ItsAllTrue Review: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Ice Viper and Barbecue

NoisyDvL512
You might remember that I ended my previous GI Joe ROC review, on Sgt. Stone and Shipwreck, with "The Ice Viper and that yellow Barbecue at Toys R Us are calling." Well, they called and my wallet answered. But, it's not that I'm weak - it's that TRU had a 2 for $10 sale. That's a game-changer right there. I even bought two more that I'll review next week. I know, I know. It's not just the sale. It's that I'm weak for cool toys. But hey, at least I get to take pictures and show them off, right?

Mr. Rant says, “Stop showing unproduced figures!”

Vault11

img align=left src="http://www.itsalltrue.net/resources/images/really.png" hspace=4>Last weekend’s Comic-Con gave us a ton of interesting news and great pictures of the upcoming toys this year. But there was one thing that stood out to me like a glaring imperfection, and it was something Mattel doesn’t plan on bringing to the fans.

After all the years of rainbow, neon, ultra-violet, and caramel versions of Batman that fans have been bombarded with by various companies, you would think that every variation of Batman’s costume would have been made at least once. But you’d be wrong. As I perused the pictures that flooded back to us from San Diego, a shiny black and white beacon of awesome stared back at me from the Mattel case. Zebra Batman.

ItsAllTrue on the Road: Oklahoma City Lego Store Grand Opening

Vault16

On Saturday, the Itsalltrue.net Crew got up unusually early and headed out to Oklahoma City for the grand opening of a LEGO Store at the Penn Square Mall. I was excited, to say the least. When NoisyDvL5 told me about the store, I knew I had to be there for the grand opening. Before now, if I wanted to “pick-a-brick” or buy exclusive sets I would have to travel at least nine hours. Needless to say, I’d never been to a Lego store before. I'd still like one closer, say Kansas City, but I’ll take what I can get.

Do you find yourself back at work on Monday morning after a long toynews binge? Not sure if you might have missed something important while you were reeling from another panel's announcements? It'sAllTrue.net has you covered.

First, we'd like to thank everyone that kept checking in with us over the weekend and especially those of you that sent in links to let us know where to look. We also want to thank all the great sites who were able to attend the convention and beam us back those great images and the latest news (a list of them will follow at the bottom of this post). And finally, a special shout out to RTM and AFI who linked back to our coverage. We appreciate it! Here's a quick re-cap of the four days of coverage with links provided:

SDCC Sat RoundUp –
Armchair Coverage Day 4

NoisyDvL510


Coverage is a little later than normal tonight. The ItsAllTrue Crew travelled to Oklahoma City to attend the Grand Opening of Oklahoma's first Lego store! We had a few pics of the outside of the store and the R2D2 Build event at ItsAllTrue.Net's Twitter, but check back on Monday when we'll have AdventureVault's full article with high quality pictures of the Grand opening! Now, on to San Diego...

Day 4 SDCC coverage saw the toy portions of the show winding down. The biggest panels on the day were the Hasbro/Marvel panel and the Diamond Select Toys Minimates panel. Also, there were a few nuggets revealed on twitter and a few more galleries updated, so the casual toy fan might still have a few things to catch up on. But with SDCC winding down and toy news starting to become non-existent, Day 4 coverage will likely be the last Armchair Roundup.

I wanted to take a moment and thank everybody for stopping by and helping make this endeavor a success! When I started consolidating links on Wednesday, I had no idea what the next few days would bring. Even though I wasn't there this was the most fun I had on an SDCC weekend in years. Thanks again! Now, on to the links!
