i'm still sticking to my guns, i said i would buy only choice things, an that's what i have been doing. as for figs i built up 5 ice vipers, an 5 torpedos, so far 4 pit commandos, no paravipers yet, 2 flashes, i want the tru snow serpents.
i got a few figures like desert duke, shipwreck an breaker mostly for custom parts, an got a helix for the hell of it. i have 2 black claws so far, an i'm adding all the extra missles on my other claws that didn't come with missles like the red ones did.( i can deal wit' green missles compared to not having any for the empty pegs on my white ones, perhaps that's why this time they threw in ghost hawk missles an fang missles to fill the gap on the white ones that we all bought?) basically i want anything that is a classic remake but tossed in the roc line wit' a new color, an anything new that's dope straight off the line like the flash figure an ice viper.. and i'm looking forward to other jems that get tossed to us, but not to thrilled with the movie line as a whole though, only for parts like jungle ripcords hat.... |

I don't remember if I ever promised I'd not buy a figure on a ROC card. I do know I won't buy anything directly related to the horrible Paramount designs that they came up with.
I've bought: TRU Firefly- one of the best figures ever. TRU Barbecue Target Eel with sled Para-Viper Helix- Great new character Walmart Monkeywrench+Tunnelrat Walmart Shockwave+Night Creeper Pit Commando-only for his gear.It was like an accessory pack. As you can see. I've bought none of the crap designed by people who have no clue what G.I.Joe is about. |

It looks like a lot of people - myself included - are being a lot choosier about what they buy. I've held fast with 2x Para-vipers (awesome re-coloring), a Pit Commando, Helix, City Strike Snake Eyes and some custom fodder. I did, however, end up buying more than I thought I would.
I am dying to see the Serpent armor and the Cobra Heet-Seek exclusives though... Last edited by Ako Roshi; 10-17-2009 at 09:14 PM.. |

I caved. I am a weak, weak man :(
I broke and bought a Stormy and it was all downhill from there. I think I have about 15 different RoC figs now. No vehicles though... until the Snake Armor come out. I need some serious help |

I was a hater until I realized they were using 25th rapaints, and then I was all in. I finally got a RoC Firefly! Maybe next time CS Snake Eyes!

I still haven't bought anything, but to be completely honest I've kind of lost interest. I'm not even sure if I would buy more classic 25th style stuff if it came out. I pretty much have all of the 25th stuff and it is all still in the packages neatly stacked in a closet. I do plan to get a snake armor if I see one though, but only for the nostalgic appeal that the 25th stuff had. I still like this site though, it allows me to enjoy a little bit of social networking without the way to personal doucheyness of facebook or something. I mean like I really care if some A-hole I went to school with 15 years ago is going to the park with his kids today.

Where's the "I've bought select RoC figures because while the movie sucked, some of the figures are great" option?
