I am happy just having you here and have you you watch the videos If you do choose to send something to me, I will open it in a video like this one If I get anything in the PO box in the month of August then next month We'll do another one of these videos, but if not then we won't do an unboxing video and that'll be just fine, too So I thank you to everyone who sent something that was received in July I think I've already got some stuff for August, but if I got it after you know July 31st, it'll go in the video for August. So thank you to everyone as you can see I have a really big box here. I'm gonna open this one last I'm gonna go through these first. We've got some letters here. We've got at least one thing I know what it is and I want to thank everyone for sending these so let's go ahead and And open these up. I've already cut everything open to make it easier to pull out But I've not looked in any of these to see what we got So I will be surprised and so will you let's get started. Alright, let's open this one first This is from Brandon Knight It looks like a card So let's slide that open And ah, it is a card. It's this is a very nice Mountain view. It says Dear ACC, five years of events that we love coming together for is Cobra Convergence 5. Yes We are right in the middle of it. Let's enjoy this time as we show our love for Cobra I can't wait to see all the fun stuff each creator will bring Thank you for doing this and bringing us along and together during these hard times I'm proud of you and I am proud of to be part of this great community. Well, thank you very much I'm proud to have you in this community Even if we live far away, I feel we have some great friends. I agree with that We have both been through many Many things some doors have closed many Doors are waiting to open let the adventures continue your pal Brandon Knight aka Knight Viper. Thank you very much, Brandon That was a really nice sentiment and Brandon just Summarizes what's really important about this project And I've enjoyed looking at toys and I've enjoyed exploring GI Joe again the thing that I had so much fun with as a kid but what has Really stuck with me and what will last is the friendships that we've made I've become some for some of you. I've been I've become close friends I've got to meet a lot of you in person and so thank you for that and Yeah, we will continue the adventure next one is now. This is from Northumberland And I think I know who this is because I think we've received some letters from this friend before Yes, I recognize the handwriting This is Yes, Gary Watson. Hello, Gary and thank you for writing again This one out of definitely need my glasses for I'll take a quick read through this just to make sure there's nothing too personal in it And then I will Let you know what Gary has written. Okay, Gary shares some thoughts and GI Joe slash action force Memories including a UK and Europe action force Pallet toy exclusive action pack That included a cobra claw a cobra trooper Ripcord and Duke version one that sounds like a pretty cool action pack Of course, we did not get that in the States But I would have been thrilled to get that in the States I would have loved to have all of those things in one package that would have been great But Yeah, and he get some amusement about my cobra ice snake review where I had the ice snake Knockover Spider-man that was that was fun. I I just have that spider-man figure handy and Occasionally, I'll just grab it and throw it into something But mainly he shares lots of memories. He's got some thoughts about about GI Joe extreme and he's got Oh and a list of GI Joe figures and vehicles he wished he had got and Yeah, you know as I got some of these that are on your list, but like I as a kid I did not have the I didn't have the conquest x-30, but a friend had it So I got to play with it a lot I Don't believe I had Pathfinder Um But I think I had most of these so it see if if we were friends as kids you could have played with mine That's that's how my friends always used to do it. So Yeah, you'd bring your toys over and we'd have a big battle and we would just all We'd all play with whatever we wanted to play with we didn't really care You know who it belonged to We did care, you know about taking our own stuff back to our house But you know when we were playing, you know, we needed the whole GI Joe team versus the whole Cobra team So, you know if somebody's gonna get Selfish about playing with a particular toy then Then you're gonna have a problem Co-operating and having a really cool fun battle. So I thank you for that Gary I am keeping all of this just as I will keep Brandon's Card every letter that's written to me. I keep every single one of them I have a special letter carrier for these. So if you write something to me, I'm not throwing these away These I hope to keep even after, you know, maybe my collection isn't with me anymore someday in the future When I'm an old man in a nursing home I still will have these and I'll still be able to look back on them and read them So thank you to everyone who writes me a letter. Okay. Next up is T Kyle Bennett For I don't usually say where people are from I won't give away your full address But it does say Fort Polk, Louisiana. My dad said he had Army basic training in Fort Polk So that's where I know Fort Polk, Louisiana from so T Kyle Bennett, let's see what we got in here.

