Cobra bases on the moon? Starfighter pilots that can fly at "quasar velocities"? An Empire of alien life forms attacking GI Joe?
Let's take a minute to acknowledge that Star Brigade brought the most bat-shit crazy concepts into GI Joe. And lets take many more minutes to discuss them! Hey, love it or hate it, someone (or a team of someones) dreamed up this beautiful hodgepodge of sci-fi tropes and trotted out glimpses of it on the Star Brigade filecards. Let's stitch it together and try and make some sense of it.

HasLab Classified Series HiSS tank.
I feel like saying 'nuff said, but that would be doing a disservice to our excellent guest, Mauler Joe! Joe is the man responsible for GI Joburg's remote control Mauler tank. A toy professional himself, he has invaluable insight into the HiSS, the Mauler, and plenty of playtime tales as well.

It's the wrap up of YoJoe June... so let's talk about STAR WARS! Seriously though, its been a while since we checked in with "The Wars" and the wake of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series seems like a good enough excuse as any!

Happy 40th anniversary GI Joe!!! Rob, Paul and Steve discuss the best and worst from the four (five?) decades of GI Joe: 1982, 1992, 2002, 2012... and 2022! The toyline has changed so much and we check in with it to see what we love and what we loathe from those auspicious years.

There’s a fair bit of GI Joe animation out there. Be it DIC, Extreme, Sigma 6, Resolute, Renegades and, of course, the legendary Sunbow series. And these shows served to showcase a lot of toys. But nevertheless certain characters, designs, and concepts slipped through the cracks and were criminally omitted. GI Joburg takes a look at a few of these toys in episode 251.
Plus Steve rants about Shockwave’s filecard. It’s all going down!

It's been a running gag here at GI Joburg (perhaps for a little too long...) that Rob never has any new swag. Well that's about to change. Rob's got a mess of toys from Classified to Vintage, Vehicles to Carded Figures. And it's all about to get rated and reviewed by your pal and mine, the Lovin' Scoopful, Robbo!
