I hoping that they finally fix Duke. Flint got fixed with the TF edition. Now lets hope that Duke does too.

Some of these figures sound promising, but I am not going to hold my breath until they are confirmed and Hasbro releases pictures of the figures. I would love a Mutt and Junkyard. They were essential teammates to any attack force on Cobra island. CrocMaster was so bad a$$ when he came out originally. I liked the VvV version, as well. Still have both. Can not wait to see the 25th version now. I really would love to see a 25th version of Wraith, the comic character was cool and all of the customs on the web are kick A$$, but Paraviper and Cobra Bazo. I can see a Paraviper, but why aren't they releasing more of the original 80's joes. I want my Recondo, Blowtorch, Cobra Snowtrooper, cobra eels, Dusty, Ripcord, Airborne, and more. I really hope the economy starts to come back to normal soon and the market renders a lower price. I can see this line becoming a victim to inflation and rising prices if things do not get better soon all around.

In addition, look at what happened to the Star Wars troop builders in 2007. They started packing them 2 per case in every assortment to please the fans and all of a sudden they were clogging the pegs (Galactic Marine, Airborne Trooper, Death Star Trooper, Stormtrooper... these would never have been peg warmers in prior years). There is a VERY fine line of demand and once crossed the figures stick at retail and someone loses money. People think that creating the right balance of figures for these cases is easy. It's definitely not... Hasbro has been doing this a long time, and I suspect they are much more accurate at predicting the correct ratios than most of the fans. I really do wish they could create "collector" cases with one of each new figure to make it easy for us, but I gather the market is just not big enough... Walmart and the big boys don't want them, they want multiples of the popular characters and very small releases of the ones they don't think will sell. As for Walmart pricing, I always heard that their toys are basically a loss leader... they price them dirt cheap to get people into the stores where they will then proceed to buy other, more profitable things. I don't see how people can complain that they are raising their prices to the normal amount. And I will bet you anything that Target (and to a lesser degree TRU) have not been paying THAT much more than WM this whole time. Plus the things the other poster mentioned about all the other costs associated with carrying the line are 100% true as well. Give them a break... That said, in all my attempts I have never found a single Joe (or even peg for one) at either of my two local Walmarts. |
