Unimpressive, your going to have to make the projectiles actually blow up, like a firecraker or somehting maybe some very little teeny bit of C4 so I can blow my fingers off before I get overly excited about shooting missiles....

as a vehicle from the movie, i think its a nice amalgam of joe fantasy and modern looking tech.
as a toy vehicle from the movie, i dont like the spring-loaded weapons and thank heavens weve not seen that stupidity in the "25th" line. as a vehcile from the new movie toyline, i could care less. i refuse to collect the movie stuff as i havnt the room for the stuff i have now. |

Judging by the pics of that Rock Slide vehicle prototype, That thing is a piece of sh=t.
Well Hasbro, we all know that your a buisiness and all and don't give a rats ass about releasing things for the collector as long as your making profit, but you just threw away your meal ticket. Well, to put it plain and simple YOU JUST KILLED GI JOE. You see it looks like the crappy era of GI Joe vs Cobra, Valor vs Venum, Spy Troops has returned. I see the crappy action/sound attack is back also. Well its been a nice run w/ the 25th line and it was fun while it lasted. Now its time for the new crap to take over and I think we all understand why. Because it looks like Hasbro is trying to make the GI Joe brand name reborn again but this time w/ a new generation of kids. I will bet you that Hasbro will probably get McDonalds to promote the movie. But there still might be some hope left. Us collectors can only hope that the: the movie will flop the video game flop the new toy line will flop If any of those three things are a sucess and hasbro starts raking in the profits then we are finished for good. So until then I will see you all in the year 2032 if Hasbro desides to do a GI Joe 50th Anniversary line. I'm out and it has been a good year. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry that your hopes of a 25th anniversary Costal Defender and Swamp Masher were crushed. I just wonder if this had been released 25 years ago how many people would be saying something different? I mean it isn't like the beloved Trouble Bubble is that great but how many out there LOVE it? The Fang? Also not my thing but how many of the bashers of the new stuff were searching like mad men when Fang and pods came out? Is this new Rock Slide any less cool than the Stun? Or is it that you are not looking at this from the same eyes you watched the cartoon with. Nostalgia seems to have a great effect on the way we look at things. I mean if we had not grown up seeing the Recon Sled and Havoc every afternoon after school would we want those things today? Yet how many people would giggle like a school girl at the very sight of them? I for the life of me can't seem to understand how THIS killed GI Joe? The same GI Joe that survived and thrived after Snake Eyes was in a dress! Or how Quick Kick could show up and kick the crap out of Storm Shadow in the middle of a snow storm with no shirt or shoes on. Didn't Bazooka say he had frost bite just before? But because of evolution of the line and a market to the next generation of children (you remember one of those little people you were when you first fell in love with the GI Joe line) the line is dead? Yes, Hasbro is trying to market this to a new generation of kids. How does that shock you? 25 years ago they didn't market GI Joe to your dad, why would you expect this to be just for you? Or is it too much to ask for children today to grow up with the same joy that we did? I mean the stuff we got fit the times and was a bit advanced. Shouldn't our kids get the same treatment? But you know, your right.... damn the kids! As long as you get your Modern Era Pac Rats your good right? Here is a thought for you..... if the movie flops if the video game flops if the new toy game flops......... do you think the higher ups at Hasbro will keep investing just so you can get your last six figures and move on to the 25th anniversary ThunderCats line? Or the upgraded Silver Hawks? Bottom line is if there is a market for new stuff then they will have a reason to keep putting out the old stuff with it. |

If someone does not like this stuff then by all means, you can leave it in the shelf.....I know people will have their own opinions but saying a line is dead because you do not like something? That makes no since at all. |

I wonder what the price point for this is gonna be, I don't see how Hasbro could charge $15 for this.
