are asking $150 but I'd take $75 or trade for Doc,QK DVD version,and Alpine. Any takers please let me know. Have a great day and Yo Joe!!

Cool score Nightfall, I have mine arriving tomorrow from BBTS since I didn't want to gamble on how long it would take TRU/Target to get these in stock....

I understand that this thing is just a love letter to us collectors, I would be really interested in knowing your impressions once you have assembled one.

Thanks for the Intel, hope your are having good summer.

Summer is going good. Started college this week at CCC. 40 years old and finally getting my degree. I won't be putting them together for a while due to room. I feel the chopper is a great gesture and I hope things keep rolling. A lot of people are saying death of the line is around the corner. I disagree. Its a great property for hasbro. I think they should partner up with another company with GIJOE being on the forefront for manufacturing. I think by doing this we would see more of what we want IMO. I hope your doing well Norin. Have a great day bro. YO JOE!!

I think that Hasbro needs some money.... Look at all their boys lines... Nothing new on the shelves for months at a time... They really either don't know how to manage their lines, or are suffering some cash flow issues.. just the fact that Star Wars is dead on the pegs is a sign that the company is in trouble....

Summer is going well for me, congrats on returning to school, what are you shooting for in terms of degree, I mean to finish mine some day too (History & Political science major)

Going for my Business /Management degree. Your career choice sounds cool Norin. That'd be a cool achievement.

Not sure about that... I was intending law school but now I just want to finish what I started and got sidetracked from.... If I finished the degree I would want to get my Masters and then Doctorate, I have always wanted to have a job where I lectured and had intelligent discussion, instead I own used book store.

Follow your dreams Norin. Having your own business is awesome. Like my dad keeps telling me...don't let anything stand in your way. I should come and check out your shop. Where are you located?

Got my Eaglehawk today it is assembled here at the store, admiring it now as we speak. It is truly awesome.
