Hiding in a carry handle on the speaker stack in Jilly's Rockworld. Quite a few people studied this robot then put it back. By the time I left somebody had taken it.

Harry was given the task of swapping a GI for a tiara. He got to wear the tiara for a photo then had to give it back.

She kept the GI.

This brave GI was ready to go airborne, but sadly three balloons weren't enough and he only made it to the other side of the picnic table.

GI Joe - the movie

After the Transformers movie there are now plans for a GI Joe film. There has been predictable outrage that this new version of the team is international in scope.

In a follow-up to their confirmation that Stephen Sommers will direct G.I. Joe, Variety offers this new description of the team: "G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer. The property is closer in tone to X-Men and James Bond than a war film."

There are enough GIs lined up for the project that there may still be a few remaining when the film comes out and I can do "A GI reviews GI Joe".
