The current franchise - everyone's opinions wanted!

Even with the best intentions in the world, they were always going to pick up the dregs of TFW; I wish them the best I just think that too many people there will simply be people that were pissed off at TFW - not necesarily the kind of people that will effectively start a nice community. And I'm most likely going to be buying some stuff from kapow soon enough; christmas presents etc.

I gave it a go - I was really looking forward to getting involved with and trying to co-ordinate something for the UK GI Joe community (Something I'm still very interested in and pro-active about). The guy running it, Andy, seemed really nice and KG and Ghosty were involved so I knew I had 'buddies', and I even won one of the first competitions... but I really wasn't feeling it. You get it with most hobbies unfortunately. It's caused by the sort of people who define their life by their hobby.

Does that mean you totally missed Gen 1? Talley you gotsta read the Gen 1 Tech specs, read Budiansky and Furmans comics, and watch the first cartoon series.

As for the newer Transformers... I'll probably stick with spending my finances on Joes... I do love me some Joe...
