I have a couple of issues with this.
1) $10.99 for a single figure at retail is asinine, especially when Hasbro openly displays MSRP of 6.99-7.99 for these figures. Not even including their biggest competitor is 3.02 cheaper. 2) The new packaging sucks, no filecards or stands. GI Joe has always been a character-driven line. 3) The reduced articulation of numerous figures. I'm to pay a premium for less, UMMMM, NO! I love Joe. But if it means that it has to go on another hiatus until Hasbro can figure out what they're doing, there's always the club, the con, and vintage. Besides, I'm starting to get into the international stuff. |

I'm not quitting, I will be cherry picking this line and future lines. With the last couple waves of the 30th most every figure I wanted in modern articulation has been released. I imagine the Night Viper will be my last Army build.
I plan on focusing a lot of my energy and wallet to restoring vintage vehicles. 10.99 price is going to slow me way down and re-think my collecting priorities.

Realistically, I have a short list of the characters left that I want/need. A few vehicles and that's all she wrote. For me the nostalgia for all the encompassing lines is finite. There are not an unlimited amount of characters in Joe, transformers, he-man, thundercats etc. so once they make decent versions of all of them, I'm pretty much done. :( Guess I have to be a full fledged adult then huh?

I'm just going to use it as an excuse to buy more figures at Wal Greens because they are not overpriced there anymore.

Whine, whine, whine.
Bitch, bitch, bitch. Moan, moan, moan. Go and live in a country where they don't sell Joes at all and where action figures cost between 10 and 13 Euro. That's about 15 Bucks per figure. Now go and pick the figures you really want or do me a favor and stay away from the figures so I have a better chance of picking up those that I want. |

Ah yes, that inevitable later wave mass hunt. Yeah, because that was fun last year. Thanks for th info though. I'm still leaning more towards dropping the line during this increased price hike phase, but a squad of Night-Vipers could change that.
