It's the return of Master Builder Magnus to GI Joburg. This time we have a guided visual tour of his Lego GI Joe creations. Ravens, Skystrikers, BUGGs, and something on a scale so massive you're going to have to see it to believe it. So we welcome you to take a gander at the YouTube release of this podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSUhAwhzP74 If you want to luxuriate over the creations at your leisure, Magnus has all of them chronicled in his Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/78224984@N00/albums/page3 And if you want to see the most awesome GI Joe R/C conversions around (a Warthog that maneuvers in water?
