I bet you could've opened and played with about 15 joes in the time it took you to type that giant 600-page zombie dissertation in the RI thread.
No, I did open a bunch of other stuff instead. Star Wars, Transformers, Lego. I opened those right up.
With 25th Joe, I ended up making this odd promise to myself that I wouldn't open any up until I had 25th Storm Shadow to go with my 25th Snake Eyes.
25th Snake Eyes was the first 25th Joe I purchased and it's what got me back into collecting G.I.Joe.
For the longest time I had all the different 25th figures but could never find the 25th Storm Shadows until they hit Five Below and TJ Maxx/Marshalls. By that time, ROC was already flooding the discounters.
I just decided to keep going, finding and collecting the figures as they appeared. I was fine opening other toys, so Joes were collected but playing with them was put on the back burner.
Mind you, this was way before I posted regularly here in the sightings. If anything, the recent scarcity of post ROC Joe figures is what got me posting here again. I used to have an easy time finding the single-carded 25th Joes unless they were anything Storm Shadow or clear Wraith. Those were the only ones that really eluded me until the big discounter period.

Destro's Son had some fun :P>
Don't you worry, I will open them all up. Right now during the long hiatus, I'm going to assemble a 25th-30th list of anything else I might want, collect that, and then finally open them all up before Retaliation hits again.
Then it's on to collecting Retaliation figures once those arrive...
