This web site has 506 members. If everyone gave Joe a vote then we might make it on the board.

C'mon guys. This is the sort of thing places like TRU want to hear about. This might help us get more product on the shelves.

Where are the superheroes? I didn't see Mego or Super Powers on there.
So in absence of them, I voted Joe :)
Transformers would come in next in line for me.

There is only 1112 votes for the entire thing as I write this email.

Joe is at 15 votes.

Heck, "Etch a Sketch" is beating G.I. Joe.

I never heard of an "Etch a Sketch" convention.  :mrt:

I love Joe. They are the greatest dolls and action figures and play-friendly models (aka vehicles).

But really, Lego is for the whole family and has infinite possibilities.

Yeah, I think Lego is traditionally a much better toy. Even if they can barely make a set a year I want or find worth the extreme asking price, I will always be more fond of actually building my own stories from the ground up with my own inventions and creations.

i used to use my lego to build bases for my gi joes, and i would make the tanks and jeeps crash through the walls and stuff,or when someone launched a missile or toss a grenade make the walls fly apart.

I voted...  but it tells me there are only 3 votes for GI Joe... maybe there is a different count for the French side of the site...  ???

I think many of us probably did that. I'm sure that's how Built to Rule came about. I'm a little hazy on BTR so don't quote me on it.
