Hey fellow Joes - whats up?
I'm new to collecting G.I. Joe but have been a fan of them ever since I first saw the TV show as a kid (huge wrestling fan so Sgt. Slaughter was my gateway into it). I'm not new to collecting toys but for the past year or so I've had my eye on Joes because I've been looking for something to army build. I don't know where this compulsion comes from but dammit I want a huge army of Cobras or Crimson Guards or Red Ninjas or something. So I'm not sure what exactly I want to army build yet so I thought I would ask my fellow Joes what kinds of armies they amass. I definitely want to do something different other than regular Cobras so I was leaning towards the Crimson Guards. But then again Red Ninjas are pretty cool looking as is this spiffy looking all black Snake Eyes with tons of accessories I saw today. So what do you collect? What do your armies look like? Sorry for being longwinded but thanks for helping out a new Joe'er with your response. Tyler |

your best bet would be to go to walmart and get the comic 2 set with crimson guard and scared soldier. they are $9.99 now , so you can build 2 armys at once and it is cheaper than buying single action figures at $7 a pop. either that or collect the toys r us exclusive packs and get stuck with a million cobra commanders. but it is still way better than buying singles

Ive been collecting since '95(before i just played with them). I have the same "compulsion". Ive always need to collect army builders. So i collect only arcticulate troops from joes and clone troopers.

i army-build them all. but if i had to choose one, i'd go with Crimson Guards. I think Hasbro did a really nice job with the 25th CGs. pop the Twins in front of an army of CGs, and i think you'd have a very display-worthy group.

I army build. Been collecting Joes since 1982. At first I just played with them but as I got I older I kept them, kept coming back to them, kept enjoying them. 25 years later and the compulsion continues.
