first of all i am sorry if i have posted this in the wrong forum.
i am a huge fan of G.I.JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO. but since the 25th anniversary the original figures have lost there appeal to me. the one thing i feel is lacking in the 25th series is vehicles. now i know that there are some of the original vehicles that are 25th compatible. and i know that hasbro is doing things like re-releasing the skystriker for the p.o.c. toyline (and when/if i see one in store i might just die because i will be so happy i may not have a reason to live after that) but for the collectors that may feel like i do and would like to keep you original vehicles as current as the new figures. what do you do to keep your vehicles/playsets up to date? tell me! do you keep them original? tell me! do you clean you old vehicles and purchase repro decals? tell me! is discoloration an issue with your original stuff and maybe you repaint it? tell me! or do you take it a step further and customize it? losing the original piece but creating something amazing and fresh. show me! please post pics and share with all of us what you have done to keep your joe's modern. |

i feel that maybe i should at least tell you what i am going with my collection since i started this off with asking the question. my plan is to collect any of the new vehicles that share the same basic model or essence of the original vehicles.
such as: hiss - poc hiss decal setup based on original polar battle bear - rockslide atav repro pbb decals dragonfly - roc dragonhawk snake - roc snake sky hawk - poc ghost h.a.w.k stinger - roc steel crusher ferret atv - snake trax atv snow cat - wolf hound repro sc decals night raven - roc night raven repro decals law - roc law repro decals outpost defender - roc od repro decals jet pack - roc jet pack mobile command center - roc pit with mcc repro decals rage - poc fury now my vintage arah vehicles will be cleaned and repro decals will be re-applied and with the modern figure. such as condor z25 w/ aero-viper (from roc crimson hydra) night raven w/ 25th doci air viper terror drome w/ 25th avac viper & firebat i still have a lot of my vintage stuff to complete then i will clean and apply repro decals also Last edited by jmc2915; 04-15-2011 at 02:31 PM.. |

You should rename this thread to. "TELL ME!" LOL!
BTW, the Polar Battle Bear was re-released as a Target exclusive which you can still find on clearance here: G.I.Joe Past and Present- the Evolution of the Rockslide ATAV : Target So you don't really need the Rockslide to replace it although the set comes with both. And, 25th Joes fit in it just fine. And the Stinger was released as well, so no need for Steal Crusher to replace it if you don't want. Most recently they were found at Ross in addition to online although they are long gone by now. Last edited by sharky; 04-15-2011 at 03:23 PM.. |
