I was looking on Gijoeclub.com today at the 25th style Adv Team figs and even though i have given up collecting that style of fig I am kind of thinking of getting this set as it will be a small set that would be easy to complete and display. Anyone else getting it?

I doubt it, for a fig alone the club is getting in the $20 range, way too much for me, with the vehicles and such I am betting its in the $40-$50 range.

Can't imagine why they keep complaining that they don't make enough is sales

FOR THE BATTLE BLITZ, I mean this version doesn't appear to have the novelty of the Battle Luge guy, WTF? Weren't they giving those away at Dollar Generals a few years ago?

Wow, apparently they think they poop gold over there.

I'm sorry but I'm not into Adventure Team. The 25th sculpts make it tempting, but I'm just not interested in that team.

However, if they ever released the Intruders, the original foe of the Joes.. remember.. the "strong men from another world"? In the 3 3/4" scale, then I probably will say yes.

Midget cavemen from space who hug people to death. GI JOE's greatest enemy!

The other set they might make is the sea adventurer with that repaint Jonny Quest sub (Cobra Mantis). That's if these first sets sell well (so, no Sea Adventurer ).

So they want people to pay for recolored clearance asile items from 7 years ago. And that maneating plant they made for a 12" con exclusive a few years ago.

And when you think about Mattel's Master of the Universe series, $20 figures that are often at least partially new tooling and substantially larger, the GI JOE Collector's Club's stuff seems overpriced. Yeah, one's Mattel, the actual company, and one's the official fan club...I don't care.

I have a feeling these won't sell. Generally speaking most people into the 25th line are either fly by night collectors whom got into the line because of Nostalgia and it was the hot collectible for awhile or collectors who embrace whatever new style comes out shunning whatever they were championing as the "great new evolution in G.I. Joe"

Outside of Doctor Venom (now with a dumbass backstory!) I can't see much of this having a lot of appeal to most collectors. There's not a lot of overlap between 3 3/4 and 12 inch collectors. They'd probably do better if they did Venom, AT Commander and then popular media only characters in the vintage O ring style.

Whatever, when they announce they'll make more sets and then be all "Whoa whoa whoa buddy, YOU didn't buy enough"

I totally agree with Rol here! if they were o rings i would nab em and most people would too! I as well feel like one of those fly by nighters because I keep thinking about selling off all my 25th anniversary toys! just so I can get into the convention exclusives and the international stuff! I mean do I really need the adventure team in a style i really dont care about or shot pictures of much?
