PRODUCTS: While desperately searching for the new Spychangers, I came across the new G.I.Joes (in Mt Pleasant & Alma, Michigan) that aren't suppose to be out until sometime in February. I was able to find all of them except the Cobra/Duke 2-pack. The Joes do have their bio cards (aka tech specs to Transfans). I must say I was pretty impressed with all of the figures and hope this is a sign of things to come for the Transformers. Yo Joe!
