I guess what I am saying is instead of people complaining just don't buy, but if you are going to complain explain why you find so many flaws. It is easy to simply say, "I don't like it". Well instead tell us why you don't.
Kids of today are different, but that does not mean they are stupid either. Personally I think it boils down to the company.. its what THEY Want to produce.. they dont have fun recreating the old stuff because its already been done.
I wasn't directing my comment directly at you Samantha, I just meant in general.
But mainly I don't like the ROC stuff Not because they have lights and missiles.. but because the Lights and Missiles make no sense.. No Jet Ever has has missiles shooting out of its engines... plus they are way too small.. I know Joe was never truly 1/18th scale.. but man this stuff is like Zartans Swamp Skier Small.. it could never actually work.
When I was a Kid I knew GI Joe was not 100% accurate, but it was accurate enough.. it had enough realism mixed with enough suspension of disbelief to make it work really great.. right down to all the NO STEP stickers and Warning Labels on the engines.
The toys were of higher quality, they were more like putting together awesome models and I think that helped with the play value.. if you put something together you had more of a connection to it.. by putting everything together for the kids.. its just a piece of plastic.
That's just a few of my opinions but you get the picture.
