I was thinking about how several figure lines have been doing the build a figure as a way to sell more toys and produce larger figures they normally wouldn’t get to retail. Hasbro/GI Joe has kinda’ dipped their toes in with the MASS Device DVD packs, but what if they did vehicle parts to build a Tank, Boat, ect.
Would you prefer buying Joes at a higher price point without the missile launchers if you could build a tank? (or boat, or plane, or whatever) I’m just curious what other people think. I like picking up Joes since they’re cheap, but at the same time I’ve a bucket of missile launchers that I think could have been tank parts to build something useful. Thoughts? Pluses, minuses? |

Why do we have to pay more? Just get rid of ridiculous stuff like the BFML like you said.
And maybe not build tanks, I'd prefer smaller stuff like mini-dioramas. Each fig could come with a piece to build a jail-cell or an office or something. |

I don't think build-a-tank would work, but if they had done Build-a-SNAKE Armor you would have a bucket full of awesome that wouldn't have cost Hasbro any more $$ to package...

what if we ended up just like ''best of the 80's''?
everyone with a near complete MASS device, and the line goes away, leaving everyone P.O'd and wondering what to do.... the idea of ''build a snake armor would be awesome, or mabye a pac rat..... keeping them small would be the way to go.... your move hasbro!!!!

I still say that snake armor is hideous, why does everyone like it so much? xP
But yeah, that would still be better than the missile launchers |

Me personally, i still remember watching The M.A.S.S. Device for the first time, and watching those SNAKE Armors spin out at Snake-Eyes. Very Cool!

With their poor track record with distribution on the DVD pack and then add in the amount of people that troop build, I would not want this. My $0.02

I'm just imagining "hypothetically” they’d bump the price up a buck or so with the extra plastic/ cost of plastic/ fan demand as possible factors.

I don't want to be negative, but if they really did this i think we would end up with a "Fan Choice" Mole Pod or "Fan Choice Classic" Buzz Boar...
