Agreed. Issue #120 was dated January 1992, and that was the year all the neon, spring-loaded missile launchers, and other gimmicks really exploded. 1991 had a bit of those, but was still grounded for the most part (but was the year of the shift from decals to stickers on the vehicles).
Most of the issues after #118 can be ignored, but that could be stretched to #134 if you're into the ninjas, etc. (and good or bad, I do have a lot of nostalgia for the Andrew Wildman era).
From #135 onward (i.e. the "Staring: Snake Eyes issues), #143, #144, and #152 are ok to good depending on your tastes. #155 is, of course, a must-read and some of Hama's very best writing.
