Geewunner stopped by to share word of a new set of custom Lego G.I.Joe offerings coming our way this August – The Cobra Sea Serpents!
From the looks of the silhouette, collectors will be treated to the following awesomeness:
- Enemy Defense Platform
- Enemy Mini Attack Sub
- Enemy Diver Attack Boat
- Enemy Flying Attack Sub
- Enemy Attack Hydrofoil
But that’s not all! You can also earn free stuff from G1er; He’s launched five new categories at the store, chock full of free sets that can be triggered by placing an order of certain amounts. The more you buy, the more you get! Level 1 consists of sets that you can earn by placing an order – prior to shipping or any fees – of at least $100. Level 2 triggers at $150, Level 3 at $200, Level 4 at $250, and Level 5 at $300. While many of the sets offered at lower levels are some of our smaller and more original concept sets, each level ramps up the juiciness of the size and canonicity (is that a word, or a Police album?!?). At the time of this promotion’s launch, Geewunner has thirty-five (35!) sets available as free add-ons. Check ’em out!
Are you planning on adding any or all of the Sea Serpents to your collection? Sound off after the break!
Hi everyone, Austin from Geewunner customs here. The purpose of this thread is to interact with you folks, field questions and ask some of my own, all in the effort to make the best possible products, now, and for as long as this project continues. If you’re unfamiliar with our line, check out the blog posts for most of them at our site:

These blog posts lay out the genesis of each set, detail its features, and explain the limitations of the design - usually based on part availability and the realities of semi-mass production. Some of our other sets can occasionally be seen at our eBay listings, including the VAMP, HAL, and more. Blog posts for the balance of our line are forthcoming, and will be added to this first post accordingly.
You can also find out more about our stuff through my three appearances on the great Flag Points podcast:

We have a lot of great stuff planned for the rest of this year and beyond, from multiple eras of the franchise, so if you like what we’ve done so far, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! We'll also drop teases for upcoming sets and announcements of promotions or sales here as well.
If you have questions about specific items (make sure you've perused the blog posts before you ask questions that may be answered there) or the line in general, I’d be happy to answer them in this thread. Also, I have some questions of my own…
Are you most (or at all) interested in…
Only RAH stuff?
Just the early era (’82-‘86ish?)
Later RAH (’87-ish thru ’94 and beyond)?
Adventure Team homage sets?
Recolors/retools (i.e. red or white HISS tanks, Tiger Force, etc)?
Customs based on vehicles from fiction (Cobra Sky Crane copter, ATV from ‘Cobra’s Captives’, etc.)?
…or based on unproduced prototypes like the Tank Transporter?
Geewunner original sets “in the style of” Joe (such as our currently available Ninja Cycle 2pack)?
Original recolors/retools (such as an “arctic” AWE Striker in white)?
Playsets? Big? Small?
Playsets based on environments from fiction?
Thanks for reading, looking forward to your feedback!
Here's a sneak peek at March's releases!
There are actually two more AT-themed releases this month as well: two color variations of an original 2-pack. It's a combo of retooled & recolored versions of the Ferret and Night Landing. Looking to drop these four sets by the middle of this month.
April's two releases will probably debut at the Burbank, CA Joe show on April 6th, and become available online shortly thereafter.
been ordering your stuff and love what I got so far. Have the Vamp inbound and can't wait to see how that looks in my hands too.
His stuff is top notch. Have the adv. team stuff on the way. Can't wait.
Hey Austin, next time, try reaching out to a staff member instead of "waiting patiently". No staff member would actively look out building block threads in the Customs General Discussion Area.
Thanks.
Thanks.
No love for Slim, I guess.
PS: btw, Austin, I included your thread in my request. So you did ask, in a sense
Thanks.
If it helps, the previous thread can be deleted; this one has updated info.
We've secured our spot at the Burbank Joe show,and are preparing April's releases, set to debut at the show, as well as ensuring we have as many copies of each and every set in the line are in stock for that event. Can't wait to start teasing out the next two sets, we really think folks are going to love 'em!
i've got 2 of your ferrets. makes the new kreo version superfluous.
No love for Slim, I guess.
PS: btw, Austin, I included your thread in my request. So you did ask, in a sense
Actually, I did respond. Maybe you didn't see it/get it? As you already reached out to another Admin though, they'll handle your request.
No love for Slim, I guess.
