yo i jus started collectin these havent touched a joe since 89 90 91, an seen these an im 30 single an able to buy, when i was a kid i could not, was very low income, an few years ago i seen pics of old joes in diorammas, i was like im doin it, so bam thats how it is, army builders aint a prob, you reg collectors jus need 1 an 2 the most, we are displayin em in diorammas, they look sick set up. like a museum or a pic, it brings them to life when you put them in a situation. plus we sink lots of money in this line for buildin, if we didnt the damn line wouldnt be so successful. the real prob is, the dirtbags that go buy up the stuff an turn around an sell it. an your left wit no choice but to buy it. they are the prob, not the guy who wants 50 troopers, the guy who wants troopers wants em, thats why they were made for the guy who wants it, not the guy who buys em to sell em for profit. thats illegal. an dirty. matter of fact i was gonna go for that scalper figure thats on ebay jus for the fact that i know what it stands for, them homo's need real jobs. go scalp bra's or somethin. army buildin is normal. , sometimes i think pple look at me like im a scalpin fag, cus i buy what i want, but i buy it for me not to sell shit, i end up wit a double on accident cus it came in a lot on ebay at a good deal, i still cant get my self to sell it to my boy even if i have 4 of em. so its hard to part wit shit i dont even need, jus cus i paid for it on a credit card, an to sell it to someone for what i bought itfor would be foolish cus i still pay for it in the long run so i say f it i'll keep it.

I think folks should not put down what other people do in there hobbies. After all isn't collecting about doing what make you happy. I army build because it fun. Too bad one can only army build well with Cobra. :(

I rember when I was a chap I was wanted enough guys to fill all the slots, on my vehicles. Which back then wasn't much. My Cobra motor pool had a 1 Stinger, 2Asp, 1 Hiss, 1 Fang, 1 Rattler, 1 Moray and a ferret. I would tell my mom I need bad guys to shoot from the side of em. At the time my troops consist of 2 CG's, 3 officers 1 Stinger Driver, 1 Hiss Driver any were from 8-10 troops and a Viper pilot. The next year Gold Circle wich is now Target had a sale 3-for $5. I stocked on vipers (12) while completing the 86 run.
The point is that is what these guys are for or there would have seperate names. The only thing that bothers me is people who army build and leave them on card now that is crazy. |

Though it can make finding troop figures hard at retail *cough, cough, BATS*, I don't mind army building. I'd rather see an army builder's pics of their awesome collection all taken out of the box and enjoyed rather than up on ebay/online at ridiculous prices.
But as it was stated here, Hasbro really needs to produce more army builders, and have them available in 10 packs online, like the Star Wars fans get with their Storm Troopers. I've e-mailed them numerous times about it, but I usually get a canned response. This last time I e-mailed them they told me they are trying, and check out the TRU multi packs for army building...which would be GREAT, if it wasn't for the packed in Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, and (upcoming) Firefly. |

If I could afford it, I would army build. Not at the expense of a kid or another collector as was mentioned earlier, but if there are pegs full of vipers why not buy them if you can? You have the right to buy whatever quantity you want and enjoy your hobby however you want.
