....this is what Hasbro is giving us now .please ..their new figures are inferior to the original ones in many ways ,paint applications ,weapons ,sculpting etc ..at least most of the original Joe figs had all new sculpts and didn't have the "Frankenstien" body construction that the new ones have where every figure has a part that is another one ,i understand people like the new stuff because they are reliving their childhood in some way ,but don't just settle for garbage either ,the new stuff is garbage .
You can't duplicate a good toy line from the 80's ,look how the He Man line bombed after two years ? "Collect them all, each one is completely unique and made of the finest materials known to man. Their ultra durable rubber band construction will hold up to anything and they are perfectly scaled with super realistic day glow orange sniper rifles." How could they ever improve on that? |

I'm sorry but the old school Joes suck balls compared to the new ones. Even as a kid I could tell they were kind of lame. If you don't like the new ones go buy the old crap from your local garage sales, .25 cents each in a cardboard box.

I'll always love the original 80's toys, but these new ones are quite a nice upgrade.

The marketing team are making them more of a 1st quarter 09 release. And are also mixing up cases for more diversity.
I just spoke to a Hasbro Marketing Rep who's card I got while she was at a wal-mart. They are delayed and it's not a bad "sign" it's part of their push to produce more of the modern era toyline and release them quicker and in better stock. "The cases will be more plentiful for this wave, as will figures to come up to and after the movie," were her exact words. But seriously why didn't the online retailers just push back the release date instead of canceling all orders. Hell I've had things at BBTS on pre-order for a year. |

Every time I run into a Hasbro rep they are the stupidest people I have met. I ask them about joe products and they dont know crap about them, like if it was the first time they have ever seen them when I show them.

I don't want to rain on the parade, because I'm perfectly fine with a delay of this wave. But (in more than one thread) people have said something like "pushed back to first quarter 09". My pre-order said February 2009, and last time I checked, February fell into the first quarter of the year. So, why is it being referred to as a "delay"? Just a thought...

It is not a delay it is a cancel, or they woul dhave kept our orders in tact and chnage dthe dates. They will not be getting this product and that is pretty evident. It may be released like some have specualted, but it will not be what we expected. It will be the movie version whcih will be a Hummer HX with neon green wheels and missles....not an arctic hiss, outback, stratoviper or FLak cannon, stinger is toast as well I can smell it, thanks China!

Not a cancel of the line, a cancel of the vehicle wave management. |
