This week we are joined by HissTank.com honcho Fran (aka Destro) to talk to him about the New Jersey Collectors' Convention and learn a little history on how the HissTank community got its start. Its an interesting interview - you should listen! Due to a slow news week, the team discussed many points of view while trying to answer Tim from KC's question about Hasbro distribution. Speaking of distribution, apparently it is working in some areas as Greg, Justin and Gary review each one of the new Renegades figures with the general consensus being that these are AWESOME! Gary encourages a thread on HissTank concerning wanting a Sideshow Navy SEAL Torpedo figure - how sweet would that figure be!? Oh, and the Hits for Tots campaign rolls on at full speed. We'll be making some less fortunate children and the US Marine Corps very happy this holiday season!


Also this week the show announces not one but TWO contests. Here are the details:


First, from HalloweenCostumes.com, we have a $75 gift certificate for a lucky person who "Likes" our Facebook page. To enter, hit up our Facebook page at What's on JOE Mind? A fancast about the world of GI Joe | Facebook and click the LIKE button at the top of the page. It's just that simple! If you have already "LIKED" our page, do not worry, you are already entered, so you are good to go!! Be sure to tell your other friends who like Joe! We will pick a winner next week!


Second, from friend of the program Gary Head, we have not one but TWO cases of Joes for a lucky winner who is NOT located in North America. That's right, no one from the US or Canada is eligible. This is an international care package consisting of 1 case of Wave 1 and 1 case of Wave 2! All you have to do is answer these 4 easy questions about the show and email them back to us at whatsonjoemind@gmail.com. A winner will be pulled in a blind draw from all those who submit correct answers. Here are the FOUR questions:


1.) Fictionally speaking, on Chuck's Facebook Fan Page - What the Chuck?, Chuck is "BIG" in what country?


2.) FILL IN THE BLANK: Justin just reviewed the most recent convention set. The name of the set is Mission {BLANK}.


3.) THIS IS A TWO PART QUESTION. PART 1: What was the last international country that Greg visitied and in turn was imprisoned and later rescued by Chuck with his Snake Eyes sword? PART 2: What was Greg eating and drinking when Chuck found him in jail?


4.) In what country was Gary in when he watched the 2011 Cricket World Cup?


Good luck to all that enter. We'll be sure to post everything again on our Facebook page for max exposure. Next week will be a fun show as we will be joined by Kevin Watts. Don't let this show slip you by though - go ahead, start listening will ya?
