I am interested in knowing other peoples thoughts on the 25th anniversary GI Joe line. I for one have enjoyed collecting them. Its been tough to find any of them lately. Sounds silly, but Ive always enjoyed hunting for them.
I really enjoy this line but as normal hasbro has put a limit on which areas you can get them ans since i live in canada i can only buy them only line or if tru gets them by chance.
I like them, the detail most of all. Im not sure how I feel about the no o-ring design though. You can find them here {NC} if you know where to look but they very in price severely...One store...26.99 another 19.99. All I have right now are the Joe 5 pack & the Cobra 5 packs. I saw a 5 pack troop builder online the other day...not sure if Ill pick that one up though. I want the Hooded Cobra Commander...but I havent picked one up yet. The only one I dont like though, is that Leopard outfit Destro....man, Destro WOULD NOT have done himself like that.
I wish It was easy to buy them in Chicago I lucked up on A few. Are they going to make the rest of the dreads? noticed on the wave three figures there are more grayed out figure pics
I like the new look but I don't like that half of them can not sit in a vehicle properly. Some are too easy to come apart which my 3 year old has proven (one can never be too young to play GI JOE) and lastly...the weapons seem weak compared to what they used to have.
I do like the new line. The detail is great. It's unfortunate that Hasbro is being so stingey in supplying them to the local stores. Most of my purchases have been on-line. E-Bay is a great source for them but some of the seller are 5 cans short of a six pack with regards to the prices they are asking. Why is it that a majority of the listings, list their items as RARE? There are so many auctions for the same items and there are many site outside of E-Bay that carry the same items. If you fellow collectors are looking for other sources for Joe figures, try toyrocket.com. I have purchaes a few things from them. Decent prices, items are in good condition and they have great cust. services. bigbadtoystore.com is another good site.
I have a hard time finding anything but Cobras near me. My problem with buying online is even when I find a decent price on the figures the shipping is outrageous.
