It's been a month since our epic USA adventure and we've had ample time to reflect on the time that was. So we're unpacking some of our experiences and of course all of the awesome toys we've acquired. What toys may have surprised us... and what toys may have disappointed us...
And it wouldn't be an episode of GI Joburg without some debate! So we pit the Raider against the HAVOC and the Battle Wagon against the Earthquake as we ask the eternal playground question: who would win in a fight!?

We asked for suggestions on Facebook and Twitter as to what collectors thought were the best figure card artwork from the first four FSS series'. Now we pit the best of the best in a battle to the top of the pile! Massive thanks to Chris McLeod of The Full Force Podcast for not only guesting on the show, but putting together this gorgeous video presentation for all our benefit!

After an incredible weekend at JoeCon 2018 and a day of sightseeing in Washington, the guys unwind and reflect on the time that was. No frills, just four guys talking about the experience. Oh, and also historical: it's the first podcast the members of GI Joburg have ever reorded from the same location. WHAAAAAT?!

HERE WE GO! Final podcast before Steve, Paul and Rob board a plane to the 2018 G.I. Joe Convention! It's nothing short of a dream. We chat about our Convention expectations, dreams, aspirations. The itinerary is discussed and as a special treat, we've got customiser extraordinaire Jim Godfrey on the show to talk about a very special custom he's been working on... If you're headed to the Con and want to get into the mood; or if you're not going to the Con and you want a slice of the action, GI Joburg is there!
A REAL SOUTH AFRICAN HERO!
G.I.
JOE!

Ever since we owned our first vehicle an eternal question has plagued us: who sits where? How do you decide? Cartoon or comic book appearances? Filecard info? Personal preference? Colour scheme?!?
The Joburg boys are joined by JD Onesi of General Geekery Podcast, one of the most well-versed GI Joe geeks out there, to decide on the best personel for some of their favourite vehicles. We also start getting hyped about JoeCon and the recent release of our final Atlantis Factor episode. And if you donate $5 or more to our Go Fund Me before the end of Sunday the 27th of May 2018, you get to decide who features in our next web series!

Tonight on Joe On Joe... er, GI JOBURG, we chat with Joe Slepski of the Joe On Joe Podcast! Everything from Avengers Infinity War to the announcement of the Snake Eyes solo movie come under the spotlight. And the team manage to settle on at least one ideal pitch for a GI Joe comic or film. We can dream, right?

Dual topic on this show! GI Joburg discuss their personal fave picks of the unexpected FSS 8.0. And then we introduce the GI Joburg HALL OF SHAME! Not every toy released under the Joe banner was a winner and in this episode the boys introduce their LEAST favourite figures, vehicles, and concepts from their beloved toyline. Rob and Steve have been hitting the bottle and Paul's head is always swimming in paint fumes so prep thyself for... shenanigans.
And hey! As always, if you have a few bucks lying spare, we're drawing closer to our goal and you can be a part of this awesome JoeCon success story! Aaaand score some exclusive Joburg merch. Check us out at:

Steve is in Romania of all places! It's the home of Dracula and and some of the creepiest castles around! So what better opportunity to talk about GI Joe's very own Silent Castle and it's role in the mythology? Take a trip with us as we engage in some operations deep inside Eastern Europe...
And it's getting down to the wire for our JoeCon 2018 GoFundMe! Will the South Africans make it to their first JoeCon in June this year? If you like what we do and you're in a position to help out, please check our campaign over at www.gofundme.com/gijoburg-joecon2018
