I like pre-assembled, plastic display window built in. That said, I would buy a retro vehicle just for the box art.

I do like putting them together. I never had any Joe toys as a kid (other than one BAT...haha), but I always liked putting the stickers on my TFs...best part about getting a new one.

I much prefer they come unassembled with a good quality sticker sheet. I like the box art, I have a few empty boxes just for the box art - and I like the vehicles too (they have to also have fully assembled pics on the back) but I like to have the option to paint them up and then apply the decals or not based on my preference. That's the way i feel now and I also fondly remember putting them together as a kid, it was part of the fun.

I want my Joe vehicles just like when I was a kid. Unassembeled, decals on a sheet with blueprints. A solid cardboard box is fine, clear window for the driver is cool but not every vintage vehicle had a window so I’m flexible on that.
Assembling Joe vehicles was like doing a level 1 model kit. I have many fond memories of putting my Joe vehicles together.

Kirk Bozigian discussed the reasoning behind adding more spring-loaded gimmicks to the vehicles in the 90s. He described the vehicles up until that point as "model-kits", which I guess implies they were boring.

As a kid, loved assembly, hated the stickers, always had my Dad put them on, he liked to do models and stuff, so that was good. Now I love doing both...

I like assembly myself, but that's just me. Stickers are always a pain, though.

I prefer to assemble mine. I’d be happy if I got a bag of screws and a set of instructions like a model kit.

I always liked assembling the vehicles with my dad. Some of my fondest childhood memories.
