Hawk, Beachhead, Dial-Tone, Monkeywrench, and 2 Vipers. either a viper or hawk was last i believe , but I'd only be guessing...
Started getting them again in 2002 or so.....ferociously by 2004.

The last vintage ARAH fig I got was 1991 Hawk, and only because my younger brother got him for me (he remembered that Hawk was my favourite Joe).
I then collected sporadically in 1998, 200 & 2001, but didn't really get started again until 2002. I enjoyed various incarnations of characters from 2003-2006, but it was 2007 and the 25th anniversary figures that got me seriously rolling......since then I have never slowed.

Last vehicles were from '86 and were the Tomahawk, Stun, Havoc and Devilfish. I regret not getting the Terror Drome but my interest was fading.
I almost got back in with the new sculpt era, but they weren't my Joes. The 25th though, wow! Childhood nostalgia at it's best.

I remember eventually there were no more GI Joes. They were replaced by Street Fighter toys, then came SGT Savage, then GI JOE Extreme!
The last vehicle I bought was the Patriot and the last figure was Guile. It wassnt the same Joe again for a long time, not till Venom vs. Valor.

Let's get some kids in here before the line dies with our basement dwelling, porn surfing, over-finicky, douchebag dreams.

Posts: 1,366 | I think '88 was the last line I went out of my way to collect, after that things we pretty piece meal until '91 where I'm pretty sure the last fig I got was General Hawk (with the jet pack) and I think the last vehicle I bought was the Locust. It wasn't like I didn't want to buy Joe stuff I just didn't like the direction Hasbro was going with the line. It wasn't until the '05 direct to Consumer line came out I started to collect Joe again.
