I'm not a fan of the new box set but others seem to be pretty excited about it. If there's a market and other collectors dig it, why not? I think we've learned one thing on HISS tank, you can not please everyone.
If Hasbro really wanted to shine me and make all their 5 packs irresistible throw a build-a-whatever piece into the box. Can I suggest the Cobra Robot from issue 3 of the marvel series, or a BET? http://oldgijoes.com/rah3.jpg

If you don't like repaints, don't buy them. Without them and the multiple uses of body parts we would only have a handful of figures. I'd rather have the quantity of figures that I have now, and get a new wave of figures with some frequency than wait 5 months between 'all new' waves.
And since the 'repaints finance the new figures' has been correctly diagnosed and covered, I won't go into that. The idea that Hasbro has all of these figures waiting to be released, but holding them back so that repaints can take their place in a wave is just not true. I think what we are seeing is a lasting result of Hasbro being unprepared for the success of this line. The development of figures takes a long time. (Star Wars is usually a year or so ahead in their planning) I've been amazed at the amount of figures that have been released so far that have successfully utilized parts from other figures. Collecting isn't a subscription where you get the figures whether you like them or not. There is a choice involved on the individual's part. |

Support the line while you can because once it's gone.. it will be a long time before we see GI Joe again. They can fill the 4 pegs we have with the CORP or even Star Wars. I do everything I can to support my Joe line by buying repaints and other figures because at least if all else fails... I can make customs out of them. Make figures that Hasbro won't produce.. of course it's kinda hard to make a Cover Girl with only 3 ladies being out right now and also Zaranna. If I buy enough Joes.. I will have enough to last me until Hasbro puts out some more figures 10 years down the line!!

A repaint coming out doesn't mean a new figure gets knocked off the list of joes planned to be released. In fact, without repaints we'd get less new figures, since Hasbro would make less money from the line.
I agree 100%. I was talking about the 5-pack Duke though. |

i don't mind repaints, but i'm really down on the Resolute 5 pack becuase it could have been so much more.
I'd troop build the Resolute Trooper, but i don't want him in Red I'm disappointed the Resolute "Officer" apparently has no changes besides a Chevron on his helmet ~ i'd like to have seen a different vest as an homage to the Classic Officers different web gear The BAT is a nice Deco, but if this is supposed to be a "resolute" BAT i'd have liked to see at least some minor new tooling ~ updated limbs or a new torso without the exposed innards or something to make him look a little less dated the Red n Black CC just doesn't look that good to me ~ i think Resolute CC in general is a near-miss; he's almost awesome,but a little to much robe makes him look like he's wearing a skirt and a shawl or something. and i hate the redeco of duke and the goofy glider pack and spring loaded launcher. I really wonder why they didn't do this pack with either A. Key characters from the show (Duke/Roadblock/SE/Trooper/CC) or B. Characters whom based on the model sheets from SDCC could be done with minor retooling of existing molds, ala Stalker and Airborne, instead of what are almost assuredly non-show repaints...

I don't mind repaints as that is how Hasbro keeps the line alive and makes money off of their molds. If they released everything once and then stopped, this line would be over due to the fact that there would be no more figures to produce. I want this line to continue for a long time and let's face it folks, repaints are going to happen and there is nothing we can do about it...
