Well hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just got an email from BigBadToyStore, they are saying Hasbro has officially cancelled the Rise of Cobra Wave 3 Alpha Class vehicles. Wave 3 consisted of the Lava Pod w/Volcano-Viper, Tiger Claw ATV w/Leatherneck, Polar Sharc w/Icestorm and Desert Rockslide ATAV w/Dusty.
Hi – Hasbro has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.
Thanks

So whatever boxed production samples made their way out of the factory in China onto eBay or hit retail in the Philippines is it, at least for now. Hasbro may or may not still try to get some of these into the Pursuit of Cobra line considering some of the tooling they spent money on. Only time will tell.

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards are tonight and no, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra will not be taking home any Oscars. On the other hand, the 30th Annual Golden Rasberry (Razzie) Award “Winners” were announced and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra did manage to snag one. For “Worst Supporting Actress of 2009″, they picked Sienna Miller. Now, I admit Rise of Cobra was not perfect and there was stuff I was not totally excited about, but Sienna Miller was not that bad in my opinion and far from the worst actor or actress in the movie. Considering the others nominated, Sienna Miller should not have received this “award”.

Thanks to TerrorDrome members Dagger and Sparks, we now have word that the retail chain Marshalls is currently stocking G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary figures and vehicles. The items are very reasonably priced, with figures at $3.99 and vehicles at $12.99. Retail chains such as Marshalls, TJMaxx, and Ross have been making headlines in the Joe community as the ever elusive DVD packs, and TRU Senior Ranking Officer packs have been showing up with prices ranging from $5.00 – $15.00. Aside from 25th figures, Valor Vs. Venom and Sigma 6 are amongst the other Joe lines you may stumble across. Happy hunting Joe fans!

The infamous toyssir898 has posted some interesting images of what could possibly be some upcoming vehicles for the Pursuit of Cobra line. Featured in the images are a Joe and Cobra version of a retooled Sigma 6 Iron Hammer, and 2 version of the classic A.W.E. Striker. The Iron Hammer corresponds with the reveal that Hasbro gave us at the 2009 JoeCon. Included with the vehicles is what looks to be Duke(?) and a new version of WildWeasel(?).
Also posted are some prototypes of the A.W.E. Striker that are pretty interesting. If you notice, printed on the hood is “InGen” which was the name of John Hammond’s corporation in Jurassic Park, not to mention the “JP” logo printed on the side. The included figures in the images are also a mystery. They appear to be kit bashed version of the Toys “R” Us exclusive Fire Fly figure. As of right now, none of these images are “official” or “confirmed” by Hasbro, in addition to there being no official information on possible release dates.
