    Cool, I totally went All-Americ…, er, French-Canadian with my post. I think I missed the point 😉

      Loved the article. Starting looking at other parts of your site. Love the “bedrooms” feature. And yes, there should be some degree for what you do. BTW, I think I might have identified the robot in the Explorers room. Left a comment and link on that page.

        Dude, you totally nailed the robot! And thanks for the kind words on Branded. Glad I saw this here, going to add your website to that Explorers update…

    They say a picture is worth 1000 words. This is longest post I’ve ever written.

    It’s my first time participating! http://www.battlegrip.com/?p=59347 Hopefully I’ve contributed correctly (as I said, first time and all that). And we will see if the idea of a “G.I. Joe Day” catches on.

    I’ve been looking for my Joes all week, but I found a few to highlight here at least, more to come in the future as they rise from the grave.
