TOY NEWS FOR 11/15/2012 - GI JOE - SECOND CHANCE AT SUPER-LIMITED OKTOBER GUARD VS IRON GRENADIERS CONVENTION SET

The GI Joe Club mentioned that they were looking into doing a second run of convention sets for fans who could not make it to the show, or just missed out on the first run, but that they "couldn't make any promises".

Well, it looks like they were able to pull it off, because now you get the chance to own this set without going to the convention! (Which you would need a time machine for because it happened five months ago!)

I'm going to assume that the secondary market prices on this set-- which skyrocketed right after the convention-- played a big part in the Club's decision to do a second run. Let's hope it pays off for them and that we'll see more of this in the future. (My condolences to the poor saps who paid close to $1,000 for this set on e-bay. Try to be too hard on yourselves.)


If you'd like to own one of your very own, you must already be a member of the GI Joe Club-- or know someone who is to order it for you.

Go here to pre-order your's now for $360.00. The deadline to get your order in is Nov 30th and the set will not actually ship until Spring of next year.
