rnrhero I'm Really Cool. Offline --> Posts: 1,162 --> Join Date: Apr 2005	Anyone plan on getting the Adventure Team 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? __________________ "Better to fight for something than live for nothing." -- George S. Patton My Flickr My Want List My Photography Page

Can't imagine why they keep complaining that they don't make enough is sales __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

Weren't they giving those away at Dollar Generals a few years ago? Wow, apparently they think they poop gold over there. __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

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. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

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.
