GI Joe 2 Cobra Strikes Early?
According to Latino Review, GI Joe 2 Cobra Strikes may be pushed up from an August 10th 2012 release date, to an earlier summer release date. This is due to Star Trek 2 possibly being pushed back to winter 2012:
Unless the stars and planets align properly, it would be difficult for the writers and Abrams to complete the project in the next thirteen months.“Don’t be surprised if Paramount and Abrams push back six months at least,” wrote Mike Fleming of Deadline.
If that happens, Paramount has an option to move up the “G.I. Joe” sequel to an earlier summer release date next year.
With reports that Cobra Strikes will not be shot in 3D nor post coverted to 3D, perhaps an earlier release is feasible. [Read more…]
GI Joe 30th Anniversary Bravo Vehicles Walmart UPC Codes
HISS Tank boards member jordan23 has passed along the UPC codes for the GI Joe 30th Anniversary/GI Joe Renegades bravo vehicles from Walmart:
1. Even if your WallyMart does not carry joes currently you can talk to a manager about trying to get them to carry them. All they have to do is activate the item and order. I did this at my own store (that does not carry joes) and product is in transit.2. By far the best news: in the system we have 3 new vehicles. All three have a retail of $19.96 and they are described as:
- GIJ Cobra Hiss Tank Unknown – (UPC#65356965167)
- GIJOE Vamp Unknown- (UPC#65356960618)
- GIJOE BLK Dragon Unkown (UPC#65356960617)
Thanks to jordan23 for the heads up! [Read more…]

Get On The Waitlist For The Sideshow Exclusive Edition DustyPython Patrol Croc Master
The GI Joe Collectors’ Club has posted a new(albeit small) image of the upcoming Python Patrol Croc Master repaint which is a running change figure for Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 6. Gee, I wonder where that came from?. This figure has not been spotted at retail yet.
The “new” deco has arguably driven up appeal for what is an otherwise plentiful figure from wave 6. [Read more…]
