Hasbro's G.I. JOE Q&A Round Three 2008

[artiepants]

i gotta say, even if you're not excited about the movie, the hate-level seems almost irrational. I'm certainly not super stoked about the character costumes, but from what Destro described i'm super excited for the all-new vehicles.

waves 12 and 13 per WalMart
(who's in which and what exactly some are is unkown at this time ~ i think Omega Force is possibly/probably Resolute)

Duke Omega Force
Cobra Commander Omega Force
Cobra TRPR Omega Force
Storm Shadow w/ GE
Cobra Diver w/ WA
Cobra Trooper w/ RED
Crimson Guard Py(thon)
Tripwire w/ Desert
Dreadnok Torch
Dreadnok Ripper
Firefly
Blowtorch
Serpent (or?)

so far as i know the Wal-Mart computers have been batting 1.000 ~ i remember when everyone swore they couldn't be right about Tiger Force Flint cuz Hasbro said "they weren't doing sub-teams"... they've been dead-on for waves 7-11 at least...

I swear if we dont see a tunnel rat in any of those waves i am gonna have a hissy fit like that guy did with brittany on you tube

well, he's supposed to be in Resolute, so my fingers are crossed...

So, in total we'll have seen 14 to 15 waves of Joe classic figures before the movie line hits. Not bad, although I agree with everyone else here that they shouldn't be stopped, but it's only for one year.

There are a few figures though that I hope Hasbro is able to squeeze out before the movie stuff comes out:
Zandar
Big Boa
Techno-Viper
H.E.A.T.-Viper
Annihilator
Python Viper
Strato-Viper
Lamprey

Also I'd like to see the IRON Grenadier on either a single card or in a TRU troop builder set.

These all seem heavily weighted towards the Cobra end of the spectrum (okay, entirely weighted). :-) No Joes you'd like to see made before the movie crap kicks in?

i was like: "wow. 3 more waves? 3 more waves of empty pegs?!?!"

LOL

at least end it with wave 10 or something that don't seem hard to find.

They are making too much money...they wont' stop. I'm not worried.

Of course if the modern line comes back i will have saved plenty from the "hiatus" for the movie stuff to be pushed so i will have plenty of money to spend on REAL GI Joe toys when they come back non movie-ized :>

wow..i must be tired.. i swear to gawd i thought u said "so we don't have to endure "chaffing scrotum" i busted out laughing like what the hell?

then I re-read it.. and it said CHANNING TATUM LMAO

WOW....... and i typed this to the room...... even more funny..

Thats why i am so against this hiatus they plan on. My angst with the movie aside, i'm in fear of availability of the modern stuff, pluss having to trapse around to every damn store and most likely the stores being sold out. I just wish they would contiue it normally.

ya hard to find like that damn black destro ;)

I'm hoping they wont but i am expecting they will. They probably cant think of any other figure to use with blow torchs mold so they most likely wont make a new mold since his outfit was pretty unique. unless they plan on doing charbroil which most likely they wont. So i am HOPING they will give ol torchy some new fresh digs, but im expecting it to be a rehash of flash, just like trippy. (raises his scotch glass in hopes hes wrong about torch)

they are gonna use wild weasel... like they did for BBQ, Snow Job Apline, Slip stream the Green Ace........... and many many more
