Hey..

I bought the newest LTR mag the other day and I wanted to share some stuff with everybody.

Inside the front cover is a ad for the Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow (supposed to be Zartan) comic pack.

What's neat is the marketing people did a filecard for Larry Hama:

LEGENDARY WRITER

SSN: Classified
Primary Specialties: Writing all 155 issues of the classic GIJOE comic (1982-1994)
Secondary Specialties: Artist, actor, musician

When it comes to devising complex characters, exciting plots and a good-vs-evil battle forn the ages, Hama's the man!

"The single work which I am most proud of is GIJOE."

Old news by now but it's pics...

Star Wars pics:
-Han Solo (Sandstorm Deleted Scene?)
-Luke Skywalker (Sandstorm Deleted Scene?)
-Chewbacca (Sandstorm Deleted Scene?)
-Yarna Dal Garga
-Ak-Rev
-Bane Malor
-Ewok 2-Pack (Ewokling in basket)
-Darth Vader
-R7-Z0 (B-A-D)
-R5-A2 (B-A-D)
-plus some Clone Wars ones

GIJOE pics:
-Night Specter w/Grand Slam (might get it for the vehicle)
-AWE Striker w/Crankcase (might get vehicle)
-HISS w/Driver (might get vehicle)
-Snake-Eyes vs Red Ninjas
-Cobra Night Watch
-GIJOE Senior Ranking Officers: Grunt, Duke, Hawk (Duke in mint green?)
-Crimson Guard Senior Ranking Officers: Cobra Commander, CG Trooper, CG Officer (I thought all Siegees were equiv to Major to begin with?)
-Cobra Senior Ranking Officers: Cobra Officer, Cobra Commander, Cobra Soldier

Indiana Jones:
-Cairo Swordsman
-German Soldier
-Indian Jones (Jacket)
-Indiana Jones (w/o Jaclet)
-Marion Ravenwood
-Monkey Man
-Rene Belloq
-Sallah
-German Soldiers
-Indy w/Ark
-Marion w/Cairo Henchman
-Cemetary Warrior
-Colonel Dovchenko
-Indiana Jones (Rocket Launcher)
-Irina Spalko
-Mutt Williams (snake)
-Mutt Williams (Jacket)
-Russian Soldier
-Ugha Warrior

This line has so much potential for other customs. I know I will be getting extras of the Colonel, Irina, the Russian Soldier, and the German Soldiers to augment my Oktober Guard. Mutt could be used as Billy. The various Cairo ones could be re-done as bad guys. I also think the two Warriors could be useful.

Hope they continue this line so we get some even more. I'm really Jonesin'

Plus there is Batman: Dark Knight, Speed Racer, and a section devoted to M.A.S.K.

What sucks is they had issue #184 on the rack pushing it as the new issue in my area. I just got that yesterday. I need to get a subscription to that magazine.

Man, I want that R7 droid, but I don't really feel like spending a ton of money on regular figures I DON'T want in order to get the parts.

Any Star Wars collectors that aren't really droid fans out there want to work out a little deal?
