That stuff is cool for kids to play with. Kids buy this and want more figures for it. They may buy some joes to go with it. They sell it in dollar general and I think maybe big lots.

This stuff is carried by Dollar General. Very poor quality. Not bad for kids, though.

I think that Army Little Bird looks good, toss the figures and get some Joes on it for a fast insertion team.

anyone else notice that they stole the barricade/block wall from the 1994 30th anniversary GIJoe sets in the US Army Street Tank set ? It might be 20 years old but they got some balls to rip Hasbro off like that. Although I do like that street tank, give it a nice Russian paint job and bam instant Oktober Guard APC.
And that Navy Seal boat is very clearly based on the Cobra Piranha. I think there are some cool stuff in the line I wouldn't mind getting to use with my Joes. |

Its not ripping off or your able to get molds. I think companies sell the molds or something to other companies. You see a lot of rip offs at low cost stores like dollar tree,etc.

Kids will play with and they will get excited about the military building a love for it and maybe joining up when they are 18. Its good marketing for the armed services. Air Force prob didnt do it cause the company prob did not make anything for it cause of the cost. These are in low cost stores which a lot of times are in crappy neighborhoods were some of the residents only way out is joining up. It makes perfect sense.

If grown men were buying up all the best G.I. Joe stuff when we were kids, we would all be on a Corps site right now. I'm glad there's some stuff out there kids can actually get and play with. Hasbro really should start another military line to compete with G.I. Joe that isn't saddled with 50 years of nostalgia.
