I really hated ROC toys (loved the movie), but some of the newer stuff is pretty awesome. Charbroil, CS Snake Eyes (I know that's resolute), Night Adder, and Kamakura are a few examples of positive steps in the line. Is anyone else with me on this? GI Joe is turning the corner for me. We're getting the one thing all of us wanted from the movie: NEW JOES!!! Yeah, we have ugly packaging, but I'm an opener, so that doesn't matter. Yeah, they have spring loaded weapons they can't hold, but I don't have to display those. That's why I have a weapons storage bin! ROC is getting better by the day, and Pursuit of Cobra looks fantastic! What a great time to collect Joes. This is almost as fun as the 25th Anniversary!

I've liked several offerings of the ROC line, and they do tend to have their place on my shelves. Even though in the beginning I swore not to buy them, I find myself getting them just the same.

I initially got into the ROC line...Bought the first 36 figures. I lost interest due to slow/poor product placement. I frequent 9 area stores and have yet to see CE Snake Eyes, Dr. Rex, Kamakura, etc.

New toys for a new generation. I love the vintage/25th stuff more, but the ROC line brings us a modern version of our childhood heros. New toys = fun for the open collector.

I have liked the 'off screen' characters in this line much more than the figures actually featured in the movie. I am really excited for the POC stuff next year.
