I live in Canada , so buying anything from the club tends to cost a foretune....not in exchange(which is currently bad), but in shipping costs. I have found it easier to buy the FSS I have( a very selective few...by cost), through online sales.
As for the toyline, I am OK for it going towards the kids( I was one when I loved/love this toyline). So what if we will be more selective about what GI Joe toys we will buy, as long as we are given an option at all.
With the GI Joe comic books, I have several points against IDW's format of publishing.
1) They print their comics in Korea...??? This pisses me off to NOOOO end...as I live in a country that has a slightly troubled logging industry( as I'm sure the USA has troubles with as well). We also have many people out of quality work in the last decade, a better printing industry might help the overall economy with a small shot in the arm. Seems to me if you market something towards a Western world market...you would have a better time selling stuff to the western world market, if you would keep the dollars circulating in the same said market.
I refuse to buy any IDW product on these grounds, and I did buy the 1st ten issues of the GI Joe A.R.A.H. larry Hama book untill I reaad where they were published( I even think I may have enjoyed them).
2) IDW publishes way too many joe books at one time. I have a decent regular job, but that doesn't mean I can or want to buy 3 GI Joe books a month. If they put out 1 book a month, and combined the stories from 3 separate storylines in 1 book, maybe it would be worth buying...maybe, if for me, the 1st IDW qualm didn't exsist. Heck, to stress my point...I am a way bigger Deadpool fan than I am of GI Joe( which I love to death), and even with Deadpool, I buy just 1 of his books per month( and those are generally way better than any of the GI Joe books).
3) I was going to go into another, but the 1st 2 rants against IDW have sapped my legermain abilities for now
