Wreckage was on my list from the start. My first draft of the storyline for this set had the Joes infiltrating a Cobra training camp in the Louisiana bayou. Wreckage was accompanied the team to blow up the compound. When the storyline was revised to a downed Cobra satellite, it still made sense to include Wreckage. If the Joes fail to secure the satellite, they would have to blow it up to prevent Cobra from retrieving it.

For this project, I wanted to emulate the type of offerings that the GIJCC put out every year. I had a few criteria:

- Lots of paint apps
- No (or few) modified parts
- Weapons and accessories are all (mostly) from Hasbro's Joe line
- Vehicles are all from Hasbro's Joe line

I really wanted this set to "feel" like an authentic Club set. I pretty much stayed within these self-imposed guidelines. I only broke these rules a couple of times. My justification was that the Club has been tooling up new parts (on a limited basis) in the last few years.
