The artwork of the cover box was by Larry Selman and was commissioned exclusively for the Collector's Club. It was only made available through the Official GI JOE Collector's Club and to attendees of the http://www.gijoeclub.com 2010 GI Joe Convention held in Providence, Rhode Island USA.

2010 Escape from Spy island - all pieces
THE MISSION
Over the years, the GI jOE Adventure Team has embarked on a number of top secret spy missions to remote tropical islands. Although the coordinates of each island were different, the "Spy Islands" always seemed inexplicably, topographically similar.
Why do all of these locations seem to be the "same"? What is producing the thermal signature in the lagoon causing it to boil at times?
There appears to be a volcano on the island, but, for all the heat signature, there doesn't seem to be any normal volcanic activity. What evil secret could this "Spy Island" have?
GI jOE is dispatched with his latest crate of mission gear to investigate and possibly take care of the problem.
What will he find? Will he be able to escape? As the Commander always says, "This will be a tough assignment!"
Can our GI jOE "handle it"? Now you can decide!
