This post is probably coming way too late to be of any help, but since I am still actively collecting Sideshow Gijoe I thought it might be of interest to others starting out with a collection.
1. It can be addictive. I was initially just going to buy the first Snake Eyes,,,and of course, Storm Shadow. But that Beachhead is kind of cool, and look at the ninja figures. You get my drift. I now have all but 3 of the entire line.
2. You will notice that the later issued figures don't have nearly as many accessories as the early ones. I assume to save money for the company, though it doesn't appear these savings are passed on to the consumer based on the prices.
3. They can be pricey, especially on the secondary market. Since I display my figures I have been buying preowned but complete figures on eBay that are generally less expensive than those being sold as brand new.
Anyway, I hope there are still others out there, like me, suffering from Sideshow Gijoe addiction and trying to unconvingly explain to their wives that the number of figures only appears to be continually increasing.
