Kids didn't seem to like these for some reason either. I've tried to figure out if it was the whole "no cartoon so no kid interest", but they had Transformer BTR too and they didn't sale. Granted the Transformer BTRs sucked, but still.
I liked them, but I felt they should have had flat pieces that would cover all the open pegs. The vehicles would have looked better if all of that was taken care of so it didn't look like a Lego vehicle with an action figure driving. I used to make Lego vehilces when I was younger for figures to ride in, but I would try and cover the pegs.
The main vehicle I wanted was the BTR HISS. It took me a while but I got it off Ebay. It's a pretty cool design. It's just the same thing, the pegs sticking up hurt the over all look.
It's simple as to why kids didn't like them: They aren't lego. And yes you covered that other problem, if they'd have made them joe figures driving megabloks style figures, that might have helped. But trying to compete with lego is uh, kind of foolish. And very hard to do when they've had a few generations worth of a head start...besides there's no GIJoeLand
