Indeed. While I am fully in favor of being kind to children I am concerned with the number of people constantly minimizing the role of collectors. No, these are not toys first. These are products first. It doesn't matter if someone is buying them to play with, horde, sell, or prop their dinner table up with.

Collector or not, this line would not survive if young children did not get interested in them. There may be a heck of a lot of collectors out there, but do the math, do you think Hasbro is doing it for them. They put these out for the kids as well and probably mostly for them and they are putting the movie out closely following the 25th line to get the children in the door at the theatre so they will buy even more. Star wars was not originally a kids movie but the toy sales to kids now mind you is what help them pay for the other two movies.
Kids bring in the $$ not collectors. Watch when the movie comes out those 3 pegs at your store will go from 3 to 30 pegs of joe figures. Course then the kids won't be able to find them at first because the collectors will buy them all. Another reason I do pre-order. Hasbro has a chance to get a whole new generation into Gi Joe here just like they did with Star Wars and Transfomers. Those 3 lines are king and you can bet that collectors are the least of their worries. Back on topic though might be a fluke or something but if these were out it would be all over Ebay or BBTS or EE would have them prolly.

So enough of the children are the future talk, has Batman tracked down the kid who bought the wave 10 Cobra bazooka trooper and snapped a pic of it. I mean he is the world's greatest detective, finding one small child with a wave 10 figure shoudn't be a problem right?
J/K I do believe you Batman. Wave 1 vehicles were found weeks before any one else ever saw them and I never knew that there was a hard date for release of any Joe figures, they seem to generally get released around the month we were told. Unless I'm wrong the month we heard was September for wave 10 which is only about 12 days away. Last edited by SNAKE EYES; 08-21-2008 at 04:10 PM.. |
