But I don't think either would buy into a full run (BBTS, in particular, has been burned by that in the past), so if TRU dropped support, I don't think Hasbro would have been able to drum up the retail support for any product.

So on another website, Hasbro confirmed there will be no new GI Joe figures until the next movie comes out. Who knows when that will be.

So, do we anticipate any manner of product reveal at JoeCon, aside from the SDCC exclusive? Is FSS 7.0 even a remote possibility, or is it too early for that?

I was actually surprised they didn't wait to do the FSS 6 reveals at the con.

I am really sad, Wolverine doesn't exist in any continuity, The X-men are being replaced with Inhumans, The only Star Wars Original Trilogy characters that are left now are Luke, Artoo, 3PO and Chewie, Marvel comics have gone to shit, now G.I Joe is dead too? I also fear Optimus will die as well. I don't like any of these changes.

I've long argued that I feel the only reason we got stuff this past year (and possibly in 2015) was due to online retailers like Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store stepping up to help buy enough of the run to justify the line's existence.
But I don't think either would buy into a full run (BBTS, in particular, has been burned by that in the past), so if TRU dropped support, I don't think Hasbro would have been able to drum up the retail support for any product.

I thought I would be disappointed by this news, but surprisingly I'm not (at least not much). I'm looking forward to new stuff, but I'm at a point where I have way too much anyway and I need to downsize a bit, so a year off will give me time to do so.

I am a bit disappointed. I was really looking forward to the release of the Arctic Stinger Driver and new Snow Serpent concepts.

Here's to Marauder task force's next kickstarter!!! This news is sad. But it's another example of big business not really caring about its fan base. Hasbro seems go forget how we went nuts for POC because of how awesome it was. Different takes on characters we love and we gobbled them up. The market is there but now it will be owned by Marauder John and BOSS Flight studios!

West Valley City declared eminent domain and kicked out that TRU along with Staples and an Army recruitment place. TRU fought that one with a lengthy suit, which they obviously lost. That shitty town has delusions of grandeur and wants to turn that whole area into a "civic center." |
