The local toy store that I went to for most of the figures(except the Nitro Viper), House of Plastik, has a T'Gin-Zu minus the sword for $20 and I am tempted to buy it.
I know how you feel about being a college age toy collector. I was 21 when the Power of the Force Star Wars figures came out, and I started collecting them(they soon filled up my room in my apartment as well).
It was weird being a 20s toy collector, although the 3 am Walmart runs to see if they have new stock was fun. Going into a store's toy department now in my 40s, you can say you are buying for your child. Going there in my 20s, I just looked like a stoner(which I was at the time anyways lol).
I don't regret it though, I've always been a toy collector/reseller since then.
The Sharc 9000 is a cool vehicle - great design and if the guns, missiles, mines were grey or black instead of bright 90s pink I think it would get alot more positive attention. I can vouch for the 92 HQ - that was what I had as a kid - it's a cool playset. The 2001 version is even better with the more muted colors.
I miss my summer Saturday Joe hunts from the early 2000s - sure it was the VvV, Joe Vs Cobra, SpyTroops era but it was fun chain smoking camel lights and driving to the 5 or 6 TRUs in my area to see what I could find. That carried over a little into my mid 20s when the 25th anniversary stuff came out as well but I felt that was a little more rushed and not the same fun experience I had as a carefree college student on summer break. I do miss those days though. It's nice to see the Retro line give the Joe's a retail presence these days but the line itself has underwhelmed me both in all facets - the execution, the minimal product and very small waves of figures/vehicles being released.
