BTW, the wife and I love San Francisco. Wish the homes out there were not so damned expensive.
I'm not really talking about multiple vehicles or cases or a father that insists on his child loving the franchise he grew up with. I'm talking about kids. When I as a kid, I often passed over multiples of figures I already owned. Why would I agree to owning a second tele-viper when I had the option of a STUN and Motor Viper; a figure I didn't already have? My G.I Joe collection was a hand full of singular characters while supported by an army of foot soldiers that ranged from the Cobra Officer to the Frag Viper. In fact, that was the point of the blossoming of the line. The figures didn't address the main characters, it addressed the army each had. I had one Viper; I had one BAT; I had one SAW Viper. All those guys ended up being a huge army of Cobra footsoldiers. My Joe figures were Rank and File oriented. I simply never had the option to army build. I might have, if I were looking to build an army and not get figures I didn't have, already. I collect for myself and have no need for an army of Cobra Eels. I want a single Cobra Eel, but 40 of them seems like the reason figures aren't found on the shelves for other collectors.
