This is what I consider the ModernEra stuff (25th anniversary, RoC, PoC, 30th anniversary, Retaliation)

New Sculpt Era (Joe Vs Cobra, Spytroops, Valor Vs Venom, DTC)

ARAH (Vintage 82-94, ARAH Collection 97-2002, ARAH repaints that were available during the New Sculpt Era ie. Toys R Us 6-packs..comic 3-packs etc..)

..and you have the other lines that I don't really consider a part of the main series (Sgt Savage, Extreme, Sigma 6, Kre-O and all those babyish lines..

Where is the like button?  ;D

I like the sigma six stuff. I wish i was collecting when it was available to be bought in zellers and wallmart. Its the only line i like actually having loose....They come with soooooo much weapons and stuff.  I got about 8 figures, second hand so im misssing a lot of accessories.  Figure i would like to have most is Roadblock with his Gigantic gattling gun.

I really like the Pursuit of Cobra stuff. There are some fantastic updates to classic characters and a couple new guys: Jungle Viper and Shadow Tracker.

It was the first set since VvV that didn't feel like a nostalgia trip. G.I. Joe is above that as a toy line.

Why do I keep having to resist the urge to answer with "Same thing we do every night, Pinky..." ;)

POC was a great line.  A fine update.  That Beach Head still warms my heart!  And the Jungle Duke was a great idea for dealing with multiple versions of the same character.

I agree P.O.C is an awesome line. I had a chance to buy 15 to 20 figures when they where @ zellers on the pegs for 11.99$ each. Crazy legs, dusty, doc i think ?, jungle bat and others. I was just so brainwashed by 20 yrs of what a g.i joe should look like. And they didn't look like. I was like "" phhhht, this line ain't going no where but down ""  Oh how i was wrong !!!!!

Lets just chalk this one up to woulda, coulda , shoulda.

Or break out the NO button. Your choice...?
