So my girlfriend asked me what I wanted for my 30th... with one stipulation: it had to be grossly expensive, and ultimately juvenile. We like to keep each other balanced. And I've had a lot of stress in the past year... long stretches where I haven't been able to indulge my outer child.

But I have had one desire... a want that my budget simply couldn't justify...

I wanted this:

Designed by Dr. Mindbender, built by I.R.O.N. Arms' robotics tag-team Knox and Hotwire... it's only function: Destruction of G.I.Joe!
Image

But who has the audacity to weild such an awesome weapon of terror and detruction?
Image

Oh, I think you know him.
Peek-a-boo! He sees you...

This is just one of the best toys I've ever owned. Cobra Commander agrees.

Yup I love these guys.
I have one I managed to ebay up for under 100 dollars a long time ago (it was the green one with the girl) and it really is a work of art.
The Japanese know their toys better than maybe any other country in the world 8-O it really is beautifully done and worth the asking price.

That is awesome. Makes me depressed in a way too- I just sold mine to pay down some bills.
Congrats though.

I've been seriously tempted to get one of these. Every time I see one, off to ebay I go, price checking. Can't quite seem to pull the trigger though. But after these pics I may have to finally do it.

Great gift and your girl is awesome for splurging on you like that.
