So I got an email from Smalljoes this morning. I found it very interesting that although hasbro told us last week that they are ramping up production that companies still can't get the products they order.
See message below: Things have been somewhat quiet with GI JOE lately. Hasbro isn't shipping much merchandise right now. Wave 5 ('08) single-carded figures will hopefully arrive this month. Hasbro seems to be significantly slipping again in meeting demand. Hopefully, we'll also have a restock of the vehicles and some previously sold-out 25th Anniversary single-carded figures this month or early next. It'll likely all land around the same time. |

I too was wondering why SmallJoes.com didn't get the W5,08 shipments in. Thanks for sharing the info!

Yeah, I also remember the "Hasbro is ramping up production" spiel late last year. The Crimson Twins will believe it when they see it.
They do not appear impressed. |

not surprising. despite the claim of ramped up production, wave 9 seems impossible to find. words vs. action...

hasbro will not ever increase production because they feel the lack of product and rabid fan demand keep the line hot. they think if they load the shelves the interest will wain
