well, there are still hardcore fans of the dolls from the 60's, so you never know. Maybe GI Joe will get big enough during the movie to have a following by todays kids. They are planning on a cartoon and a new comic later this year.

We are the generation with best decade(80's) and the coolest toys. We didn't have playstation, XBox and the internet. We had He-men, Silverhawks, thundercats, Joes and Transformers. We didn't have those weird card games like pokimon, yugi-oh and digimon. We had baseball cards. And for most of us , we dind't have cable or satelite. So we had our cool cartoons and our cool toys . We loved them then and we love them even more now. Kids now can't appreciate it. Why play with toys when you can play xbox live? I think we will be the last generation to really do this because we love our hobby.

I think it's already died, I mean I grew up with "G.I. Joe A Real American Hero," emphasis on American. Then they just diluted it with 'international heroes' and now some of the 25th cards don't even have the ARAH tagline. Will the movie? I know at first the movie was going to be 'international.' Joe is what made me want to be a Marine in the first place... But no matter what the next generations think of it, I know what it meant to me as a kid. Yo Joe forever!

I agree, the kids today will not give the Joes the attention we did back in the 80's. Kids will still buy them but not as much as we did back then. Heck I remember going into TRU,KB and Wally and seeing tons of Joes sitting on the shelves and pegs. Now it is just a row or two and hardly no vehicles. It is just not the same.
