i've only picked up one ROC figure and it was my sons request using his gift card so, so far i have not spent anything on ROC.
i liked the gi joe movies, i don't buy the movie figures. i liked the gi joe movie, i don't buy the movie figures. as others have mentioned, there just isn't any emotional connection to this line therefore not compelling enough for me to pay the crazy prices for them. i do see a couple that i will end up getting at some point like the new snow serpent and strato/air viper but for the most part, no thanks. it's really just a big circle jerk of a few figures. grey viper, black viper, red viper, snake eyes this, snake eyes that, desert duke, duke with a donut (joking). it really got annoying to see the rehash of 25th figures and i'm already even more annoyed at seeing countless variations of the same figures with the ROC line. by xmas we will probably see back yard barbque figures.
the vehicles are equally uninspiring for me, and ofcourse, the price points make it even easier to walk away. granted, if the prices had stayed the same, i would likely have a couple buy now but right now, no thank. i'll wait for xmas sales, clearance sales, etc.
the tru figure sales have been very tempting, too bad they never really have anything worth getting. maybe next year.
i think i'll just scour the buy/sell/trade forum and ebay for loose 25th/me figures.
like others, i never intended to be a collector. i just saw the 25th line and got hooked. i now have an army of figures and vehicles that i'm not always sure i know what to even do with but just looking at them all gives me a smile. i get to watch the vintage toons with my kids, mock play room battles, back yard custom builds, etc. times i know i will always remember more than the live action movie.
