And I suppose a 25A body style wouldn't scream COLLECTOR IF the Con Sets are seen as Collector Items.


For someone like myself, the con sets are a chance to pick up some new and (mostly) cool figures. But then again, I've never been a Joe collector per se, but more a Joe fan. I never leave anything in the package, I buy toys to use. And I'll happily modify the rarest figure if I think it needs it, because the resale value means nothing to me because I'll never sell my Joes. I don't automatically buy the con sets just because of what they are - if they don't appeal to me, then I don't bother with 'em. All I know for sure is that if they ever went to 25th style, it wouldn't matter how cool the concept was, I'd pass on them.
