The title says it all folks. The Eaglehawk has landed. Join the team as they unbox, assemble and share first impressions and comparisons of the venerable helicopter's remake. Should you race off and get one? Should you give it a skip? Only one thing is certain: to do either without listening to this episode is folly!

In this episode the GI Joburg team roll out their top five fantasy picks of characters needing GI Joe action figure treatment. Paul hates on Megan Fox; Steve wants to peel April O'Neil's banana; and Rob has no idea who Jem is... ...not that Jem is in this episode. Why would we do a thing like that? Get your Snake out of its box and give it a whirl!

So it came and went. The event GI Joe fandom counted the days til. Twice. GI Joe: Retaliation. After firing off some quick responses in Episode 20, the GI Joburg fellas return with more considered opinions on how they felt about the film. No gaping plot holes are left unpoked. Paul takes a swipe at the current slew of movie toys, Steve takes a swipe at rap music, and Rob is incomprehensible, often. But hey, this marks history as GI Joburg's first episode recorded inside a plane!

Who has the superior vehicles? GI Joe or Cobra? In this episode the team select a handful of Joe vehicles and their Cobra equivalents for a head to head battle of technology, strategy and sheer toy enjoyment. The guys also discuss forthcoming releases including the long awaited reissue of the venerable Tomahawk, the all-new EAGLEHAWK. Yes fans, it's coming and it is beautiful. Steve has finally returned from the Far East and thankfully the audio quality is a marked improvement on the rather arduous past two podcasts. Thanks for bearing with us!

Another seemingly lost episode has been recovered! Steve makes some Mint In Sealed Box finds and begs the question: to open, or not to open? What are the rules, the do's, the dont's? Vintage sealed items are like catnip to collectors. But once you take them home, are they to be pretty wallpaper? Or do you crack those suckers open and wage war like it's nineteen eighty-four? Lot's of question marks in that blurb... tune in. Find answers.

With the absence of new GI Joe product hitting us all rather hard, the GIJoburg boys return to an earlier time when G.I. Joe toys had disappeared indefinitely. What does the self-respecting fan of the ultimate 3'3/4 inch fighting man do with no new Joes? Throw in the towel? Save some bob? Or do our attentions turn elsewhere? Rob, Paul and Steve do a retrospective on toy collecting post 1994 and draw some comparisons with this current drought. Also in this episode, two new segments dealing with the best the vintage line had to offer. And Steve sucks at remembering lyrics. Bigtime.
