These brick sets came out when I was not collecting G.I. Joe, so I didn't buy any. I did drool over them on the toy aisles, especially on the clearance aisles at the end. They nearly sucked me back into collecting G.I. Joe. Unfortunately, I was at that point in life where my wants were changing and my wallet couldn't accommodate everything so I passed.
I don't regret that, but I have thought about trolling E-bay or other sources and buying some of these sets because I still find them awesome.
I really wish Kre-o or Lego would be utilized to do something similar today. Currently I'm buying both G.I. Joe and Lego in moderation. Sets like these would easily fit into that moderation point and be on my buy list.
I'm currently loving the Lego Board Game line up. It is awesome. Typing this, thinking about Built-T-Rule, I now am fantasizing a Lego board game. Microfigure versions of the characters and a set objective similar to Minotarous or Magma Monster. That would be awesome, but that is a digression.
Back to BTR, I know why collectors don't like these figures. The "Lego bumps" are ugly, but they do look like fun. I wish a younger me had not felt "too old" for these when they came out. He would have loved them!
