Hasbro is infamous for unexpectedly pulling the plug on successful toy-lines in favor for other ones with a media-outlet(movie/cartoon) to back it up. The only time I've seen them revive a toy line is with Transformers Universe and they barely make any of those. Anyways, when the movie makes $150,000,000 + at the box office the toys will fly off the shelves at about $7.99 each for figures $20.00 for vehicles, $100 for the PIT.
Therefore, HASBRO, no longer has to cater to those who are in favor of the ARAH toy line. They already announced that they're focused on ONLY putting out movie merchandise for most of 2009. With the 7-packs being pushed out unexpectedly after they led us to believe that we would get Waves 14-16 this year, it leads me to believe that is their nice way of wrapping things up with us and focusing on making toys for a younger generation.
Don't be surprised if at the next convention this year, Hasbro representatives officially announce the cancellation of this particular line. In their minds they no longer need us to buy their product for future G.I. Joe toy lines to survive.
