Is the so called "Modern Era" an official name given by Hasbro? Where did this term come from? I usually buy factory boxes and they don't say Modern Era on them. Does anyone half info on this or a link as to when Hasbro announced it?

i give it the official name of "rehashed garbage"
If they have all these figures left over they can repackage and send out in mass quantitys just months after the original release why couldnt they package them and get them to us during the 25th waves i like how the viper comes out in wave 7 and 8 as well as wild bill. It would have been nice if they pumped out wave 1-6 like that. wave 7 and 8 are peg warmers here Last edited by Jism83; 07-16-2008 at 11:06 PM.. |

Hasbro is kinda re-releaseing the hard to get ones. I agree just release everything again regardless of the package markings though I could go with out re-releasing Buzzer & Wave 4 '07.

Storm Shadow and Destro sold very well out of that wave. They actually all sold in my area so I see no problem with wave 4.

Just saw today at target that they are clearing alot more room for GI Joe, I wonder if something big is going to start. They had at least 10 pegs open with GI Joe labels on them, empty for now. I have seen it like this in three stores.

There's a lot of larger things coming, such as vehicles and DVD packs, that will require more shelf space even for the same quantity of product.

Nah, just a phrase coined here by one of the mods. I'll always know them as '25th', regardless of year released.

Hasbro is simply calling the line G.I. Joe. of course, that doesn't really differentiate it from the 25 ears years plus of G.I. Joe product, so the fans (or more specifically I think HISS TANK) coined the term "Modern Era," to differentiate the figures from the 25th line, which was it's previous title.
