Trading card play packs for G.I. Joe: Retaliation

If you’re a…  ahem…  thirty-something G.I. Joe fan like myself, you likely remember a time when it seemed like everything had trading cards attached to it.  I think I still have tons of them kicking around from the ’89 Batman film here somewhere.

Over the years, this tradition has faded away somewhat, or I just haven’t been paying enough attention.  But I guess it’s time to pay attention again!  Enterplay has G.I. Joe: Retaliation Trading Card Packs up for sale!  They look to be sold in packs of 6, with a total of 48 to collect.

I’m not sure if they’ll specifically be scenes from the film or other stuff, but I’ve got a few packs coming, so I’ll find out soon enough.  Thanks to Skinny Joe Fan for the info.  Check out Enterplay to pick up your packs!

Screen Team Media video interviews of the cast of G.I. Joe: Retaliation

These YouTube clips keep hitting, though these particular ones don’t feature any real footage, just some insight from the cast.  But the main characters aren’t the only ones getting video interviewed, and just showing what a large, ensemble cast this is, we have what look to be our first video interviews of Ray Park, Jonathon Pryce, and RZA from Scream Team Media, courtesy of Skinny Joe Fan!

Because there are so many interviews, check them out after the jump.

SHOW NOTES

As of late, when most of us think of Retaliation and the color red, we think of how much of a knock out Adrianne Palicki looks in that red dress she is seen wearing in the trailers.  Well, red means something else when it comes to worldwide premiere’s of movies, it means the RED CARPET.  We Paramount UK afforded an opportunity for our man in the UK, Dave Tree, to attend the premiere and get a spot on the side of the carpet, we couldn’t pass it up.  Throw in an exclusive interview with Director Jon M. Chu, and it is a DONE DEAL!  WOJM is red carpet bound.  Check this show out as Justin and Gary comment on the movie and interviews, all the while throwing coverage back to London for updates from the premiere party.  Music, ninjas and celebs abound!  This is a CAN’T MISS special – once in a lifetime – edition of WOJM!

GeneralsJoes and WOJM Interview with G.I. Joe: Retaliation Director Jon Chu

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is right around the corner…  only mere days away!  The lucky folks over in London actually got their red carpet premiere last week, and both GeneralsJoes and the What’s on Joe Mind podcast were fortunate enough to have some representatives at the London premiere.

Dave Tree from All the Cool Stuff and Russ Sheath, contributor to Aint It Cool News both very kindly offered to cover the event on our behalf, and they knocked the ball out of the friggen park!  Hitting the red carpet, recording the press conference, and even getting a face-to-face interview with director Jon M Chu!

Most of the audio coverage from the red carpet and press conference event is now posted in audio format on Special Edition #26 of What’s on Joe Mind, but the interview with Jon Chu can be read below.  This is was a fantastic opportunity for both the podcast and this website, and we greatly appreciate Paramount, Mr. Chu, and of course Dave and Russ for getting this all together for us.  We are infinitely grateful for everyone’s participation and willingness to work with us.

Less than a week left! Reason #6 why G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be great!

Coming down the home stretch, and we’re officially less than a week from the film’s launch, but Twitziller is still going strong, breaking down reason #6 to go see G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

#6:

Twitziller covered Cobra Commander in an earlier entry, but as Rise of Cobra clearly showed, Cobra Commander can exist without his battle helmet…  but he’s not nearly as damn cool.  I could almost hear the collective geek out across the entire Joe fandom when this version of Cobra Commander was revealed for the first time in a trailer so many months ago.  Ever since, G.I. Joe fans have clung on every small appearance in a trailer, image, TV spot or character profile.  This battle helmet is a big reason why.

Follow Twitziller on Twitter or stick here on GeneralsJoes for the latest updates.  Previous entries can be seen below.
