GI JOE 30th Anniversary

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Pick up the Skystriker at Target yesterday. I like how they give you different decal options like using the Original Airforce symbol or the new Gi Joe Logo. Wish it has still a 2 seater though. The new Cpt Ace looks great.

Also finally found differnt Joe other than Snow Destro, shirtless Stormshadow and Zartan. I picked up Low Light

I saw it as well. Didn't realize it was no longer a two seater though. That sucks.

Actually the box art is misleading. Because it shows it is a two seater. As a matter a fact, the image of the Skystriker you see in the box is simply a repainted Original Skystriker. If you still have the original, when you compare the new one with the original there are obvious changes between the 2. However if you compare the original with the one they show on the box, all the details match exactly, the most obvious being the 2 seats.

If you add Coppertone Zartan to that, you've got pretty much the entire West Coast you can add into that equation.

I've been seeing a lot of wave 1 lately. Recondo, Beach, FF, etc. They must be ditching old stock in order to make room for the 30th anni. stuff in the warehouses.

I was looking at it again tonight and the box definitely shows two seats in the cockpit. Damn shame. Still $35 is a lot cheaper than I expected.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I'm hoping the Skystriker sells like gangbusters so Hasbro will hopefully release medium size RAH era vehicles. I'd love another crack at a Tomahawk.

Playsets are a thing of the past as far as Hasbro is concerned I think. The closest we get to play sets nowadays are those cardboard backgrounds

Well they did release this back in 2009:

and this in 2003:

So Hasbro does throw out a bone every couple of years.

I remember getting the MCC for Christmas back in '87 and thinking it was the biggest toy ever made

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Yeah I got the pit, paid $50 shipped.

I wasn't collecting Joes at the time of Joe vs Cobra. I wouldn't mind them retooling it so it can better house the new figures.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

^^^ I remembering seeing the Pitt at Walmart on clearance for 30$ and I still passed on it mainly because I was extremely put off by the movie.

I am a MISB collector, so I couldn't run the risk of waiting for clearance. It was the only thing from the ROC line I bought...I do still want to get a couple things but I am not being a completist anymore, just too much stuff, not enough display room. I already have 60+ MOC 25th ann figures that I want to display, I can't justify buying another 30+ figures that I really do not want, just cuz I have OCD


I didn't hate the movie, didn't love it either, had it's good moments, like Snake Eyes, Baroness, the Paris scene was cool, and just the fact that I have been waiting for a Joe movie for so long!

The new one is looking promising because of some good actors attached and my second favorite G I Joe character will be in it..>Firefly!!
