LETS GO RANGERS !
Red and white once again! We've restored the classic look of JoeCanuck.
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....
