It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that us G.I.Joe Collector's are getting the short end of Hasbro's stick, our 25Th line is now gone.
Well fellow tankers I have the solution: Give us both Movie and Resolute. Say Hasbro Won't do it, I disagree: Here's why! Star Wars fans get both Legacy collection and Clone Wars from Hasbro. Transformers fans get animated,25th, and now Movie (Revenge of the Fallen). So Tell Hasbro we want both Resolute and Movie product! "This I Command"!!!!

maybe if there were as many joes fans as there are star wars zombies. the TF example is a much better one though.
i think we may actually get what you're asking, but i'm not sure hasbro will market it as such. the new ROC TRU-exclusive Firefly is a dead match for the version of Firefly shown in Resolute, but isn't tagged as Resolute at all. |

Kids don't buy joes. Their parents do for them.
If it was up to them they would go straight for the BEN 10 crappola.

Yes, I agree. in a way. Hasbro does indeed care more for then Star Wars and Transformers fans, even though I see more Star Wars warming pegs then I EVER do G.I. Joe. How fare is that. They'll they create a 40,000 fat aliens chicks for Star Wars, let them sit, and not not question sales. Mean while they'll over saturate us 50 plus versions of Cobra Commander, and when they Peg warm they'll question the fan base for G.I.Joe. We never turned on G.I.Joe by not buying their 49th version of suke, we're telling Hasbro we are already freakin' HAVE HIM for God's sake! Now, could ya through us a Low Light or heck even a Crazy Legs (by this time I'm not even being picky).
BUT, since the Kenner/Hasbro buyout, Hasbro really never gave up GI Joe per say. Maybe a year break here and there. A retool here and there. Sure they screwed the pooch from time to time. BUT can you say they gave up on us. I'll say they have marketing strategies and don't know what to do with G.I. Joe half the time. They want to make it more complicated then what it is. They are Over Articulated Army Men. Yes we love them, but that is what they are. Just give us cool "specialist" and we are happy. |

If Kids latch a hold of the movie or Resolute we may see this, if not then we are doomed to a one Joe toy line.

You my friend are right on the money. At least I'm not the only one who knows why we get the short end of the stick when it comes to our Joes. Even with the movie coming out G.I. Joe will hit a high with the toys (because of the movie) but it will never be as big as Star Wars or how it was back in the '80s
