I myself, was really into collecting the modern figures up until the movie hit. I bought the first 3 waves of movie figures and haven't bought anything else since. I guess I got caught up in the nostalgia of the 25th anniversary line. I was wondering if this has been a common occurance.
I am to the point where I am thinking about selling or trading my loose 25th joes for 80's ARAH figures. Anyone interested in trading? |

Nope, collecting even more Joe now. Have everything from the RoC line except for 3 of the 4 cancelled Target wave 3 deluxe sets and I wanted nothing to do with the RoC line at all, thought I'd save some $$$. That backfired!
Now, I've gone back and started going after all the 25th stuff including the Canadian carded figures and the Foil Embossed figures.

If anything, the plentifulness of the movie figs made me collect even more. At least with 25th there was the scarcity of army-builders keeping my ass in check. >_>

truthfully I'm pretty worn out on joe. I mean the 25th was a hell of a ride and after that treat, they give as that crap movie line for a year which I mostly avoided and after this short lull we are being coaxed again with great looking but pretty much un-inspired figures and vehicles with POC. I'm cherry picking at this point and will continue to until they decide to run a parallel line of classic styled figures. Then I will buy every damn thing that comes out again!
