It probably would have been a longer thread, but most GI Joe collectors at the time were on other forums. I suspect the vast majority of posters here came onboard after the 25th line came out.
I remember seeing these pics on TNI and Yojoe. There was a lot of excitement over them. A fair bit of controversy, too, since EVERYONE at the time was an "o-ring collector". You got the odd "I'm boycotting everything made by Hasbro" post, much like today with the movie stuff. Heh, everything's cyclical...
Wow thats dead on, the "wah I'm banning all non- o-ring figures" is "waah I'm banning non-25th" It's like the same close-minded people that can't accept new things.
I really just find the old o-ring debate so laughable now... GI Joe isn't a little rubber ring, It's about the GI Joe mythos and characters.
