He then started to pick them apart and see what was wrong with them.
I then began to think. There are plenty of issues especially for the price. On a some of the figures the paint applications are not so great, some joints are loose, a lot of repaints, extreme reuse of parts, same characters are made over and over again, the helmets sometimes don't fit on the head properly, and in some cases they break easily. Don't get me wrong I love Joes just as much as the next guy and spend ALL of my spare cash on Joes. Personally I don't think they're overrated but there's some issues with them. What do you think....
Are GI Joes overrated?
He also might have wanted that DVD set and was hoping he would turn you off so you would put it down and he could run maniacally to the register to buy it.
