Up first is Cobra's ace saboteur Firefly! This is a Toys R Us exclusive figure.

YO JOE!

I noticed you mentioned Agent Helix being hard to find. Is she really that difficult to come across? I've been debating opening her up, but if I can't easily find another one to leave closed I can't get myself to do it.

Curse me and my love for MOC joes.

She'll probably become more common after the movie hits and the first few waves start moving more (ie after kids start buying all the figures colectors don't want).

Had a friend of mine find me Helix and got her yesterday. She's one of the best female Joe figures I've owned (This year's 5-pack Baroness and Lady Jaye are quite awesome too).

**GK Punk** · 08-05-2009, 11:25 PM

Awesome, I hope she does become more common. I really want a second one. She looks great. The more pics i see of her out of the packaging, the more I want to open it. I've got a soft spot for the female joes, I like to have one to open whenever I can.

She's just the newest wave which is what's making her hard to find... Well that and she's a pretty awesome figure, so folks tend to be snatching her up. I don't know the case packouts, but my guess is she's shortpacked with a bunch of other characters. Still, I'm sure she won't be impossible to find. Hasbro really doesn't do the impossible to find figures anymore, THANK GOD!

So I've added a lot of content today for GI Joe week. Links to some great places, custom Sgt. Slaughters and my brand new Rise of Cobra Baroness review! You may have seen her reviewed elsewhere, but you've never seen her quite like this!

Plus tomorrow I've got a special guest exclusive that will blow your mind! Please check it out and thanks!

Best of the 80's Cartoon set with Alpine and the final Mass Device part comes to mind. Many people are still angry (including me!) about that.

It happens, just not as often.

Newton Gimmick · 08-08-2009, 12:41 AM

Understandable. That pack did become quite hard to get. But that's the exception, not the rule.

For what it's wroth I bought 3 or 4 of that pack in stores. But no, I don't have anymore. That's a bummer.

Newton Gimmick · 08-08-2009, 12:42 AM

It's an Infinite Hollywood exclusive! We got the man himself to stop by and give us his take on the new movie design of his figure as well as a bunch of other information that we probably didn't need. It's all part of out big GI Joe week.

I had a good chuckle doing this, so I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading!

Can you believe GI Joe week is still cranking along? The movie might have just released, but I've still got until Sunday to get in a few more reviews. This figure/vehicle combo pack is a Target exclusive and I hadn't even planned on getting him. What pushed me over the edge? Read on to find out!

G.I.Joe have always been my absolute fav toy. Brings back alot of fun memories until my sister threw them out while cleaning...

I had some of the 80's left but cant seem to find them. The modern paint looks great and I might have to get some.

I definitely reccomend it. They are 2 for $10 right now at Toys R Us. Pick up a couple and you will probably be converted lol.

**GK Punk** · 08-10-2009, 06:56 PM

Totally, I've been collecting them for years and I have to say the 25th Era figs are the best they've made. Such detail on them.
