It's the whole "vintage style vs modern style" issue. A vintage figure would not "fit" with the modern stuff people have been buying the last few years.

In my defense, the servant who was taking my dictation of that particular post was having difficulty with the jewel-encrusted keyboard and took it upon himself to paraphrase so that he wouldn't have to type as much. The result was a post that was perhaps more curt than I intended. Of course, he may have paraphrased because I was being fed grapes by another servant at the time and he may not have understood every word... nevertheless, the lad is spending the afternoon in the hot box for his indiscretion. Now I must take my leave. Retrieving a vintage from my wine catacombs to serve with dinner can take up to 4 hours.

This thread illustrates that we need to put the "lethal" back into "non-lethal"
Too many people supposing, dreaming, hypothesizing, and wishing they understood the systems. After 17 pages of mostly non-sense, only a few posters actually seem to be or been part of a brick and mortar retailer in a position to understand and explain the mechanics of merchandise. Everyone else should go back to some sort of school and take a course. Stop making it up. (This is a joke): Oh yeah, for the poster that said pre-1987 is blah, blah, blah... You are not old enough to understand and respect when GI Joe was about the USA, the Military, conflict with evil, etc... you want a time of brightly colored dressed folks fighting toxic dumpers, wannabe crime lords, monsters from space and whatever else was going on at that time. It's not your fault, blame your parents for having you a decade too late. Last edited by cardensb; 07-14-2013 at 10:07 AM.. Reason: edited to impart humor |

You should also do yourself a favor and look up the following member names before you make these kind of posts a habit: Headman Gunslinger CBR Bombardier Seriously. It really hacks me off to see so called "real" fans talk down to other collectors like this. Can't we all enjoy the hobby as Joe fans? |

Honestly who cares. People shouldnt take this stuff so serious after all we are grown men who collect action figures. Everyone has a right to a opinion and no one has to agree or disagree with it. This hobby is suppose to be fun after all.

And this is the kind of condescending BS that ruins the hobby. How about you get rid of your Alley Vipers, Range Vipers, and others since those are all produced after 1987?

It was a joke, I was joking. I appreciate you and your generations unique views and am glad you are a part of the Joe community. I am no better a collector than you because I was born early enough to enjoy 1982. I also appreciate the generation before both of us and the 12" line that started it all.
