The themes are uninspired, but I guess they appeal to some. I'm surprised Special Missions Brazil wasn't revisisted sooner.
And the Joes are at least part of the main set, not just Cobra/Enemy characters.
But, they didn't add much beyond 2 foreign character guest stars. You know, maybe add Python Patrol members or Brazil team members? Maybe the souvenirs will. It just seems like they stuck to the retro box, aside from some color scheme changes, which actually some people didn't want.
They can lazily do 25th versions of ARAH releases for the next few years. Night Force's roster, the Marauders, Tiger Force, whatever...without adding anything to the mythos. What made some past Con sets appealling, (even to some cheap collectors like me) were new ideas/new or unmade characters/teams.
I've never gotten a con set, only a few after market figures. So, it's not like I'm the target audience anyway.
