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!

After covering Joe toys that have gone from zero to hero in our eyes, it's only fair that we ask the inverse: which toys did we buy thinking we'd love... only to now think dramatically less of?
Plus we answer the age old questions like who would win in a fight: Batman or Captain America; and does anyone really love Spearhead?!?

You familiar with the Top Trumps card game? Yes? No? Well you're about to be! GI Joburg's resident gamer has devised a game of Top Trumps using the Motorized Vehicle and Action Packs from the late 80's! Deliciously obscure. Totally fun. Enjoy a slice of three Joe fans playing with their toys via da komputer.
Also we talk about the Super 7 Ultimates wave 3 reveal and which of those big boys are must-have Joburg purchases...

and be sure to say "O.K. to print" if you want to be immortalized on a Joe letters' page!

As if the world wasn't in enough of a state, South Africa is wracked by an energy crisis! Paul and Rob are in the dark and Steve is left flying solo... Or is he?
