It's really odd with me, because I am still a staunch supporter of 3.75" SW figures and only collect TVC (been collecting SW since 1981 and started up again in summer '95 when the PotF2 line debuted). I dabbled in TBS when it first hit for a year or so (only collected OT figures), but I quickly lost interest and dumped my 6" SW collection.
GI Joe on the other hand, was a completely different story. I had no interest in the ME stuff anymore and by the time Classified hit, I was all ready to get 6" G.I. Joe figures. I still love my o-rings, but for some reason G.I. Joe was great to see in the bigger 6" scale. Not sure why 6" didn't resonate with me with Star Wars? Maybe it's a testament to how well-done Classified is? I really don't know. but i've collected 5poa star wars since potf2 then took a hiatus until tvc (which is modern sculpt). im not a champion of 5poa, but that was pretty much the only choice for the star wars stuff i have, potf2 and the modern 5poa star wars. |

I still love the old O-ring figures from the 80s and hope those make it back in stores. I know modern retail would never support a vehicle driven line like we had in the 80s but I wonder why Hasbro hasn’t given us a GI Joe line similar to Star Wars Mission Fleet. I think such a line could be really incredible and fun for Army Building. I have not posted in this forum in ages. Has this been discussed here?

I did not collect very much of anything from that line, but I still have the Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank from that Mission Scale series, at retail November 2006.
