So I was out doing the rounds today and I ran across this:
http://www.target.com/Star-JUNGLE-RA...%20wars&page=1 to see the size of this in comparison check here: http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-TARGET...QQcmdZViewItem and I also ran across this: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=2659743 Which can also be seen here. http://www.mousedroid.com/archives/0.../arenapack.jpg They may not look big in the picture but these are very large packages that display very nicely and look great. Why cant the joes get some love like this. Ideas: The Arena of Sport: Half coliseum with riser on one end with cobra flags hanging dow, and a place for CC and Destro to control the contestants. It would come with Duke with mind control head band, destro, CC, and the giant, and maybe the slave girl as well. What a great place to house all your cobra troops in the stands. A Big battle with a bunch of small vehicles. This would look great in a big display box like the star wars stuff. You could have a CLAW, Ferret, trouble bubble, SNAKE armor, FANG, Sky Hawk, Armadillo, Some PAC RATS, VAMP.. Include a few figures and bam you just took all my money. Wouldnt have to include all these vehicles, maybe 2 per side. And 2 figs per side. A Big Water Battle set- Comes with night landing raft, SHARC, Water Moccasin, Devil Fish, Copperhead, Deep Six, wetsuit, torpedo, 2 eels.

Dude, I saw that Rancore this morning at my local Target, and thought to myself that if Hasbro can produce something this huge for Star Wars, why can't GI Joe get the same thing.
That Rancore is tremendous!!! |

Next time you are at Toys R Us check out the other one as I think its exclusive there.
I'm not saying I have room to display something so awesome but I would get it anyway. It would be cool to have a big battle scene in a clear box like that.

Nice, Maybe when the movie comes out we will see some larger items and more intricate packaging. Even the Indy toys got large vehicles and small play sets. And with the Hulk toys borrowing from old Joe molds, I feel that more 3.75 play sets & vehicles are coming our way. But get out of my way, I still need wave 7 & 8 and some more Indy stuff. So many customs so little time.

It is safe to say that the SW fans, who are not nearly as cheap as Joe collectors, also outnumber us by a large margin. 2 reasons why we won't see big box toys for a while.....or as mentioned, until the movie.

Oh, I am not included in that group. If it says GI Joe and is a comic or 3-3/4" scale, I am all over it. Joe collectors of my breed are clearly clearly in the minority.
