Today after a lot of work I have finally completed one of my collecting goals. I always wanted to own my perfect Dreadnok group. I really was never interested in any Dreadnok figures or vehicles past a certain point so I set my goal at acquiring the Noks up to Road Pig and Gnawgahyde and my vehicles up to the Swampfire and Zanzabar's Swamp Skiff.
Now I have all of the guys I wanted 100% complete and I am very happy. I just wanted to share my story and post a picture of my complete group. How about all of you have you made your collecting goals and dreams come true?

Nice. I have one collecting goal and that is to have all my favorites in Classic/Resolute form.
It's a rather broad goal, but ultimately an achieveable one given enough time.

Looks great, did you ever think about getting a sears exclusive set, Vamp repaint. Either way, you did an awesome job. Wish I had your collection. Yes and my goal now is the thirteen original joes, waiting for zap and a better Short-fuze and Steeler, I am happy with the rest though.

That sounds like a great goal. It is these goals that keep me hunting and searching. I have been working on the above goal for a while now.

Well, one of my collecting goals is very, very unlikely.
It will involve Hasbro re-issuing the Star Wars Imperial Shuttle yet again, and my decorating it with COBRA stickers, and then making a big diorama of "COBRA Commander's Arrival" based on the Emperor's arrival scene from "Return of the Jedi" with Crimson Guards standing in for the Royal Guards, Destro/Baroness/Twins, etc. standing in for Vader and the Imperial commanders, and dozens of Vipers and COBRA Soldiers standing in for the Stormtroopers and other Imperial troopers. My big dream would be for them to re-issue the shuttle in black with a red cockpit. I've no talent for customizing so I don't think doing it myself would work out very well. |

I never liked the Sears set. I really tried to stay in my goal lines. I didn't want to pick up something that I didn't like. That is one of the reasons I kept very strict goal rules. If i tried to get everything that had a Dreadnok name on it I would have gone mad and possibly broke.

I don't like the Sears Dreadnok vehicles either. Just as well since they're so expensive.
My display's similar to yours, except I don't have Gnawgahyde nor the Cycle but I do put the Water Moccasin and Copperhead in it as Copperhead is an honorary Dreadnok in my Joe-Verse. |

Nice! I'm working on a similar goal, all the Funskool Dreadnoks MOC. (So far have Zartan, Buzzer and Zarana) That and the O-13 straight arm, loose complete. (Have Snake Eyes and Rock n Roll) Those are, of course, amidst collecting 25th/modern.
Yeah, Barefoot: Copperhead and the Moccasin are Dreadnoks in my collection too. It's their main mode of transport. I throw Croc Master in there too. Last edited by Foolproof; 05-02-2009 at 01:26 AM.. |

Nice pic Samantha, they look so peaceful for a rowdy bunch lol
I don't really have a goal pertaining certain groups, I just want all the 80's joes done in modern era fashion! |
