Does anyone ever wish the figures that come with vehicles would also come with a stand? See I don't collect Joe vehicles, just the figures...nothing against vehicles, it's just I don't have space for them. Now, if I get a vehicle, it's for the figure alone, and I for one, like my figures to have stands. They are much easier to display that way. What do you guys think?

I prefer to have stands, but I guess I'm not outraged if they leave it out...

Sounds like I need to sell you this huge box of stored stands I have and keep an eye out to buy your extra vehicles. Your question did make me try to think of a vehicle that came with a figure stand... I can't other than maybe the Target Ultimate Battle Pack - I think it had stands for all the figures.

Along these lines, I am seeing they have two pegs on BOTH the GI Joe and Cobra stands in POC ... why couldn't they have done this from the beginning with the 25th line?

And what kills me is the TRU Sting Raider came with two, one for each fig, but the regular vehicles don't. What? to save $0.05 per vehicle? Is it really bloody worth it?

I typically throw away the stands. Guess I should hold onto them to pass them along to folks who might need extras... I'm sure I have a POC beachhead stand if no one else gets one for you.

Yeah, it'd be nice if the vehicle figures included stands - but I figure Hasbro thinks that most people would have the figure sit in/on the vehicle.

I remember seeing way back in the day, battle packs that was nothing but accessories. Usually just some random rifles, a couple pistols, a backpack or two, and some stands. They would hang on the pegs with the figures and cost about the same. But I haven't seen anything like that recently.
If you need stands, just go to the http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ve-thread.html. If you do any trading with other Tankers, just ask if they can throw in an extra stand here and there. Most will likely hook you up.

I know when the 25th anniversary line came out the first set of vehicles came with stands, but I never got any vehicles after the few wave. This is interesting since I never knew this and I have been saving up for a huge vehicle order at BBTS. I think I'll look for some stands too LOL.
