You can probably find some 25th lots for cheap on eBay that will fill a lot of holes pretty quick.
OR, since you're in Jersey, I'd recommend you attend the New Jersey Con. (I think they have one every six months) Should find some good deals AND if you're lucky and win one of their Joe raffle exclusives. You can definitely turn that for some good coin or items in trade.

Yeah HES great. A little too expensive. I have seen a lot of real good customs of him that some folks on here have done. that Im sure will pop up on ebay for about have the cost of the one actually released. A guy on hear just posted a few that he has done I think his name is meandnooneelse (I think I got that right). I am sure someone will call me out on it if I didn't. Lol. Did a really good job like two or three different times using various joe bodies and recently a Hercules body from the MU line that was monstrously awesome.

I was looking for a good rattler there and was unable to find one. |

Good luck containing that itch. It all started with the 25th CC for me six years ago and now I'm a walking Joe rash that makes hydrocortisone scream with terror.... or something like that.

Lol. The Sunbow episodes totally sucked me back in to full on collecting the ME figures. I started with a hand full or so them started rewatching the show and the same deal happened to me. I starting going oh shit I loved So and so they are next and ooh what about him gotta get him now I have about 80% of the figures realesed from 07-current. With a dozen or so bats and other troop builders. I also have a few TF figs mostly Alternators and masterpiece figs. Oh and Almost Every Beastwars character to be featured on the show lol actually might only be missing scorpinoc

Maybe I should stick to my original idea and just get the main main characters. Or else I would be SCREWED!
I am not going to lie, I have looked at the USS Flag multiple times. Now that will get me killed by the wife. BTW, anyone ever make a custom Trouser Snake (Aka Fumbles)? As an aside, my son loved EVERYTHING GI Joe at the last NJCC. Maybe I could use that as an excuse. |

I would like to build the main cast of Joes and Cobra. Not to many, just the ones that were on the show the most. With Bareness, Destro, Flyntt and some others coming out for the 50th, do you guys think that Hasbro is rebooting the figure line again and going with an ultimate type theme? I ask because if they aren't, I am thinking of hunting down some of the 25th Anniversary figures. Last question, what other "classics" GI Joes are currently out in the Retallation wave? I saw the Crimson guard, but he didn't look very G1ish. I am not sure how he looked without his vest. for an Ultimate version of the ARAH cartoon figures Get the 50th Flint 50th Lowlight 50 Baroness 50th Lady Jaye 50th Leatherneck 50th Destro 50th Beach Head look for Retaliation 3 pack Firefly 30th Lifeline 30th Airtight Comic 2 pack Tomax and Xamot 25th Hall of Heroes Zartan 25 Scarlet 5pack Shipwreck that has the larger head IMO there hasnt been a definitive (Ultimate) version of ARAH Duke done yet with good articulation The next

Alucard77, stick to a focused group of figures and resist the itch. The vehicles are going to fill the empty Detolfs your TFs left in a snap.

I would say there are a lot more figures worth getting than just that list even if you're just going for main characters. Don't forget the 30th Cobra Soldier and Viper as well as any release of the BAT. Sci-Fi is also a more main character than Lowlight. He had a whole Sunbow episode devoted to him which Lowlight never did. Let's not forget the SDCC red Jinx and SDCC Slaughter. And Serpentor, Scrap-Iron (who probably had more dialogue in Sunbow than Firefly), Beach Head, Major Bludd, Wild Bill, Roadblock, Stalker, Cover Girl, Dusty, Quick Kick, Zarana, Zandar, all the Dreadnoks...
There are very few modern figures made since 2007 that I think are inadequate or really need an update. I don't understand the nitpicking some people do over the 25th line. They're almost all massive improvements over the original o-ring figures. The only ones that aren't improvements to me are Spirit and Mainframe, mainly because of the ugly heads on them. The single-carded Shipwreck was also a real mess, but the 5-pack one was perfect. The 50th Lady Jaye has the hat, a big no-no for a Sunbow version. You should go with the DVD Battles or 5-pack one for a cartoon version. That 5-pack also has the good Shipwreck and Hawk, a key main character for season 2.
