Susan G Komen Pink Hiss tank.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, check out what Fire_Fly has done to commemorate.
But why read what I have to say, follow the link below to see why and what Fire_Fly has done.
Make sure to bid and support!
From Fire_Fly:
“The idea of this hiss tank came me to the other day when I remembered that October was breast cancer awareness month!
I lost my grandmother last year, and before she died she had breast cancer and lost one of her breasts because of it! She didnt die because of the breast cancer, but many men and women have lost their lives to this disease. So I decided to make this tank to remember all the people who have fought breast cancer, and the families who have relatives that are fighting (or have fought) breast cancer…. This particular tank is being given to a friend of mine whose wife has cancer as well.
I will be making 2 more and putting them on ebay for sale with all winnings going to the Susan G. Komen Breast cancer movement. I will post the auctions here on the site and please bid what you can to help fight breast cancer. Thank you all for reading.
As some of you might know, in 1992 Susan G Komen made her dying sister a promise.
Fulfilling the Promise:
‘Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Susan G. Komen is the boldest community fueling the best science and making the biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested almost $2 billion to fulfill our promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries.‘“

This is going out to everyone who subscribed to the GI Joe Collectors’ Club Figure Subscription Service.
If any of you have moved since you placed your subscription order it’s time for you to update your new address!
Please click here to log in and check your account!
We are anticipating that the first two figure shipment will ship before Christmas so that means you have until December 2nd to update your address. After that date, we do not guarantee that your shipment will go the correct address.
In order to get all of the orders out the door in one week, we need to start the printing and prep for all of the orders we received starting on December 3rd.
Provided that our shipment from China is not delayed, we are working on getting all orders out the door before Christmas. We will hopefully start sending them out the week before Christmas.
For those of you who have purchased on the installment plan, we anticipate that the second billing will take place in mid-January so we will give you updates as soon as we know the final schedule.
Thanks for all of your support and we hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season!

Ages 25 & Up has come to OG13, and now is your chance to follow the historic comic from issue 01!
From 1337W422102:
“Hey, fellas. (Evenin’, ladies. How are you?)
I’m 1337W422102, pronounced “leet warrior,” but friends understandably call me Numbers. I enjoy kicking ass, chewing bubblegum, and wishing that I had Jessie’s girl.
For about four years now, I’ve been making a weekly online comic using (primarily) G.I. Joe figures, and I thought I’d bring it here. Basically, it started as a way for me to show my friends, “Hey, look what I finally found up here in Canada!” when the 25th Anniversary figures started, and slowly became a way for a broke-ass student to justify toy purchases. (“I’ll just make a story about this character in the comic, yeah, that’s it!”)
At any rate, join me as I spam up this thread with my comics, which, I assure you, get better as time goes on.
Here’s the first story arc, which ran from August 23 to September 12, 2008. So buckle up and get ready to hit 88 MPH. Dig in and let me know what you think.”
We have so many outstanding customizers on the site, and see so many great figures. It is nice to be able to display a bit of love for the vehicles as well. Nath_1977 does such outstanding work. Small images are displayed here (you tease!). Click the URL below to see Nath’s sub-forum, and check out the history behind the customs, as well as a plethora of full-sized images!

Today we were able to send $650.00 to Alcinde4’s daughter – thanks fully to the generosity of OG13 members.
A word from Alcinde4:
I don’t even know where to begin… You and Anthony, and the rest of the OG’s have touched my family in an unforgettable way. I let my daughter read this message you sent me (I’m so ecstatic that she’s even able to read it), and she just cried, and cried, and cried. My family is extremely thankful and humbled by the immense outpouring of support you all have shown.
This type of kindness will resonate with us forever. I am, and forever will be an OG13.
Sincerest, most gracious regards,
Alcinde4
Darkwise and I would like to extend a very heart-felt thank you to every member who donated to the cause, or who just dropped Alcinde4 a line in his thread to show support. Your generosity never fails to amaze.
