Mysterious Stranger Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Makes me wonder why they haven't done similar "Class of" sets for Joe Kreons. Has the Joe brand really sunk so low? Its not the brand, its the collectors. Joe collectors really didn't grab on to the Kre-O stuff as much as Transformers fans have. But man I'd be all over "Class Of" sets for G.I. Joe.

arnim zola Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It might be the brand, or hasbro ineptitude. the media presence for transformers has been solid for transformers between the mindless movies and the various cartoon iterations, Joe has been lacking media for a good long while and the fact that the last movie got pushed back so the movie toys came out almost a year ealry didnt help. Im a joe and TF fan, and there is nothing there to psyche me up about buying joes right now and there hasnt been since the 20 or 25th anniversary figs and dvd rereleases. They are definitely trying harder with marvel figs than they are their own GI Joe brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I think G.I. Joe building block sets would have been much better served if they were designed more like the Mega Bloks Call of Duty line. I certainly wouldn't have been able to resist picking up a few key vehicles if they were done that way. It's a shame because G.I. Joe is really the ideal property for building blocks with all of the vehicles and playsets to choose from. I'm not a huge Joe fan but Hasbro's mismanagement of the property over the past few years has been pretty depressing to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Agreed on all points. And yes, the "Class of..." Joe packs would have sucked me right the heck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Doesn't appear to be selling very quickly. If we hadn't just spent 2 of the last 3 weeks on vacation I'd be tempted to get another just to armybuild the IGs. I did put together the Triple T and its a fun build. I'm torn on the printed bricks though. On one hand I know they'll last longer than stickers. On the other I'd like to use those bricks for something else and the printing limits their usability. But still a cool set. Also the figs are packaged on a collector friendly cardback/bubble. The cardback slides off the bubble allowing you to put them back later if you so choose.

hellpop Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Still not sold out. I have a bunch of these, in a box, and I'm tempted to get this set. Grrrrr what to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modefan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I like the 2nd set better than the 1st. The 1st one had very sloppy paint apps IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
