Yo Joe indeed. If knowing is half the battle, then we're on our way. Destro, Zartan, The Baroness against Hawk, Duke and Snake Eyes is just a few months away.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra opens August 7, 2009.

I hope. I hope my childhood toys are there to greet me with a smile. I find I'm so exicted I can barely sit still.

I couldn't afford Transformers as a kid, but if I recall one G.I. Joe figure was $2.62 (tax). And with my $5 a week allowance, I was always on the verge of picking up two a week.

For the trailer itself, it looks pretty slick. I really don't know what to expect. While I want to think back on the cartoons fondly, I am also realizing that we can't just have a bunch of red and blue lazers flying around not killing a soul.
