Hi everyone,
This is my first post here at hisstank, but I'm no stranger to posting in forums and whatnot, and certainly not to GI Joe stuff. I'd like to start out with some comments on posts I've read on this thread...

So... Your entire arctic team is gonna have those shrunken monkey heads or alien heads -whatever- on their uniforms? Just wondering if you thought about that.

It's the end of the silver anniversary, 25 years, so we move on as someone else said in this thread. I agree with someone else who said that it will still probably be called the 25A line until the movie characters come out, or until they maybe create some other form of new figures. As long as they are remaking any previous figure or cartoon/comic characters from the first 25 years, it'll probably stick.

As someone said, this is the one we should have had all along. It most closely resembles the card art as well.

sorry just had to vent
this is not what collecting joes is about
those around for the first few waves of the 80s, do you remember the fun, playing in the mud with them, making forts? i used to take my hyrofoil and the W.H.A.L.E and some of the smaller boats to a stream in the woods behind my house and play for hours. remember those days?
what is it now? oh hey son heres snakes eyes and timber but please don't open it or touch it because i just paid 30 dollars for it. or hey remember those vehicles i was telling you about that were coming out in the beginning of april well guess what, i know your excited but im sorry they are sold out because people got this little number and they had it pulled from the stock room days before it was supposed to be put on shelves. sorry son. here lets go buy you another buzzer.
sorry if i offend anyone,
but the toy i absolutely loved when i was a child is being released right now and i can only get half of them to share that joy with my son and nephew. flame away
I know I'm new to posting here, but I'm not new to reading the threads here at hisstank.com by far. That being said, you actually didn't say much to offend anyone, but have instead made yourself look like a jackass. You also come across as whiny. If idiotic people want to pay a premium to get something they want faster than others, then let them do it, because that kind of psudo-eliteness will be over before they get their bank statements. If people can flenagle their local Target into releasing the vehicles before the release date, then you have that power, too, if you so wish. It sounds like you're not really being honest to yourself, and consequentially not being honest to the thread. As someone said, your nephews would not have even cared about GI Joe unless you hadn't shown it to them. It's great that kids can enjoy them, too. However, this collection is for the kids in us, the ones who grew up with this stuff.
