A fair bit to chat about in this sess: Lady Jaye Amazon series; the Retro HiSS tank; and two listener-suggested topics: happy accidental toy purchases; and of course, the premier (and only!) GI Joe samurai, it's BUDO!

Presenting the greatest toy catalogue to ever see print: the 1990 Benelux! Heard of it? No? Well you are in for a treat. Honestly this thing is incredible. So incredible, GI Joburg is bringing backup in the form of Chief and Ben from Talking Joe!
Okay, we admit, this perhaps isn't going to make the best radio, we're discussing gorgeous vintage toy photography, so if you have the option, why not check out the YouTube vid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UXCKLHLu5I
Special thanks to Paul Panfalone of Plastic Battles, who tackled this remarkable tome of toy photography on Plastic Battles Radio, so if you're hunting for more content on the subject, be sure to check his RSS feed on Podbean! And if you're looking for his excellent scans of the catalogue, you'll find them here: https://www.plasticbattles.net/1990-gi-joe-benelux-catalog

Weekly podcasting from GI Joburg? Might be a thing... In any case we are back and talking about Cobra's Hoppin' Mad Pogo, and Sgt Slaughter's one man death mobile, the Tag Team Terminator!
Also Paul ranks the 1988 Motorized Vehicle Packs and we crack on with more great listener responses!
