Yeah but that 26 year old helicopter is usually considered superior to anything that has been made since. I mean look at the most recent chopper they made from scratch. I forgot the name but they reused the tooling for the JoeCon last year. That thing is lame. It proves that today's designers just can't live up to what they did in the 80s. I'm glad they didn't try to make any new vehicles. Because most of the newer original designs are terrible.

Man Im having an existencial dilema here. I love joes and for the last 8 years its all I've collected. No Starwars, no transformers, no marvel or DC, nothing else!
But now with all this lame ass, weak-at-the-knee figures Im really not in the mood. I still love Joes! Im not talking bout quiting. Is just that I feel like the new figures are already old. Hasbro really screwed the pooch by delaying that movie. We have been looking at the same exact figures for almost 2 years now. anticipation dies down when the newest thing you see since Joecon of 2012 is a 26 year-old helicopter. Also the lack of support man! Hasbro collaborated to make War and Fall of Cybertron and what the hell did we get? ROC the game! And look at the toys they gave TF fans. FoC Bruticus, MP-10 Optimus, FoC Soundwave with all his minions, Now Grimlock and just look at the line-up for next year. Tripplechangers and Metroplex! We get a red Samurai, An eskimo and a Data-Viper that we saw at a Toyfair back in 2010 and a new-old cobra commander. Its tough being a joe-fan.

Yeah but what if you already had a Tomahawk? I mean I can understand you guys being happy about it. I was the same with the Skystriker cause I never had one so woot when the 30th anniv. came out. But the Tomahawk? I already got one complete and one Ive modded.
What if next year its something we all already have? like a Havoc or a Devilfish or something. Im NOT saying dont re-release the old molds. Im saying give us some new stuff along with the re-releases. You dont see the TF guys at Hasbro unveiling an old ass Fortress Maximus or old ass Tripticon do you? No! they are giving us a 2 foot tall Metroplex........a game-accurate Metroplex! Why cant the guys working on the Joe stuff show us joe fans the same kind of love?

Sadly, I think that could be because Transformers is the big bread-winner for Hasbro with or without current media tie-ins. G.I.Joe needs a REALLY GOOD media tie in to maybe get near that level of sales.

If they would have kept up resolute instead of renegades, and sold it to CN they would have had that, BUT NOOO!!!!!! they gave us the aimed A-Team instead.

Did they reveal the special ops line yet? Or exactly what it is? A price tag on a peg at 4.99 don't really get me pumped.. I know that 3. figures will be more than that.. But I guess we will know sometime between now, and fall 2013

Right on the dot dude.. Resolute was the shit.. No doubt If they made the cartoons like that, It woulda been huge.. Renegades...lol. what a joke.. And one lame ass artist at that. It looked like ed ed and eddy, or whatever that show was called, so cheap.

I have to take back what I said about RET Flint though, his head really isn't big, It musta been the prototype that I was looking at or something. I picked him up off the pegs earlier today to get a better look at him upclose.. Not real bad, but I still passed on him along with snake eyes, colton, roadblock, and a few others that were there...

Picked up a cyber ninja, a alley viper, and a Joe Colton today, at the Walmart on Red Rd by the Palmetto big curve.
