Hi all,

I’ve had the opportunity of purchasing a large amount of comics from a collector who has given up on Joe collecting (shame on him!). With these comics, I have expanded my comic book collection significantly. These comics not only included most of the Marvel comics, but also some of the DDP and IDW comics I was missing.

I still have a few issues missing now (of course I have all the TPB’s and have read them all). If anybody can help me find the following single issues, let me know in a reply or contact me through Twitter (@EuropeanJoes).

Happy Collecting and YoJoe!

Hi all,

for the time being my Kre-o’s have been stuck in a Detolf cabinet, but the collection has been growing so that I will need to add some extra shelves to it. I found some ideas on the interwebs already on how to do that and as soon as I can physically get near the figures again (see my previous post), I’ll start on that.

For now, I want to share this great idea from Ikeahackers. Check it out:

I think it will look great to have a G.I. Joe and Cobra frame on the wall 🙂

See you soon!

Hi all,

I’ve had some trouble getting the G.I. Joe kre-o sets in Belgium, but eventually I succeeded in getting all the sets. If anybody can help me get the bagged kreons… just post a reply or send me a mail or a tweet 🙂

Bitten by the building bug, I’ve been looking at other (building) toys to add to my G.I. Joe collection. The first obvious choice is LEGO, but I didn’t really find something that would fit. So the second brand is Kre-O itself. The Transformers sets are pretty cool, but I’m not into that reality, so my choice fell on the Kre-O Battleship sets. I had been looking around, but the prices were still quite high (min. €20 – $26 per box). But then… I walked into my local Action store (it’s a store that sells office supplies, kitchen aid tools, toys, food, … you name it, they probably have it) and I browsed past the toys section (they once had some Joes on sale). My eyes fell on these sets:

 

Each of these were on sale for a little €6 ($ 7.5)! They will make a great addition to my collection. The aliens are not exactly B.A.T.’s, but hey, the vehicles are quite cool and the generic humans can be used as Greenshirts 🙂

All I need to do know is get them build and find a place to create a great dio or display… Keep you posted!
