***MULTI OPTION POLL***
Since 2009, The GI Joe Collector's Club has been allowing us collectors to fill in the gaps of our ME collections that Hasbro has decided not to. Some ranked better than others. Some were major wins, while others were straight up loses. Which ones are your favorites? This poll does allow you to make multiple choices besides just one choice, just in case you may like all of them just the same. Now I know that the new set in not yet "in hand" but just judge by the images you've seen so far. Plus, I've added the images of each Joe Con set below. And what I forgot was that the Club didn't put out a ME style Joe Con set in 2010. It was mainly Adventure Team stuff, so I'm not going to count them as they were not a full Con set. So vote away my friends! 2009 Crimson Strike 2011 Mission Brazil II 2012 Operation Bear Trap 2013 Nocturnal Fire 2014 Zombie Initiative 2015 Tiger Force vs Iron Grenadiers Last edited by sbartek1974; 03-11-2015 at 08:20 PM.. |

I have not been lucky enough to aquire any con sets, and last years set was the first I really wanted, until this years reveal. This years set looks like best con set ever.

Seems like a lot of people are Ranking the Mission Brazil 2 set really low on their list. I know alot of the molds are outdated but I still think its the best Con set to date. Not to mention i am pretty sure its still the most valuable. I have all 5 ME sets so far. Granted i still do not have TF vs IG in hand so we shall see but My list would be....
1 Mission Brazil 2 2 Nocturnal fire 3 Beartrap 4 zombie initiative 5 Crimson Strike 6 TF vs IG.

I gotta go with Nocturnal Fire...has the most awesome figures in there, even Spearhead looks great in spite of the droopy eyes. Hit N' Run though is the weakest link in the set.

Hard to say between Nocturnal Fire and Operation Bear Trap. Those are the two best sets by far.
Mission Brazil and Zombie are second tier. This year's falls behind, but the Crimson Strike Team is the bottom of the poll for me. |

1 Mission Brazil 2 2 Nocturnal fire 3 Beartrap 4 zombie initiative 5 Crimson Strike 6 TF vs IG. I guess part of it depends on if we are rating based on current likability, or based on how it was received at the time. There are definitely a few nice figures in it... but I believe it is the molds that give it the low ranking at this point. Plus the desirability of some of the characters may be reduced by other figures that have been released... Sparta isn't as necessary when you have Cover Girl, Claymore is basically a Footloose with older parts, we have a new improved Leatherneck. And the Cobras were pretty weak... lame Python Patrol repaints of the old clunky trooper mold. It's just not as attractive a set as it was when it was released. |

I'm surprised to see the Crimson Strike set ranked so low.
That's one I missed out on. I'd like to get a set bagged or loose without paying through the nose.

The Vipers are really cool (the reddish arms can mostly be overlooked), but I just don't know that most of us really need 12 of them. It makes the set kind of boring when most of it is just duplicates of the same figure. I think the army builders being 3x makes much more sense. |

Zombie Initiative is GOAT to date.
Runner up is Nocturnal Fire. |

Looking at the sets as a whole, I had to vote for the Crimson Strike set. That filled out all the figures you needed, you didn't need to scrounge for any others in con sets or an FSS. It was just self contained.
I first thought that I'd vote for the Mission Brazil 2, but the only figures that I liked in that were Wet Suit and the Snake Eyes thing. Whatever it's called. So if I had any advice for the club, it's to make the sets complete. Pick a theme and the fill it. |
