It was cool to get the older figures, even in some sort of odd colors. I had 1986 Roadblock but V1 had cooler gear I thought. <br /><br />I think Tiger Force got a bad rap in a sense. The figures were fine (I might even lke TF Flint and Lifeline better than the originals). There were too many Tiger Force vehicles, though, but that applies to 1988-1989 vehicles overall. No kid could collect 'em all, Hasbro may have considered it a vehicle line, but I think they over did it in terms of quantity.A-Mannoreply@blogger.com
