G.I. Joe Convention NON-ATTENDING Registration is now ONLINE!

While the folks who are attending the 2012 G.I. Joe Convention in New Orleans have been jumping up and down over the past few days, folks who are not able to attend (but still want the Convention boxed set) have been eagerly sitting on their hands waiting to register.

The wait is over.  The following email just came through from the G.I. Joe Collectors Club:

Hello all!

NON-ATTENDING Registration is now live.  

WE ARE LIMITING EVERYONE (per household/per member, duplicate accounts for the same person don’t count) TO ONE SET DURING THE FIRST 24 HOURS.  After that time period we will entertain potential second sets.  If you choose more than one set we may cancel your entire order.

IF YOU LOG IN INCORRECTLY AND ARE GETTING NON-MEMBER PRICES PLEASE CONTACT US AS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE PRICING AFTER THE FACT. YOUR LOG IN IS THE SAME AS THE ONE YOU TESTED IN THE STORE.  

Use the email link at GIJOECON.com in the menu on the left if you need to contact us. 

In addition, the attending sets left in stock are now reserved for people who have not ordered a set AND you will be limited to ONE.

Please take your time in the registration system to ensure you don’t make any mistakes. 

Go to GIJoeCon.com and click on Registration.

See you in NOLA!

More solid analysis about the G.I. Joe: Retaliation release date move

We’ve obviously been seeing a lot of talk online about the date move for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but most of it from the mainstream sites has just been a mention, and then moving on.  Patrick Goldstein from the LA Times’ “Big Picture” actually put out some very nice and detailed analysis of the move.

So far his opinions are coming pretty close to mirroring mine.  In fact, he thinks much the same way I do in that this isn’t just Battleship’s fault, you need to look further back to John Carter of Mars as well, in setting a precedent for failure that major studios are suddenly growing very skittish of.

Check out the post right here.  It’s a great read.

So as we push on towards JoeCon, Gary and Mike are making their own promotional push…they’re appearing regularly on other podcasts to help promote JoeCon, and of course, talk up the What’s on Joe Mind podcast a little bit.

Here are some recent shows you can catch them on:

More to come!  Enjoy.

Carded SDCC Jinx images posted online at The Toy Verse

The G.I. Joe: Retaliation film is delayed and the toys aisles are likely to be somewhat vacant this year as well…  but there is still some very cool stuff coming our way this year, and tops on that list are the SDCC Exclusive Jinx figures.

Troy from The Toy Verse managed to get his hands on these figures, and has posted an awesome gallery for them right here.  I’ve mirrored just a couple of the images below, but you should definitely check out The Toy Verse to take a peek at the full gallery.

What’s on Joe Mind Episode 56 is online now

Did you ever want to go back in time?  Back to the simpler times…  back to the times before we found out G.I. Joe: Retaliation was delayed for nine months?

Now you can!  Hot on the heels of the biggest G.I. Joe story in years, we give you Episode 56 of What’s on Joe Mind where we discuss none of it!  In our defense, we have valid reasons for that, considering we recorded it before the news hit.  Regardless, there were still plenty of great things to discuss this episode, as we bring on Gary “Gyre-Viper” Head from the JoeDeclassified SpecOps Podcast to talk a little bit about the JoeDeClassified project and what convention attendees might expect to see at the booth.

Arune Singh from Marvel Comics joins us as well as we continue our pushed towards JoeCon and G.I. Joe: Retaliation… err… crap.  As always, hit up our Podbean Page, or just check out the embedded player below.  Show Notes as usual are after the jump.
