First of all I would like to thank you for the 25th/Modern line. It has been one hell of a ride and I hope it picks up right where it leaves off when the Movie Line (Which I will buy none of, but that is a topic for another time) is finished.
What I would like to mention now is the few thing you are doing wrong in light of all that you are doing right. First of all when I got the first batch of Target Vehicle releases (HISS, AWE and SHARC Repaint) I was thrilled. However you neglected to include most accessories and included no stands for the figures. I also have to say that the stickers used were the worst I have seen since the disaster that was the Paper Stickers in the 90's. I thought that they could not get any worse. I was Wrong. Though you corrected the Stand Problem in the Wave 1 Vehicles, accessories were still missing and the stickers were still as lackluster. You did however put the File Cards in the box so that you don't have to cut out the insanely thick cardboard box to have your file card. All in all an improvement if not perfect. Then come the Rattler and the Conquest. Don't get me wrong I LOVE them! However the Stands for the Figures are once again missing the file cards are on the box again (Boo!!) and the stickers are the second worst I have seen from you in the 26 year run of this line! I have to say I will be ordering reproductions for these vehicles as these stickers are an unacceptable blight on an otherwise perfect set of Planes. (Missing Stands and the File Card thing aside). I also have to take issue with your packaging. Window boxes just plain suck. They get damaged too easily and the force you to pre-assemble the vehicle and and half-assedly apply some of the stickers. Save some money. Do what you do for Star Wars Vehicles. Put them in normal boxes covered with artwork (NO WINDOWS!) disassembled and with no stickers on. They will sell just as well if not better and you will save money. As for the stickers themselves either get with the program and give us quality stickers or just paint on the details. Oh and GIVE US STANDS FOR VEHICLE DRIVERS! That's all, just pointing out a few flaws in an otherwise stellar line. Oh and BTW if you have 1/2 a brain you will continue the 25th/Modern line even while the movie line is in stores, there are a lot of people like me that want nothing to do with a line based on the designs we have seen and will not be buying any Joes while this line is the only offering. I did the same with Transformers when the Bayformers figures were the only ones offered.

i gotta agree with scythemeister here. I much prefer these new styles though i do wish they had a screw in the back for easier disassembly. Im glad i dont have to worry about broken crotches on my joes or goony rubber bands to hold em together.

Even if there is no return of the O-Ring please screw the torsos together instead of this glue crap.
