Like for fun, or use of the good old imagination? Could be vehicles, other figures, weaponry?
Or you may be the collector that keeps JOE separate from all else.
But what do you mix in for fun and imaginary expansion?

I have motorcycles, some other off-brand vehicles, pieces from Indy stuff, Halo, Elite Forces stuff, The Corps figs, but only their weapons, pieces from pirates of the Carribbean, evil dead, star wars (Some of the smaller blasters fit great into the holsters like Lt. Falcon's open one)

I have had some fun with the Indiana Jones figs. I pretend IJ is a scientist that COBRA is after, that has been fun.
Otherwise, when I am taking pictures, I like to snap some photos of the Joes intermixed with modern military like BBI, 21st Century, etc.
For example:

I never really cared for the Hasbro vehicles, sorry the HISS tank just doesn't look to combat ready! (hope that doesn't get me kicked from HISSTank.com!) I like to display my joes with a
bbi M1A1 Abrams,
the Cobra's are crusing in a 21st century M41 Walker Bulldog,
bbi SWAT hummer that looks pretty good for Cobras,
21st Century Bradley,
got Wild Bill set up in a bbi Apache.
The Cobra Night Watch are flyin' high in a bbi little bird,
Cobra anti-aircraft are using a 21st Century M16 Halftrack with quad 50 cal and M17 2-Ton trailer w/ quad mounted 50's,
haven't quite figured out what to do with the bbi black hawk but I can't wait to get a bbi FA-18!!

dude, you have a sick setup! i wish i had space and $$$ to do stuff like that.
I love setting up huge dioramas! I used to set up huge battles with all my stuff (ninja turtles, joes, ghostbusters, army men etc...) in the living room when i was a kid. Great memories!
p.s. i love the 3 rd pic where CC is picking the robots he wants. Classic

I don't really mix my figures with other figures but will introduce scale appropriate pieces sometimes. I snatched up the Indiana Jones Ark of the Covenant with the quickness. It makes a great plot device.

I have the awesome marauder accessories, a Corps vehicle or 2, and IJ German motorcycle, a couple Maisto motorcycles, whatever I can make work.

I got them mixed in with forces of valor bravo team figures and hardware, BBI figures, Sub5 agents with annika 2.0 bodies. and 2 terrorists I got from small joes that are contracting for CC. I also use a few Halo 3 figures as super duper special forces suites the joes would "jump in to" sometimes.

Anything in 1/18 scale is fair game for mixing.
Indy meets up with 25th Redstar and companions trying to take the Ark & Stargate.
Raiden(custom) vs Red Ninja's
Moon Knight vs Red Ninja's
Deadpool(custom) vs Mandalorian Warriors
Knight Shadow Batman(microman custom) vs BAT's
Quick shots can bee seen here,

My universe is Cobra vs the Empire. So imagine tons of Cobra Figures and Storm Troopers/Clone Troopers battling it out for control of the world or galaxy. I grew up loving the bad guys what can I say. Joes and the Rebellion figures are usually a side note causing problems, but never a serious threat. Cobra is the dominant force. I end up using large Figures or mech from other toylines as personal guards for CC. Gundams/Xeon Resident Evil Figures, MK Goro & Ninjas etc...
Rename the line Cobra and I'd be happy.

And WWE build n' brawlers for USO events. Joes need RnR too.

Pretty much anything within scale: Indiana Jones, Elite Force, Corps!, and I have a Bigfoot action figure that sometimes comes out to get in on the action.

DUST! I mix dust into my Joe collection. I dont have much choice in the matter, it just happens.

So far I've only mixed a few things in. From Star Wars I have Senior Ranking Officers Duke on the Deluxe Darth Vader figure's medical table, and EV-9D9's control console.
From the Indiana Jones line so far I've given Cobra the creates that the figures come in.
I've been thinking of getting a Russian soldier or two to support Red Star, and if I get the Cargo Truck from the Indiana Jones like I'm going to give Cobra the crate that comes with that. I have been thinking of getting a few Corps vehicles as well.
I don't know if I'll ever mix in other figures though that aren't G.I. Joe beyond that guy from M.A.S.K. that's coming in a future wave.
