When 25th Anniversary was happening, I went out and picked figures of characters I liked. I convinced myself not to go overboard and try to get a complete 25th figure set.
Flash forward a couple years, PoC comes out. I've seen all the figs in the stores when they were first released (except the Jungle BAT), but I convinced myself "You dont need those. Just concentrate on fixing and replacing your vintage collection." But after seeing the Jungle BAT with its gatling gun, I thought "I'd like one of those to put on the shelf."... Now I'm finding myself looking at the PoC series and some of the 25th series going "You know, some of those figs are pretty nice. I'd like to have them." So now I'm in a constant arguement in my head over whether to try to track down figures, or just let them go. Anyone else ever have this problem?

I may have some 25th or POC figures I could part with if you have some vintage stuff you're willing to part with.

Not looking to part with any of the vintage toys since they are all the toys I had as a kid. Have a bit of sentimental value.

I just buy everything as it comes out in order to avoid this problem.

I love the poc stuff and am in the same boat about not getting them when I saw most of the line in the wild.
I did get moneybags destro, but opened him cause. I was sure he was goin to be like Artic destro and I'd see me everywhere. Sigh. |

Back when 25th was out, I used to buy them by the case. Now because of my finances, I really have to pick and choose the figure that I like and not what's popular. I have seen and passed on a Jungle BAT and Zombie Vipers several times. I have also seen a whole set of Dollar General Joes when they were hard to find and also passed on it.
Right now the only two that I am actively looking for is POC Hawk and Renegades Storm Shadow.

All life is is wants, whether is gijoe or anything. We kick ourselves for buying it, or kick ourselves for not buying it. Nothing but a big game of the run around................
