Just FYI, Urban Saboteur DID make that statement before his "Rampage" (This is a little good natured ribbing, not a flame attack...I just know you can't see my chubby lop-sided smirk as I write this!! )

I agree with you whole heartedly U.S. . It seems like we've kinda polarized here....Love the 25th or hate them, seems to be NO middle ground. (Kinda reminds you of S6, huh? ) But that's cool....like was said, we all have a right to our opinion.

What I DON'T like, and again, this is MY OPINION, is people who say "Yeah, I don't like (Sigma Six or the 25th) I just buy them to keep the line alive...I mean, what can you do?" And then Chastise me for not jumping on the Hasbro Bandwagon and accuse me of not being a REAL fan! (This doesn't happen on THISforum, but it has happened to me! )

It's like Reality TV....YOU CAN STOP WATCHING IT !! (OR IN THIS CASE, STOP BUYING CRAP!!) I hear people say all the time "Reality TV sucks, but it's all that's on". Well...quit watching!! If you don't, you add to the neilson ratings of who's watching, the @$$-Clowns in holllywood see the numbers and cancel good shows to put more crap on, because they think that's what YOU want!!!

Don't like the 25th? Don't buy it! Don't do it just for the sake of the line, I'd rather see it die strong than go down the 1992-1994 path it did last time, jumping on every desperate bandwagon trying to boost sales! The more you buy the crap they put out, the more they say "Eh....fixing the 25th line will cost thousands and take weeks away from productivity, let's just keep making B.S. promises and shoving sub-standard crap down their throats!" I'm so sick of seeing hasbro do things like when they cancelled wave 7.5 of Spytroops with the cool viper/alley viper 2 pack and rushed to VvsV and had Coil Crusher/Wild Bill warming the pegs in TRU and whining about slow sales!

I got back into GI joe again big time in 2001, and after about 2 weeks of being on the forums, I KNEW exactly what collectors would pay for....and what would make money....are you telling me their harvard educated sales team isn't as smart as a Marine with a Degree from a state school? What a bunch of idiots.....

I HONESTLY think they just wanna run the line into the ground so they can go back to making money on Star Wars and Transformers!

Do you know how hard it was to pass up a "Cobra Legions" 5 pack to keep my integrity? I could have used the excuse, "I just wanted to see what they were like" but I used that excuse for the first two packs.....no more..I'm only gonna buy single packs and only if they are new Characters or new updates (like Serpentor in the DD attire) .
