As a collector of Joes and TFs, it saddens me to see the sort of effort that Hasbro has put out for the 50th anniversary vs what they have been doing for the 30th anniversary.
For the TF they are bringing back figures from multiple lines, new figures, complete retooling of popular figures. There are multiple releases every month. Its a constant barrage of figure after figure. And what do we have for Joes, bunch of repaints, mashed up together in 2 packs and 3 packs, a handful of repainted vehicles. Literally if you had hands the size of Yao Ming, you could hold everything that is revealed for the 50th anniversary in two hands!!

I love the word 'literally" and why stop at Yao Ming's hand size if we're being literal? LOL

I'm not impressed with either line. But I'm not worried, next year I'm sure Hasbro will be celebrating the "30th Anniversary of the Regular Run of the Animated G.I. Joe Television Series", and the "30th Anniversary of the First Introduction of Dinosaur and Insect Based Transformers In The Transformers Toyline." Both anniversaries will more than likely coincide with a new G-rated animated Transformers series that will last less than two seasons (or however long Hasbro can pay Peter Cullen for the least amount of money) and another 3D live action G.I. Joe movie and ice show.

I got out of Tf's because after seeing Masterpiece and 3rd party stuff its all I wanted. After realizing I was spending too much money on toys (can you believe that) I stopped collecting Tf's and stuck with joes.
The modern figs are great and it be hard for a 3rd party joe maker to come in and top it at a decent price point. Soooo I guess I'm way more stoked for the 50th stuff. |

It's not really the 50th anniversary for the 3-3/4 line though. I think we are lucky to be getting anything. I don't think it's fair to compare this "50th" against a true 30th TF anniversary.