Oh I got to see this. I didn't leave anything in there, right? I Got busted a couple of times for not checking the envelopes thoroughly enough and I left stuff in there that I didn't get on camera Sorry about that. I'm trying to be more careful about that But mr. T Kyle Bennett this is who it's like It's like heavy if that is That's so awesome Um Wolverines, you know When I was a kid and we you know weren't really Playing with GI Joe for GI Joe because it had kind of gotten in a I know weird direction We started customizing and we made our own team sort of like GI Joe and we called it the Wolverines And of course that our Wolverines were named after the Wolverines from the movie red dawn But this just reminds me it almost it takes me right back to That time when we we felt we were being very creative because we figured out that we could Take the screws out of the backs of the figures and swap the parts around and make our own guys So that's what makes this makes me think of Thank you, mr. Bennett. I can't thank you enough for that. That is awesome Thank you for your service and thank you for this. This is special to me I'm not only keeping the sticker and the challenge coin thing. I'm also keeping the letter with my others And that is something that I will look forward to rereading someday in the future to remember These amazing times that we had during this journey let's now turn to Christopher Hilt from Ogden, Utah Christopher this feels like a book So I'm going to open it and it says please read first.

This next one is from Brandon Payne and I know what it is I just hadn't had a chance to open it yet He because he told me what he was sending to me. This is a comic book Brandon Payne by the way Painted plastic on YouTube. He is in Cobra Convergence this year. So check his channel out and this is The IDW GI Joe A complete silence comic book and we open this up and set this aside Hama Leeloha Roussos and Dale and I believe it Jeremy Dale the artist that recently passed away quite suddenly and This is something that I've been urged to look at what I what I believe this is Is it has a reprint of the original GI Joe real American hero issue number 21 this famous silent issue But then it has Yeah, silence between borders Which is a story that essentially takes place sort of in between the panels of the silent issue and it is also It is also without dialogue and Yeah, I'm not gonna like It would be pointless for me to read it to you because it doesn't have dialogue, but I'm not going to Describe every page But this is something that I want to actually sit down and absorb and enjoy the the quality of it But yeah, this is these are nice thick pages and Yeah, Jeremy Dale artwork by Jeremy Dale on It's called issue 21 point five. It's sort of like in between the pages and panels of Issue 21 so a cool idea and I'm looking forward to checking this out. So thank you very much for this Brandon Next we have this from Matt Blacklage from From Canada From Canada So let's see what we got from the land up north We have a letter that written in large enough font that I can read it without my glasses Thanks for recognizing that I'm getting old. I appreciate that I don't always like the reminder that I'm getting old but sometimes Think you just can make some things a little easier And I well I'm seeing something in here that is cool right off the bat But I'm gonna read the letter first. I'm reading the letter first It says July 21st 2020 to hooded Cobra Commander 788. That's me Hi, I am Matt is Okay, to say my name big fan of the channel and say hi to other one you have oh, yes And included is Burger King black and red Cobra Commander from Valor versus Venom interesting I haven't gotten a lot of Valor versus Venom. So that is kind of a new area an unexplored area for me and before I Finish reading this before I read this out loud. I want to finish reading it really quick So it doesn't give away any of the surprise of what's in the box Let me read this really quick. Okay, I've read this letter from Matt And I won't read all of it out loud because he tells what's in the box And I want that to be a surprise for you but Matt I did read the letter It's really good to hear from you. Thank you very much. And now I'm excited to show everyone What you described in this letter. So thank you for sending this to me very very much First of all we have some cards And this is different. I now have a complete set of those The GI Joe cards that I had been you know getting packs of and opening but this is a different card set This is oh, this is like a game card or a card game set No, that's intriguing so like a you know a card game like Magic the Gathering or Cards against humanity well not a cards against humanity, but you know what I mean I'm not familiar with this. I need to learn more about this. This is so you've given me something to