The Stinger used to outsell the Vamp all the time though. It was always hard to get, so seeing it go on clearance prices like that makes me wonder what happened to the fanbase. Whether it's big or small, shouldn't it still have sold well if the fanbase remained the same? I know that Hasbro doesn't expect people to army build their 1:12 stuff like they did with 1:18 and retail has tamped down vehicle orders hardcore.
And i own bigger vehicles than that, doubles of some... in 1:18. I don't buy any vehicles for 1:12, because I don't play with 1:12 like i do with 1:18. I mean, I rarely even buy more than 1 of army buildable figs in 1:12, whereas almost every army buildable Cobra character in 1:18 i've bought at least 3 of (i think i've maxed out at 15).
And quite frankly, I don't actively buy modern GI Joes. I only buy favorites.. unless I think Mezco will make one. So the only favorites i don't own are Major Bludd and Cobra commander, because Mezco still hasn't made them.
Maybe if Mezco makes Cobra army builders, I'd own two Officer/Infantry/Alley/Range/Vipers

The vast majority of /toy/ who army built (or at least the ones that took pictures) actually played with their toys. I army build, play, and, I swap my displays a couple times a year.
