The Year of Joe - May 2020

The year of Joe continues even during a pandemic. This month was a bit light (except for the Thunderbolt) but more on that in a bit.

I was out of work for three months and quarantined. So watched my budget. Thankfully started an awesome new job this week with a one mile commute. Well, once we go back to the office.

I managed to sneak out to Tosche Station yesterday to ensure I had some figures for May. Managed to grab Roadblock and then the original three Dreadnoks: Torch, Ripper and Buzzer. And the MOBAT tank.  I've had the MOBAT before. Love that tank. Remember getting it for my birthday in 1983?

And here is the Toys R Us exclusive A10 Thunderbolt with Hawk and Ace. While not a "vintage" plane from 82-87 that I am focused on, a real depiction of the A10 Thunderbolt/Warthog is pretty damn cool. Didn't know this existed until a month ago.

This still in a sealed box but I intend to open it soon.

And if you want to know what the A10 is really like, read these awesome articles from Ben Thompson's BadAssOfTheWeek site.
