Hi, my name is 82joe and I'm a Joe junkie.
I'll have to be honest and admit I haven't been overly impressed with the ROC figures and vehicles. Dare I say I even put them down from time to time. I've even bashed the movie (just a little....but I am going Friday) I checked out all the pre pics of figures and thought they all looked blah. I wasn't excited about them and thought they would all be an easy pass. When the finally hit retail not much changed seeing them in person. I flipped through the racks often chuckling to myself thinking these were god awful but in time I found a select few I thought were okay (not great but okay). I took advantage of the TRU 2 for 9.99 and bought a few. Picked up Deep Six, (masked) Storm Shadow, Ice Viper and Sgt Stone. I thought these figures were close enough to what I've come to expect from the 25th line and fit in nicely. I even tracked down a Flash and bought the Cobra Gunship, Night Raven and ALL the Alpha Vehicles (well, my mommy bought me those for being such a good son....gotta love mom I'm still her little boy) Even though I have a fair amount of new Joes I'm still feeling a little ho-hum on everything. I think I'm so used to collecting and searching that I'm gonna buy this stuff no matter what. Will it ever end? There, I feel better for getting it off my chest.

Oh well, more for me.
I buy 'em cause I like 'em. I've found a spot for most of 'em in my normal Joeverse. The ones I don't like or can't find a spot for, don't get bought. So far I'm impressed with the RoC line.

I too am buying them because I like them.
Though for me, its because I've always liked movie toys, and GI Joes. I stopped collecting Joes in the late 90's, so I saw this as a good place/universe to start on.

Seen a couple, not many, say that they only stopped and looked cause it was Joe and then the figures won 'em over.

My name is A.C.T. and I'm a Joe jukie. I did not like the route they were taking with the figures, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got a few in my grips. Now I truly dig 'em. Not because there isn't any 25th ones to buy, but because they're...great. So here I sit, letting my fingers do the talking, 55 figures deep into ROC and loving it. I do miss the 25th ann. figures, and I hope they keep making them. If they had peg space for both, I would buy both. Thanks Hasbro for giving us some great updates.
P.S. I still don't like the ass-selerator suits and I will not purchase any, which is just two.

I fall somewhere in between I think. I'm getting the ones I like and run screaming from the ones I don't (which is over half so far)

I only buy the ones that have gear or weapons I can use for 25th or resolute customs later on. Don't really plan on staring a RoC collection.

Not me. Some of the look cool but guess what? They are merely repaints ie Cobra Eel with the Mini sub and the TRU Snow Serpent.
I'll get some figs/vehicles whenever they go on clearance. No need to rush.
