Dear Hasbro,

I would like to express my extreme displeasure with a recent experience at Joecon. I purchased a new, in the box product that has broken upon my attempt to assemble it. Now, I know this Ninja Cycle is a rare and expensive piece and I feel that I should he compensated the fair market value of at least 2.35$ all those with me, please join in. I am saddened and severely disappointed by the lack of quality on my 28 year old toy.

Yours truly,
Black Llama.

The Club is already trademarking that for future line problems. ;)

I can not believe you spent $2.35 on that cycle. You need you head examined.

Just pose Storm Shadow next to it. You can say he took it apart with a few well placed kicks and chops.

This thread makes me smile. It's kinda like a letter to Santa. It's got great intentions but you know that in the end, it's written to someone who doesn't even exist.

i think boycotting hasbro and completely stopping gi joe collecting all together is the only reasonable course of action.

I bet if you make a signature where you refer to them as "Hasblow" that'll really get them!

Old, brittle plastic is F'N bogus!

Fix that, Hasbro! Make our toys last 50 years, will ya?


Seriously, though....breaking tabs on old stuff like that is a real bummer. I broke some tabs taking apart an old Moray a while back and it really did bum me out.

Eh, break off the other fork, remove the rear wheel, repaint and you have 2013 Clone Wars Bounty Hunter Speederbike.
