Ummm...
Look. We'd all probably like that, but a publicly-traded company can't go all in on any one product just because a few collectors want it. C'mon. There is waaay more competition for kids' attention today, between tangible and virtual product.
Hasbro has said they ARE working on a new approach for Joe, but their plans are not public info yet, hence the "Challenger" status. We have to be patient and see what comes down the pike.
I was not AT Hascon, nor would I attend at those prices, having been previously spoiled by the Joecon experience. But I wouldn't call it a slap in the face! It was a valiant attempt to do the most with a small budget (I assume) given to a Challenger brand. The missile command set was a unique throwback item that is clearly still in demand. The Revolution set included a Joe and used Joe parts for other figures. Many Joe legends were invited and attended--I'm guessing more than any of the other Hasbro products (no real knowledge on that, though). However, I'm confused why Kirk was not invited...
Again, my only issue is shutting down the Club. They can't touch the product/experience of Joecon...so if the plan is to hope for "homeless" Joecon fans to attend Hascon going forward, that is a wing and a prayer hope at the expense of getting product into fans' hands, keeping the fire for Joes stoked until new product inevitably hits.
