So 2.5 is over? Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2007 4:44 pm Post subject: 2.5 is done. I think many of us suspected or feared this would be the case.
I find myself of mixed emotions.
On the one hand, I love the line a great deal. I had originally intended to buy only a figure or two, but ended up getting them all, especially when the prices dropped. The only flaw was the pre-posed figures, but given the vehicular nature of the line, I don't think it should have been fatal. It's a shame to think that we won't be getting anything like the DragonHawk, Vamp or IronHammer again.
On the other hand, the 8 inch line is booming, and that's going to put a big bite into my wallet. I can feel my collecting days starting to wind down in the nearish future, and having one less line to worry about will be a blessing.

I also find myself mildly disappointed that the Ninja Bike is getting axed. Not that we needed another SE, but he looked to have cool weapons. Any chance they can be recycled into the Paratrooper SE?
+++++++++
Have to wonder about the "Adventure Team" line. At $20 a pop, they better offer something good. We got SE and Timber for $15. Given that ASE alone was about soldier quality, that put Timber at a price equvilient of about $5. So either these figures come with Commando level accessories, or the animals had better be noticably better than Timber (which I think will be hard to do).
++++++++++
I remember pushing for Titanium Joe vehicles a few months back, and no one seemed interested. I wonder if that's changed at all.
++++++++++
Gave up 3.75 a long time ago, but I'm glad to see them get one more chance, if only to stop the bitching. I wonder what they're planning on doing with the vehicles? Has WM suddenly changed it's mind about carrying them?
