For me, it was when the special series figures came out. Tiger Force, etc. The figures also started getting unfamiliar. I couldn't associate them with the series anymore.
Oh and girls.

In 2000 I sold my card collection and started buying back the G.I Joe collection I had as a kid. | |

2. Transformers was more attractive to me.
3. By '89, I was in 6th grade, my interest for TF and Joes slowly died as I moved on to other interest such as music, skateboarding, and the pretty girls.

Just the thought of "Robo-Joe"...

Lost interest again when Sigma 6 replaced Valor Vs Venom. (Yes there was DTC but it was not the same having to get it online or having to depend on TRU's crappy distribution)
