I was told from Toy Fair that they will work on better distribution methods on the Joes and re-issues for those consumers who have not been able to get certain figures(Flint). Hasbro initially intended to make 25 figures( no vehicles ) and that would be it. Since the line had become soo popular they are now scrambling to make more including working on updated designs on vehicles, playsets and multipacks. GI Joe will definitely have a bigger section at the stores and the movie tie ins will not dissapoint( cannot give more details on the movie merchandise ). All will be good in toy land. No more high prices on Ebay. Everybody will be able to get their Joes soon. Be patient my friends, you will have them all.

Well said. I just hope they don't become over produced, but I have confidence the powers that be at Hasbro will make the right decisions.

Thanks for the tip! Do you have ties at Hasbro? Can you put in a request that they specifically stock 25th stuff in Red Deer Alberta?
Thanks, RJ

Good to hear. I have given up searching due to no product (disappointment) and beyond poor retail employee interactions (bad disposition, zero knowledge ,being lied to= frustration). Sounds like hasbro at least understands the situation, as they should, I just hope that understanding is also there from the retail level.

My dream would be that the Hasbro Toy Store would do pre-orders, and you could order as many as you want of something, especially armybuilders. That way if I wanted to drop $400 on say new BAT figures I could, or whatever. Not saying I would do that many but I can tell you what this distribution they have now doesn't lend itself to me giving as much as I might to Hasbro. At this point it is too difficult in the Midwest to get this in stores on any kind of regular basis, and I decided to go with buy two of each, one to display and one to open.

Let's all hope so. I think they need to get going and do what must be done. How can you not think this was going to be such a big hit. Hasbro really must have had its head in the sand. The fan base for the 3.75" has been amazing and growing in strength for the past ten plus years. With the popularity of all the fan based web-sites and the Joe Conventions how can they be so ignorant. They have the ability to make a great impact on the market if they just get off their arse and do the job. I mean last Christmas alone they could have sold tons of action figures if they just pushed the retailers to move product faster and better distribution. Man!!! c'mon Hasbro wake-up!!!
