Brandon's a long time supporter of the channel. We very much appreciate Brandon And let's see what Brandon sent here This is a card Let me make sure there's nothing too personal inside. I don't want to give anyone's personal information So let me read through this real quick. This does have a little bit of personal information So I won't read it word for word, but I will say Congratulations Brandon first of all, I hope that is still working out for you and thank you very much for your long support of the channel Thank you for thinking of me Also, I want to remind everyone that if you include a letter or any writing with whatever you send in I do have a folder that I keep all of those in and I do keep those forever none of those get thrown away now Brandon sent this and Brandon also sent this so this is from the same person And I'm going to check this out. Let's see what Brandon sent in addition to the letter and we have Some bubble wrap I can always use more bubble wrap very useful and we have What looks like another envelope let's This is this is a cute one. It has a little puppy dog that says miss you so much. Let me see Okay, there is some more writing on the inside again, I will read this to myself before I read it on the air I don't want to divulge anyone's personal information So let me read this for a moment and then we'll move on and see what's in the box There's a little bit of personal information in here not too bad, but I will say Brandon Congratulations on completing 1984 storm shadow and 1985 snake eyes and 1983 scarlet well done I hope the job is going well And you mentioned here the possibility of meeting at a GI Joe convention That is also something that I'm trying to do this year In fact, I would like to go to Joe Fest in Augusta, Georgia this year to do that. I need your help I do have a go fund me for that I will include the link for that here as well inside the box we have I can see right away We have some Valor versus Venom some valid Valor versus Venom cards It looks like Duke and Cobra commander And inside it looks like we have Duke and Cobra commander now I've got to admit this is new to me. This is a bit of a blind spot in my Collecting I don't think I have any Valor versus Venom. I try to focus on vintage GI Joe I've got some modern figures like 25th anniversary and up But this is fascinating to me because I don't really know very much about it So thank you Brandon. This is an opportunity for me to Explore a bit of GI Joe that I am less familiar with so that's two cards from Brandon that I will keep forever I may be buried with them. I don't know so let's move to the next one and this one is from Marcus R. Sweeney. This is Ryan Sweeney, right? If I recall your name correctly So mr. Sweeney sends this and I am opening the box for it right now and Inside the box there are I can tell This is classified items GI Joe classified series and number one we have awesome We have the special mission Cobra Island beach head this guy all of these Cobra Island set GI Joe classified figures were exclusive to targets and a real pain to find at the time They were released there were so difficult to find that I really did not have very much fun Searching for them. So the fact that somebody who was thoughtful enough to send one Means that somebody did go through the trouble of searching for one of these and actually picked one up and Sent it to me. So that is so awesome. Thank you very much, and we've got one more and this one is Yeah This one this is a view This is our tan This is a great figure. This is a really nice figure. I love it And I'm a fan of Zartan going all the way back to 1984 So these are beautiful. I thank you very much Ryan and thank you for your long support It's been noticed and very much appreciated. This one is from the same person. This is also from so we're doubling up here We got two from Brandon and we got two from Ryan And we have a letter. We have a letter from Ryan It says happy holidays. Happy new year. Nice GI Joe logo there beautiful cool sticker That's really awesome. Now as with Brandon's Letter is card. I will read through this real quick Make sure there isn't any personal information on here before reading it out loud. Thank you Ryan for this letter It doesn't really have personal information, but it does spoil what's in the box and I want you guys to be surprised I know what it is now. So thank you Ryan Thank you for this and thank you again for your long support You've been around for a long time and I really appreciate you being here So thank you for that and thank you for this I'm going to Apparently fling this across the room and you're gonna love this it. Yes, it is another classified item But it's it's a beaut look at this Yeah, that that is snake eyes with timber what are we calling this the snake eyes in timber alpha commandos This is one that I was wanting to get my hands on I'm very curious how well they did timber looks like we have two heads for the wolf and Lots of weapons for snake eyes including his signature Uzi submachine gun Really nice really nice. I am very eager to open this up and take a close look at it I'm not gonna open up yet. I'm gonna I'm gonna savor this But thank you so much Ryan and thank you for just being you and thank you for being here I am going to go with this one next and oh, I Apparently didn't cut this one the one I forgot to cut. Let's let's carefully Cut into that and try not to cut whatever is inside. This is a heavy box. This one is from James Thompson Thank you very much James There we go. All right And inside the box. We have a brief letter. Let me again Reveal this real quick. Okay. No personal information and no real spoilers in here So I'll just say I'll read this aloud. It says ACC 788 first welcome back second I wanted to send these to you when you said you were going through issues. Hope you hope they cheer you up Last god bless Merry Christmas. Happy New Year James Thompson PS a few issues are missing. Sorry. Well, it's fine. You do you don't have to apologize for anything You're sending me stuff. I I'm extremely grateful for you know, everything that you do and I can tell and this is why it was Heavy is it's comic books. It's comic books. Oh, look at this. Okay, not only is this comic books this is This is the IDW GI Joe series I have I think pretty much a complete run of the Marvel comics GI Joe series, but I had not anywhere close to caught up with the IDW series and These are these are these are the two sixties and Yeah, there's more. Oh, there's like huge stacks of them. Hold on. I Don't want to mess these up Yeah Silent option Looks like a four issue mini series and Let's fly this out of the way and we've got another bag that seems to have more in them This is exciting. This is exciting. This is exactly why I should be wearing my my professor grandpa glasses So I can actually see and read what's what's on these covers. Oh Nice nice nice nice. This is that's a really cool cover For issue number 273 Nice team shot there Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. So these are in the 270s And I don't know if you know you might know the GI Joe Marvel comics series ended on issue number 155 but Larry Hama the writer picked up that series again and has been doing it for IDW and The here are the early 200s some more early 200s and And some 220s 230s 240s Yeah, I'm I understand maybe there are some issues missing but holy moly, you know what this means It means This it means I have some reading to do I am I am not familiar I am not caught up at all with the IDW series and one of the reasons that I hadn't got it caught up is One thing some of the comics are difficult to find locally and you know ordering them would be Expensive, but here we go. It may not be the complete series, but it's a whole lot more complete than I had so James all I can say is my deepest thanks for these. I Will be reading these a lot. I want to get caught up I want to get caught up on all on the fun I want to get caught up on the party that everybody else has been having without me because I didn't have the issues Well now I got issues. Thank you very much James And the last box is for another longtime supporter of the channel and friend Byron Kellogg And thank you for this Byron Byron you've already done so much for me So the fact that you thought about me and sent something to me I'm just very grateful. So thank you very much and I hope things are going well with you I sincerely do But let's see what Byron sent.
