The closer it gets to movie time, the less that Hasbro gives a shit about what us "classic" collectors think or do. We'll pad their pockets for the next 6 months and then the movie crap will come out and they figure they'll have a legion of adoring 9 yr. olds that will usurp us as the ravenous joe fans (a'la the Transformers formula). Then after about 10 months or so of movie garbage clogging the pegs and getting clearanced out, they'll come back to the well to see if they can win us adult collectors back with more classic style product (a 'la the Transformers formula)

IJ got canned because there just wasn't enough people buying PERIOD, not just fans.

Did it ever occur to any of you that Hasbro wants to tell us, but if they told us everything, nothing would be a surprise. There would be nothing new to report at Joe Con or Toy Fair. No one would be interested in old news. Hasbro keeps us at attention and we all rush when there is new news going around. They know what they are doing. So we don't get much from the Q & A session. There will always be news right around the corner. I am not going to be coming down on Hasbro for these answers. They have given us a fantastic line even though it was supposed to stop after only a handful of figures...

I've been bouncing all over looking for anything that's actually news.
Nothing. Either they told us about it in a previous Q & A or we got it in some for of news (like the homepage here). I blame collectors for seemingly asking the same questions over and over IMO. |

And I for one will come back. No doubt about it. |
