« on: April 08, 2014, 09:51:02 PM »FLAME ON!
I once considered buying modern Joes. Then I did some math.
Between '82 and '84 Hasbro released 52 figures.
In 2007 alone they released nearly 60.
Between '82 & '00 there were 6 versions of Storm Shadow. There have been 39 since.
Look guys, Don't get me wrong here.
I grew up with and loved the vintage gi joes to DEATH. They where a;ways my favorite figures growing up.
I was even fortunate enough to have a job @ 19-20 years old @ a second hand store, and they had TON"S and TON"S of vintage figures coming through the doors every other day. ( Nobody that worked there had ANY idea what these things where worth (half the time i could go home with a bag full ( 30 figures or so ) of vintage MOTU, STAR WARS, GI JOE, exctra, exctra + some mixed weapons from each) for 3$.
THE POINT OF THE STORY: I couldn't see myself investing that much time and money, into looking for and collecting small black hoses, grey ( not black ) guns, missles, and so on of all the parts and peaces and vehicles and figures !!!!! Man, that is a monumental task and i applaud you guys for taking it on.
I just said F-it. Im just gonna collect modern 25th. Not just because it was easier, but because i also wanted to collect MOSC. I could have gone the vintage rout but i like to be able to afford more then one figure every 3 months.
Anyway, to each his own. @ the end of the day there's not much of us left.
I hope each and everyone of you get your GI joe holly grails.
PEACE
Between '83 and '00 there were 8 versions of Duke. There have been 42 since.
Between '82 & '00 there were 10 versions of Snake Eyes. There have been 56 since.
And counting....

Yes they are, so much so that it gives me a headache to think of trying to collect them. That is why i stay away from vintage stuff altogether, and i urge all my friends on joecanuck to do the same. It is a known FACT that your life will be simplified by 68% if you only collect, Modern gi joe figures and vehicles from 2007 and newer.

« on: April 06, 2014, 05:10:22 PM »
wow that only makes them an average of 40$ per figure in the set. Not to bad considering each one in itself is an exclusive.
I have seen that set before, funny i always thought the figures where O-ring style.
Now that i see there 25th style. Nevermind my friend. I want one.

If it was my collection, i would display them with the full set of dark/grey ones you already have, and not worrie too much about the black weapons. I would just keep the black weapons aside for now. Your going to eventually find your full set of black weapons in the bottom of boxes from lots of loose vintage you buy Eventually...Hopefully..Eventually...

These figures are very nice. But i can see how some people are on the fence about ordering, especially with this stretch goal system for accessories set up the way it is.
For example: If i was only interested in ordering 6 urban ops marauders. That would run $118 inculding shipping. ( Great deal )
But if i want the matching grey/blue accessories for an additional $15 you have to wait till the stretch goal reaches 120 K. And if you wait till then to purchase you wont get any of the free stuff when a goal becomes unlocked.
Some people might not want to shell out $ 118 for figures with just a chance of getting the accessories they want.
They have already sold 62 k worth. There's probly another 60 k waiting to be had just from the people that are on the fence. I think, that the sales amount will creep up slowly over the next 2 weeks, and then once the stretch goals for the artic figures and black night ops stuff becomes unlocked, watch out! There gonna exceed there final stretch goal. I hope they do anyway.
