I wrote this at 2005 in the UK Toy fair coverage there but it applies here too.
You know I have never understood why Hasbro, Paramount, Activision, Aunt Jamima, Procter and Gamble who in the blue hell ever, makes sites take down pictures and descriptions of upcoming items at a show where they are being shown off for the purpose of getting people to want to buy their stuff. Seriously Hasbro do you want people excited about your stuff and have them chomping at the bit to get them or do you want another Indiana Jones style failure?!

Then they need to pull their heads out of their asses. This is the 21st century and with the internet they are not going to stop people from distributing information. Keeping this from the people in one region while showing it to another does not work anymore. If you don't want the US fan base to see stuff early then I would recommend that you unveil things at the same time world wide and quit living in the past.

Get over it ... I mean Us , the USA fans/collectors get the best stuff out of all Transformers and GI joe products , while every other country pays more ,and sometimes has to wait for the toys to show up ...... there's a thing called patients. learn to use it .

As far as I understand how it goes, Toyfair's are closed to the public and are only open to the press, publications, and websites that are related to the toy industry and such. If Hisstank was not involved in this recent Toyfair in the UK, then I guess it would be illegal for those pictures to be displayed here.
Then again maybe it is illegal for the common member to post them, but if the Mod's get permission then I guess it would be all good.

No big thrill on the now pulled movie pictures. I've been a long time fan since it all began in 1982 and I have to say this will be another bad re-imaging of G.I.*JOE.
