Hello all. Anyone that has read my posts knows of my unhappiness with the movie and it's toy line. I got back into collecting joes during 25th. I was/am very upset that the ME style packaging would not continue parallel with the ROC toys. So, I plan on getting the wal mart ex. monkeywrench/tunnel rat. From the pics, it doesn't look like the best one ever, but hell, if I'm to get a 25th style monkeywrench ever, then this is it. I'm not happy about it, because I didn't want to spend even 1 dollar on ROC merchandise to show my disgust. But it's either pay hasbro one way or another or let them force me out of collecting 25th/ME joes. Anyone else feel this way?

I have not bought anything yet, but I never planned a buying strike/protest, or anything like that. I just had not seen anything that appealed to me until I saw the pics of that new black Snake Armor. I will definitely purchase one of those.

If you hate the movie doesn't mean you should not buy any figures.

I find the Q & A's are the only way to get the point across. I'm not so into packaging but the filecards are huge to me and now they suck. But the figures are very poseable and what's more they are new. I don't know why they don't just knock out the last few in the old style. I mean at least pre-1988.
But I'm a Joe Junkie so there is never enough. |

In my book the exclusives that are 25th/ARAH based do not count as being part of this craptastic line.

I did open the pit commando to trade off some parts. All the accessories make it worth it plus if you can find them on sale even better.
I don't like the line but it is what it is. The 25th dream is over. It was a great ride. |

I wish I felt that way shin. It's not like the movie isn't already out. They could stop using up the good 25th molds already and just produce other movie crap. I feel it's a sign that ME single card joes aren't coming back at all.
