For all the product GI Joe is seeing right now, it doesn't even come CLOSE to the volume being produced for Star Wars and Transformers, and as the line continues to remain popular, it will only see more and more product. And the situation has arison that some fans (like myself) can no longer be completionists. I know a LOT of Star Wars fans that had to give that up years ago due to the volume being released in THAT line.
I don't know about that. Not all toy lines try to cram 25 years worth of stuff into a couple of years. I just get up to date and a lot more stuff shows up. There is not a lot of time between lines.
If you collect let's say WWE Classics they have a greater length between lines. WWE produces more perhaps but most are figures they have made a lot of meaning fans only have to pick up some now and then.
ALSO a key differance is that lines like STAR WARS are producing differant versions of characters that already have some. At least from what I see, while a lot of G I JOE stuff coming out is new characters. Off the top of my head we have Cutter, SkyDuster, Cobra Bazooka Trooper, Cobra Para Trooper, Crockmaster, Mutt and Junkyard, 2 versions of WRAITH, two exclusive 6 packs, Cobra Rattler, the Conquest, mainframe, Scrap Iron all in a short amount of time. And that's only off the top of my head so I'm sure there's more.
My point is I can see how it is overwhelming and now and then I feel that way too. But, at the same time I'm glad my collection is growing and I don't have to wait 5-10 years to get a good army going. So it's a flip of the coin wether it's good or bad.
