Cool, I might just go for it. The nostalgia is creeping back into my veins....

I love the new figures. Now hopefully they sell and the line continues. GI Joe has been having it's ass handed to it as a toy line for quite awhile and I find that depressing.

Seriously, this is fantastic. Call me childish, but I am buying them and then playing war....gonna be fun times.

Also, are the vehicles being released as well? Oh man....the memories are flowing!

Nope. No vehicles just 25 figures...for now. I guess sales will dictate if the line continues. I know the new cartoon got cancelled and the Comic Book isn't selling all that great.

The majority of the figures look great, and I liked the display page (retro theme music!). I think when a Joe movie is green-lit, the nostalgia will kick in. The Transformers movie has certainly rebooted fan interest.
