My thoughts exactly. Hasbro has some real "geniuses"in charge of the Joe line right now . Lets see old school again please!

Well,I voted for all the girls and the cooler Cobras,like Snow Serpent. ^_^

I love seeing GI Joe in stores again!

Gotta jet,

I do too, but unfortunately, distribution is spotty at best and non-existant for the most part. Hell, we're up to wave what? And I have yet to see some of the figures at all and most of the ones I do see are 1-2 of the same in every store. Nuthin but Peg Warmers from San Diego to Victorville! Gotta love Hasbro!

As for Vehicles, I have yet to see ANY in the stores and they're already "Out of Stock" on HTS. I read a thread on JBL about how TRU is trying to purposely NOT cater to collectors....All I can say is....Job well done, guys! You, Taget and Walmart have effectively destroyed my love of collecting!

Guess it's back to paying top dollar for ARAH Molds from Master Collector!

And what the heck is this?;

$19.99 a piece for a figure, a DVD and a PIECE of a toy? So If I want the WHOLE Mass Device or the Whole Weather Dominator, I have to pay $100.00 and end up with 5 DVD's I don't want and 4 Action figures I wouldn't pay a dime for! Errrrggg!!

There's been talk of doing a Hall of Heroes thing for a few years now. But yeah, I'm guessing these will just be repackaged figures in new packaging. Star Wars does the same thing, y'know.

Well, the Mass Device was... at least it looks to scale now. All the shots i had seen leading up to the cartoon pack... I thought you got the whole thing. THey are so trying to take advantage of the collector market.

I'm pretty sure it was announced back at Toy Fair that the MASS Device would be coming in five pieces. A lot of people seemed to miss that little bit of info though... Doesn't bother me yet, because there's enough stuff in the first two sets to get me excited. I just hope the final three sets are as impressive.

At GI Joe.com you can see, General hawk with leather jacket and helmet, Bazooka, Barbecue, Black Storm Shadow, Bat and Snow Serpent. They run about 7 bucks and says it'll be out soon. We'll see. What do you think?

All that info is in there somewhere... Around the last pages

I just made my picks. I too went with the less seen figures. I think there has to be on factory out there just soley deicated to mass producing Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow figs... so Bazooka and Barbeque got a vote and of course my favorite Cobra trop the EEl got a nod. Hope to see the results!
P.S. Did anyone else linger around on the site long enough to play the Do you know your GI Joe? It was pretty funny. I got a nine out of ten, couldn't for the life of me remember which Drednock was afraid of spiders
