Hey guys,

I didn't read a topic on this before, but I want to hear your comment about that. The 25th ann. figs are different from the vintage. You may like them or not (I'm still on the vintage figs) but they have a different size and mold. BUT, the 25th ann. vehicles are pretty much the same as the vintage one, with the characteristics of been:

• improved,
• not expensive,
• complete,
• in box,
• with filecard,
• brand new (no wear, no stress mark, etc.),
• not broken,
• not rusty,
• not dusty from storage.

Why would you pay $20 for a vintage RAM, $40 for a vintage VAMP, $80 for a vintage Rattler when you can get them half price for a very very very similar version?

I sold pretty much all my vehicles 5 years ago... I still have a Skyhawk, APC, ASP, Flak and some SNAKEs. Now, with the new 25th ann. line, I bought a lot of vehicles for more than half price I sold my vintage.

Do you think the price of vintage vehicles will (or already) collapse? Are you scared to see the next new vehicules Hasbro will introduce on the market? I know, collecting toys in more than an acquisition cost. But when you paid 1 year ago a Stinger Jeep $60, and you now know you will be able to get a brand new one very soon for what... $19.99? it is sometime frustrating...

What do you think?

Just listed a bunch of vintage vehicles complete and incomplete.

Just a reminder that we ship free within Canada on orders over $113.00

Did you increase it, because your site still says: Free shipping for orders over $105.00?

This is not a secret at all... some vintage Joe parts and accessories are really hard to find. I'm thinking about:

• 1983 APC seat belts
• 1985 EELS mouthpiece
• 1985 Moray Hydrofoil spolight lens
• 1985 Snow Serpent missile stand
• 1985 Dusty bipod
• 1985 Heavy-Metal mic
• 1987 Falcon antenna
• etc.

Even on eBay, those parts and accessories don't show up very often... So, what do you do to remplace them? Have you find a good remplacement part that works pretty good like the original?

For example, I replaced the accessories below by:

• 1985 EELS air nose --> I used a 1986 Wet-Suit black mouthpiece (but I still prefer the original EELS part...)
• 1985 Dusty bipod --> I used Marauder John FAMAS Assault Rifle (my best $1 investment!)
• 1985 Heavy-Metal mic --> one of my friend used Marauder John Helmet mic
• 1987 Falcon antenna --> I used a black paper clip cut in half (it looks really great!)

But I'm still looking for replacement tips for others. Any ideas?

Thanks to all,

Martin
