Hasbro has tanked but Matty is the role model? I enjoyed MOTUC for a bit but that line quickly lost my interest especially when that douche made a figure for himself paid for by the fans.

Hasbro has tanked ?? How so? This line of joe product is actually selling quite well. The new 3 3/4 figures are incredible. Go have fun with those overpriced men in loin clothes. You may not like what's available but that by no means Hasbro has tanked.

To the points about the Ghost Striker, Hasbro just used the Battleship F/A-18 Kreo fighter and redid some details to make this. It was pretty clever on their part to reuse the design with an older Joe fighter. Hasbro has proven to be pretty clever with the sales of these toys - pitting a less desirable toy with an army builder (ie the classic Hiss Tank). I personally like the Ghost Striker because it is small and can fit on my Banbao aircraft carrier. (The Starscream jet, which is much bigger, is simply too big making me think a Skystriker might not be in the future.) I would have preferred a Conquest X-30 but maybe that will come if the line continues. I get that people don't like Kre-O and that's cool. But at least appreciate that this is moving the line towards folks that might not otherwise buy G.I. Joe. They are proving far more popular than other Hasbro Joe lines, such as the Micro Force, Combat Heroes, and 12" figures.

Are these seriously knock-off legos...this is probably why I can't find real Joes in stores...they're spending their budget on crap like this...

They are not crap. Knock off Legos is pretty much a crap statement. The quality is almost on par with Lego. The Lego elitist garbage is so old. You don't like the stuff then don't buy it. Plenty of people do and it's good for the joe brand that something is actually popular.

Didn't they say at joe con it is a completely separate budget? So it's not pulling any money from the regular figs. I love the Kreos

Didn't go to Joe-con so I didn't hear that...but really, what regular figures...all I've seen in 1:18th scale is the movie line that you can only find on the internet, and way overpriced kit-bashed exclusives...they don't have anything GI Joe (except the DVDs) in any of my local stores, so something has got to be up...We have Toys R Us, 9 Super Centers, 20+ Dollar General stores, Target and a ROSS...and they are all screaming NO-JOE! for some reason...

These are exclusive to TRU only so they're not taking away from the main releases.
