You said it Frank. I'm just about ready to walk away. I don't read the comics, the movie is going to suck big time, and now there's no toys left to buy. The entire line could get canned now and I wouldn't even care.

I DON'T BLAME YOU I HAVE PURCHASED THE LAST OF THE COLLECTORS CLUB FIGURES THAT I WANTED. AND I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR MUCH OF THE NEWER DTC MOLDS BUT EXCEPT FOR A FEW. I WASN'T GOING TO GET THIS YEARS ACTION TEAM SET BUT NOE I MAY JUST FOR THE LAST OF THE RAH MOLD SETS. WHAT DO YOU THINK. A.T. REALLY ISN'T MY THING.

I say thee NAY!!!!

I actually felt this way about a year ago seriously. Then I heard an awesome quote from Dion "With Rock N' Roll after you have been doing it for a bit you can do one of 5 things, You can die, You can burn out, You can go 100% commercial, You can leave showbiz all together, or you can realize that Rock N roll is something very powerfull and can convey strong feelings and stores and can become very fullfilling even if what others call success never reaches you and no matter what it is that brought you there, if you stick with it, it will return to you believe me."

That quote stuck with me for about a month, and then it hit me that Joes were burning out and I needed to do something, I had been consintrating on GI Joe soley since 2002 and needed something more, I expanded my horizons without losing sight of my Joes at the same time. That which brought me to the dance reemerged and I am much much happier with what I do now.

I say to the rest of you who are feeling burned out, step back take a breath and re-evaluate your stances, that doesn't mean accept crap (like this con set). But a con set shouldn't make you want to quit all together.

As for the set, Stupid MC shines again.

Thumbs down

This is one huge stab in the back . I'm not even going to list all the problems with this since it's already been done enough times already. Worst set ever.

Very doubtful.
The "Crimson" set is probably to commemorate the Club's switch to 25th Anniversary constructions.

Who knows... two years from now the sets may be back to ARAH styles if the fan reaction to 25th Anniversary Con exclusives turn out to be overwhelmingly negative (which it appears to be thus far).

I think they would've been better off going RED SHADOWS even if it was in 25th style. I figure the same thing that happened to the Con with the MOTH set's gonna happen to them again.

But remember this, it'll be YOUR fault, not theirs even though they went away from their bread and butter as well as re-hashing something that was new and exciting 7 years ago.

Red face lovely

lovely... so we get reintroduced an old concept with new sculpt 25th designs.. why dont they just tell us they've ran out of ideas and want to ride on the popularity of the movie..
yawn..
I'll probably get into the 25th line when it's ironed out its imperfections.. and hasbro will deliver on their promise.. .... which could be some considerable time...

As a 25th collector, I have absolutely zero intrest in the con set, and I am one who buys everything! I will not pay that price even for a well thought out set of 25th figures. I am in agreement that the convention sets should be for the old schoolers. Unfortunately as seen with the comic con exclusives the collectors will be all over these like it was the cure for cancer! My simpathy to you all
