PTE vs GI Joe

The only reasons I could possibly see why people wouldn't get 1/18 vehicles is because they don't have the room for them. If they're like me and missed out on when that stuff when it was blissfully cheap then obviously price would also be an issue.
the original reason i passed (so regrettably) on the 1:18th stuff was that i was passing on ALL 1:18th vehicles (aside from diecast cars i collected)...i was only getting the vehicle drivers thru trades at HT...then one day, i finally picked up a AWE Striker cause its such a cool little buggy...then a Trouble Bubble, CLAW, Vamp, etc etc...it just got of control...by then, the good stuff was gone from stores...
I've reflecting on what the stores were like back when the 25th stuff was new and on the shelves. With the exception of GI Joe not being on alot of the wal-mart shelves I suppose one could argue that things aren't much different. After the 5 pack sets sold and single figures and vehicles hit the shelves I found myself having to go out of town to find diversity. It was the ROC stuff that kind of spoiled me, finding Pitt commandos, agent helix, desert ambush duke, city strike snake eyes, for five dollars was awesome. Unfortunately I did bother getting all the blue uniform joes because I either didn't like their face (cover girl, breaker) or I already had them (Scarlett, Zartan). I think those Joes would have made been well suited as being navy personal on the Flagg.
Of course all the Neo-vipers, storm shadow repaints, and overproduced destros and baronesses are still warming pegs. They're kind of like cholesterol that has built up in blood veins, preventing the flow of newer and better things.
