Between G.I.Joe and Legos, that may have been the catalyst behind my oldest son's decision to become an Engineer in the Army.

That is a great story - I hope my son has the same interest in Joes that I did. I suppose alot of it hinges on whether or not new product is released. I wish i held onto my VvV and Spy Troops stuff to give to him. I think I will end up buying some of those figures for him since they are still cheap on the aftermarket. He's not even two yet so I am getting a little ahead of myself
That's awesome that your son is an Army Engineer!

Yea most of my collection is ARAH vintage run up to the 2005 re-releases of the original o-ring figures. Alot of my vintage vehicles are the 25th anniv and above line. I do like the new mold figures alot and will probably reacquire some more but be alot more specific in what characters I target.
Sometimes I question why I am still into GI Joes and collect them. I have gone through periods like you did where you stated that collecting just didn't "do it" for you anymore (for lack of a better term). My collection has ebbed and flowed since my senior year of HS in 2000 - priorities change etc but I always found myself coming back to the figures throughout the 2000s and 2010s. I just get a big kick out of being able to acquire figures I may not have had as a kid or I had but traded away/lost. I don't know if it is cathartic or crazy lol.
I can't wait to see what else you are going to post to your IG account. I vaguely remember the Bivouac site and when you mentioned Evilface it really jostled my memory. I used to get lost in one sites diostories - It may have been on the Bivouac (or generalsjoes...i can't remember), but they were really fantastic and well done dios with good storylines. I look back at that time with alot of fondness.
Also sorry if I am hijacking this thread.
