Don't know if this has been posted yet, I just saw at another Joe-site that the Jan 2010 is the last scheduled Q&A for G.I. Joe. It was bound to happen, it started with five questions and then it was three question and the last few I did notice a decline of people participating in the Q&As. Wonder what this means for G.I. Joe as far as Collectors/Hasbro relations.

Which site did ya see this?
They probably got tired of the same questions getting asked over and over and over again.

"Are we getting more Modern Era product" or "Where is (insert character x or large item z)?" And both were answered basically EVERY Q and A from one site or another. Or my favorite, people asking the same questions over and over because they didn't check out other Q and As, despite plenty of encouragement.

And ran out of creative ways to not answer these questions time and again.

I doubt it's the end, though. Probably just on the back burner for a while!

The Q & A's were/are pointless!

I think some people need to learn the difference between "getting an answer" and "getting an answer they liked."
I will say this though: Cutting off the Q&As is NOT a good sign for the G.I. Joe brand in any way, shape, or form (put more bluntly - It's Hasbro telling the collector community that the line isn't worth the effort of answering Q&As, which means it isn't a line they consider important enough to bother directly liaising with the collector community). There may be very troubled waters ahead. I'm beginning to wonder if Toy Fair in February might bring us something entirely unexpected that's going to have people crying to heavens about the DETH OF TEH LINE yet again.

The Q and A really needs to be retooled. The same lame-ass questions get asked each time and very little new information comes out.
