Just because the exclusives are so damned expensive and be damned if I'm gonna pay US$170+ for a $10 Bazooka repaint.

I realize this an old thread but I'm pretty new here and music is always in my life. So I had to share as this didn't warrant a new thread.

Sacrifice from Scarborough, Ont is #1. REANIMATED!!!!!!!!
Symphony X, George Strait, Simon and Garfunkel, Danny Elfman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steel Panther, Within Temptation, Venom, Exploited, Chopin, Dixie Chicks, Celtic Frost.
Throw my Ipod on random and stand back
I listen to damn near anything that has guitar in it. Orchestra too.

Utopia by Within Temptation really swims in my head a lot.
I catch myself humming Fireball by Pitbull lately.

My youngest told me this: "Music is like candy. You throw away the rappers."

That's good news indeed. I'm on the edge of leaving the hobby but if Hasbro comes back to the table and says they still have plans for Joe that might keep me around a bit longer.

That's always been a weird mentality to me. If they stopped making G.I. Joe I'd still always be a part of the hobby. Just maybe not spending so much $$$ on it. I guess for some people a collection that doesn't grow isn't interesting?

Not really. I'm all around loosing interest in toy collecting. Every time there is new Joe news it makes me go"Oh? What's going on?" but every time it seems to have less and less impact. I use to tell my wife everything Joe related but now I hardly mention it. Dalton has no desire to play with it except maybe the odd animal, so the idea of sharing the hobby with my son isn't likely to become a reality. Some times I think the collection looks cluttered and then I start thinking "If I sold all this stuff I could pay off my house and buy a new vehicle".

I totally missed the big toy show this year. I didn't find out about it until a few weeks later. BTW, that new Devastator looks neat.

So when I hear Hasbro is going to be there it makes me go "Oh, I wonder what they have planned" but at a more causal pace.

I understand your thinking. I was excited to introduce my son to GI Joe when he was young (early 2000's) and when he lost interest and found his own thing I kind of stepped away until 2008 when the nostalgia bug hit, then I went nuts and went after as much modern era stuff I could find. Now I just plug holes in the 82-89 ME line up, mostly by making customs.
 
The new comics still keep me interested though. So when Hasbro has something to show, I'm always keen to see if there will be any product that will fill a hole or that I can use to make something to fill a hole. Honestly, I just hope Hasbro finds something that will attract a new generation to Joe.

Ordered from guru planet. They're a little pricey but he's the only one I really want so it's still cheaper than a full set.

Not going, it's just too damn expensive. Not even getting a set this year because it'll cost around $500 for the set after exchange rate and customs and that's not even including shipping. Plus other than lifeline, wreckage and recondo, the rest are too lacklustre to me and I was actually excited for this set. Other than the headsculpt on metalhead, I find him meh at best.
