Hasbro unveils first 10 Figures For The 25th Anniversary Line

JR0d28 · 12-07-2009, 07:11 PM

Man only reason 5 packs were great because of the Cobra Trooper and Gung Ho. The rest of these figures that made it to wave 4 single card were meh. Granted Baroness was a great figure but when the 09 one hit the new 5 packs it blew the 07 one out of the water.

Wow that was the best line to date since Joes came back on the market.

Man the start of this line was so much fun. I remember hasbro wanted to release a pic of one figure at a time but everyone figured out the links for all the figures by using the character names in the web addresses. All the pics ended up on yojoe.com that day lol.

I couldn't agree more. The updates were far and few, but man did it get everyone excited! I swear its like a feeding frenzy when new updates were discovered or some leaked photos were released. It was hard to read an entire thread because it was constantly updating every second.

But now I feel somewhat disenchanted with it all. It seems like anyone can bypass the hunt and simply buy from the overseas ebay sellers. I'm cool with it, but I just feel it has made joe collecting less fun for some reason I can't explain. I guess what I'm getting at is, the tank was a lot of fun back then. Don't get me wrong, I like how it is now but there was something special and magical(lack of a better word sorry) about it back then. You just had to be there, I guess.

It's just like how it's always good at the beginning of a relationship. ROC is child support payments and a second mortgage.

I remember when I first heard about the 5 packs. I looked everywhere online just to see pics. That is what brought me here. I loved the 25th line. I had a good amount of them at first but had to sell my whole collection. Now I am back to almost 100 figures strong and growing. I fully intend to get at least 75% of the 25th line. I am almost there figures wise. Then on to vehicles.