learn more about Thank you very much that I'm always happy to have things that give me an opportunity to learn now Check this stuff out. We've got we've got that is looks like a Cobra trooper and a Cobra commander and Another Cobra commander these some modern figures that are so Cool this now this I think if I understood you correctly. I think this one was a Burger King Exclusive If I got that wrong, I apologize, but I think that's what you wrote in here You've got look at all this stuff. Oh, look at these little guys. You got like a little Cobra trooper and then a little a Little Leatherneck those are adorable. I really wish I had the zoom on my camera Just look really close at your screen. Oh and a little Cobra commander, too. Oh, that's awesome Um No, I love these these little things. I will put at my desk At work or I have a desk here, too I might put them here as well and we've got one of these Battlefield robots. I don't know. You know what actually I haven't covered these at all on my channel yet These battlefield robots. We need to talk about those. I won't go too much into them right now because you know what? We need to talk about them in depth because these are a peculiar little thing about GI Joe that Deserves to be talked about and that we've got some missiles as well I Drop one And he's sent a Few I'll look at that. It's a It's a Cobra Law Royal Guard dig it These in shape to some good, you know, good tight joints good o-ring very nice And we've got like a figure stand his commander Got a couple other stands that would fit looks like modern figures We've got a gas can another missile and we've got an arsenal an arsenal of weapons, so That is great in case I ever get attacked by Cobra I will have weapons and I will be armed. Oh, and here's a little Yes, here's a little snake eyes. Oh, yeah, I'll go and these go with that. Okay. Cool. I figured it out Matt I figured it out and That sword looks like a shadow ninja's sword kind of I'm not sure if it is but it just kind of looks like one because It's translucent and then we have the battle files Weapons and tech from image comics And I haven't seen this before but this could be something useful to me There's the Havoc the whale the mobat The the modern Phantom X 19 Knight attack copter recon sled Yes, I'm gonna take a closer look at this because I'm always looking for new information and just new things to share About vehicles Sometimes it can even be harder to find information about vehicles than it is about figures so I'm going to Hey, and it has information about Yeah, about the individual characters weapons as well Including some actual real weapons Now we got the Cobra side. That's okay. That's really cool I'm gonna spend some time going through that and now if you're my age You know what this is, right? This is tails of G.I. Joe these were essentially reprints of the original Issues of the comic book and I think they did like the first 15 Issues of the G.I. Joe comic book series as tales of G.I. Joe And it was really great when you were younger because you could actually get them and read them Whereas the prices for the Original comic books, especially if they were first print they kind of kept going up And if you're nine or ten years old, you can't spend a fortune on comic books This gave you a chance for cover price two dollars 25 cents to actually read the first issue of Of the G.I. Joe comic book And this does include the second story hot potato Hot potato is in there. So That's awesome. I love this. This is of course the first issue first prince Is an important part of G.I. Joe history, but this is too Because a lot of us read that first issue for the first time like this So thank you match. Thank you for all of this. It's very much appreciated and thank you for watching the videos Okay, now I get to this great big box here. This is from Nicholas Gregory And I know it's some kind of custom. That's all I know about it So I'm just gonna open this guy up and see what it is And I'm gonna try to make room so I can take whatever is in here out and set it here So you can see it more easily Let's see what Nicholas sent and I didn't cut that all the way through. There we go Whatever it is. It's well packed Well packed zero chance of anything being damaged in here plenty of packing material Nicely done set that over here and then Yeah, okay. All right. I get it. I get it. So it's it's in here.

Make sure I haven't left anything in there. Yes, really well packed sir I I have to commend your packing job on this that Could probably be run over by a steamroller and it would still be fine. Well done. Okay, so Let's um, oh I see I see This makes sense now because he sent me a message on Patreon Okay sent me a message on patreon and And Let's see. What were we calling this we're calling it like the dog cat or something like that. No, that wasn't it.
