GI Joe Classified- Rating every figure released from worse to best

[@jeremymcmillion6671]

I'm 48. Collecting this line is nostalgic for me 2.

[@goofygamers177]

Same here. I stopped collecting GI Joes around 7th grade and got into Basketball and girls lol. But I loved going to Toys r US and buying Joes for ($5 a pop). I always tended to like the Cobras over the good guys lol.

So I am buying doubles of everything and 6-7 of each army builders and they are taking up a lot of room in my game room, now I am thinking of only keeping 00-100 in the box and then opening the double of everything after 100. I know this video was 6-months ago, have you changed your mind about keeping them in box at the rate they are releasing them?

[@goofygamers177]

I’m glad they stayed in the boxes still. I have a pretty big game room where they are stored and man they take up a lot of space. I do really enjoy looking at the box art every time I’m down there through. I think you have a good strategy too. You can make a really nice display that way especially with all the vehicles coming.

[@goofygamers177]

Yeah I really debated on getting those.

[@salvation7362]

I'm 50 and just started collecting this line a little over a month ago. It's been tricky tracking down some of the exclusives (and expensive) but I've managed to collect 48 boxed (51 figures total with multi-packs) with another 9 boxed (10 figures with a multi-pack) on pre-order. Still haven't decided on whether or not I'm going to fund the Dragonfly yet... I'd really like to see all 3 extra figures unlocked to make it more of a value. Stuff ain't cheap up here in Canada and with currency exchange, taxes and duty it will be very pricey. Figures cost 35.99+ here and ToyRUs charges 44.99 for the Target exclusives since we don't have Target stores up here. It's brutal trying to buy freaking toys in 2023, a kid would have to work a 40/h week job to afford this stuff! 😂

[@goofygamers177]

The hunt in some ways, is part of the fun. When I switched my mindset from collecting only the figures I wanted to getting them all I knew it was going to be pricey. The worst case of this was when I bought Duke- wow $$$. I think he cost close to what I paid for Serpentor. This is definitely not a kid’s hobby lol. As adults we also have to consider storage and that’s mainly why I’m leaving in boxes. Sounds like you have a nice collection going. On the dragonfly I’ll just say if you change your mind after the campaign, price will be bad but if you buy it and don’t want it - getting your money back probably won’t be an issue. Thanks.

[@zerovalon6243]

Go check out a Ross if you can. I've been finding them there for about 5.99 each. Larger packs like the snake eyes with brown pants and timber go for about 11.99.

[@MadThanos79]

The 05 Scarlett you have is the redeco. And I'm like you, started last July with a retro cardback Lady Jaye I saw at my local comic shop. To cut a long story short, from choosing a few of them I ended up collecting every single release today. I open them though. Even the rare most expensive ones! I'm 44 and I am reliving my childhood with this line.

[@goofygamers177]

I wasn’t going to get any card backs but the cardback Gung-Ho was so much better than the boxed one. All together I’ve gotten 4 cardbacks and opened all of them. I really wish they’d release more vehicles. I’m with you definitely reliving my childhood, just need a motorized tank ASAP.

I was around when this line started, when they released the Snake eye for like $40. I had it in my cart and said "NAAAAAH, You collect masterpiece transformers, no need to start another collection" , and I refused to engage. Now a year or whatever later, I'm playing catch up and a lot of stuff I want is no longer around ( but im hearing some things sold out almost immediately). Im trying to stick strictly to Sunbow designs. For that reason I'm not fully sold on Duke and Scarlet. I also skipped Dusty and Falcon for that reason, but I saw an aftermarket where someone took off dustys head and redid (removed paint, etc.) it to look more falcon like. I'm going to have to start looking for these in the wild at discounts. Im going to see if people are successfully taking these figures apart, so repaints may be in the future.
