I voted 2012. I loved the Oktober Guard when i read the yearbook and special missions comics as a kid. So when i started collecting again a few years ago, and found out there were modern versions of them, they immediately attained holy grail status for me. Earlier this year, i finally added the last missing member, and reached a huge milestone for my collection.
That said, the Zombie Initiative set is not far behind. Bringing zombies into the Joeverse via the Eco guys was a brilliant idea, if you ask me. Lab rats, toxo vipers and the zombies are still pretty high up on my wish list. |

I only ever got the Sky Patrol set. It's my favourite sub-team as it's all-new characters rather than repaints, and the Cobra half are a group that makes sense that also includes two cool Brazilian repaints. Even the extras were awesome with the Air Commandos, Freefall (still need him), Heli-Vipers and Sky Sweeper. All that's missing to finish off the set are the two Brazilian Sky Patrol characters, Air Commandos Spirit and Major Altitude.

Yeah October Guard set was amazing all around.
Sky Patrol was my holy Grail so I was mostly happy with that set, but the Cobra's were great!

The Oktober Guard was the last set I picked up. Great set. The Club was way more creative with the O-ring sets, once they switched my interest waned.

Hey Loose Cannon, thanks for commenting. Just curious, why do you see the sky patrol set as the holy grail? What makes it that way in your eyes?
Thanks!

So far we have:
# 1 October Guard # 2 Zombie Initiative # 3 Night Force # 4 Sky Patrol # 5 A Tie between Mission Brazil II and BF2000 I find it interesting that the most expensive set on ebay is tied for 5th place. Show's that Joe fans favor quality of set versus $$$ of set. Makes cents to me. |

For me it's Night Force. I'm biased in favoring urban assault themed figures. Plus I feel the most great characters/figures were produced in the particular set. The only one I felt was a weak link was Spearhead. If he was in gray colors instead of brown and he didn't have a sleepy face, he would have been better.

The thing that stinks with some of these sub-teams is that the Club wasn't able to finish them off. A real TF Tripwire is I think the last one missing from that sub-team, and it's one of the original US releases. Meanwhile, a bunch of (or all of?) the international and 2003 members have been or are going to be released. Same with NF and Sneak Peek, or Eco Warriors with Barbecue and Deep Six. It would have been nice if the 2018 Con extras and the Final 12 would have went towards finishing off some of these teams instead of starting Sonic Fighters which will also be left incomplete. I realize it would stink to get three Sneak Peeks throughout the various FSS or that new tooling might be necessary for the others while SF are all easy repaints, but still. Credit where credit's due though, the SMB set was great for the time, and it was nice that all of the US Sky Patrol releases were together in the box set. This year's set would have been perfect if Slaughter was in it, knowing that the other two SM figs would be coming in the Final 12. The 2017 set was also good for having Dee Jay and Backstop among the extras with the '87 team in the box set. I probably would have bought that one if Dee Jay and Backstop were in the box set in place of two of the BATs.
