What were the last ARAH toys you were into before you ditched the line?

python patrol, tigerforce, and some BF2000 stuff also think i had cesspool and toxo viper2, after that i pretty much got out for a while, a long while, and intermittently recolected my arah gems, jumped in to VvV briedly, selectively and very selectively acquired a few sigma6 items, which i have since sold once side show broke out w/ their shit.
all caught up on 25th/ME save for a few that ill gather over the next year since the movie line sucks.

Capt. Grind Iron and Freefall were the last two GI Joes that I remember purchasing before I discovered girls and noticed that GI Joe was looking more neon and less cool (sorry!). I am not sure what it was about Capt Grid Iron that was so cool, but he was added to my usual squad from hat point on, even when there was no need for football grenades. I did miss out on some cool figures when I stopped buying but I did discover girls. Later, once I had some disposable income, I started sporadically buying GI Joes as I saw, mostly Toys R US exlusives and then a bunch of 2002-2005 line. It didn't seem like GI Joe until 2007, though, with the 25th.

ill say this too, having discovered i can make kick ass customs, and having almost all arah rereleases or customs now, hasbro better fix their shit and make some better decisions about products, quality and quantity or im about to be out again and just give me selective love to side show.

I never stopped by choice, they just dwindled away here in the UK. I remember some Woolworths 2-packs with the likes of Pathfinder in, and they'll be the last ones I got at regular retail. I kept buying classics via the internet right up until the Joe vs Cobra relaunch and the t-crotch "controversy", when I began all over again. I guess in one way or another, I've never stopped buying Joes... EDIT - Until now

The last figure I remember getting was the 1st Alley-Viper so 1989 was the end of the line for me before getting back into it heavy with the 25th line tail end of it in 2009.

The last vehicle I got was the Python Patrol A.S.P. & Python Patrol STUN.

I have been collecting joes for over a year now and veep wondering what ARAH stars for. So sorry but please say. Everyone always uses just those letters.

A Real American Hero, 1982 through 1994 original 3 3/4" run of figures and vehicles.

Last was Fort America, I was a late bloomer and caught allot of the tail ending GI JOE pieces. I remember getting on clearance and thinking it was a hunk of junk.

I was born in 1971, so when ARAH debuted, I was all ready 11 years old. The '84 series was the last one I remember getting-Blowtorch was one of the last figures I got in 8th grade. I was still buying the Marvel Comic 'till Spring of '86, when I quit around issue # 53-54. Even back then, I saw the line was changing-and not for the better. I thought Zartan was too fantastic,and the line was all ready repeating itself-Footloose should have been Grunt version 2. September '85 I started high school, and kind of lost intrest in joes. You ask me, 85 was the best year of the ARAH era.

I was really into Battle Corps. I thought a lot of the figures were great, especially Duke, Cobra Commander, Beach Head, Frostbite, Cross Country, Shipwreck and Stalker. I also really liked the Mud Buster. I guess I never really ditched the line so much as it was cancelled, lol.
