Welcome to the United States of Geekdom, the podcast that talks about what makes us geeks go tick!  We bring you this, our 61st episode in which we discuss the lengths that Hasbro went in the 1980s to introduce new characters to their toy lines of G.I. Joe and Transformers up to and including brutally killing off some of the more beloved characters in their toy lines and the repercussions that followed as a result.  We also do a non spoiler review of G.I.Joe Retaliation!  Enjoy!  Thanks for listening!  Stay Geeky!
