there packed with destro and storm shadow. That supports my theory that for every new figure we one more of CC, SE, SS, Duke or Destro.

slinger i agree people should be creative and that should never be stifled. On the flip side of the coing these new movie styled costumes aren't really all that new, and not very inventive. Now if the movie had styles more like the clasics but updated, for example...perhaps dukes "combat outfit is a little bit of enhancement armor over his tan and green pants, scarlett dones a ninja outfit, gung ho actually puts on a shirt you see were im going, that would be different. but since these are basically taking the sigma outfits and eliminting the colors to me thats not very impressive. And stormy doesnt look like a ninja, he looks like hes in a white business suit with a ski mask on...not like a ninja, Baroness just flat out sucks and why the hell is destro running around WITHOUT his mask? thats lame to the nth power. The can make andy sirkis golum in LOTR but they cant make a silver headed destro in the movie that has a moving mouth? and eyes? I think thay could but they're laming it out. and we wont even go into the vipers.

If it says GI Joe on the package, I will buy it. In for a penny, in for a pound...

If the GI Joe Movie is anything like the Transformers movie, here's what will happen:
- On "Launch Day", about a month before the movie, the collectors will buy out the whole stock. - 1 Month later, fueled by High Demand and Low Supply, the next shipment will be bought entirely for scalping purposes. - eBay will be flooded with 100's of the same item. Assorting your search results on eBay by price, highest to lowest, will have you crying with laughter when you see a Buy It Now price of $100 for a non-variant figure that's a regular part of that wave. - 2 months after the movie release the pegs will be flooded with Wave 1. Wave 2 will be a mysterious beast only spoken of by the villagers in a hushed tone. - Wave 2, scalped to hell on eBay, actually DOES pull in $100 bids on eBay, because now the collectors are competing with the kids, unlike day 1, and they can throw that kind of money around. - Wave 3 will have the figure everyone wanted to begin with. Chaos ensues as scalpers camp out to grab that one for big cash. "The Figure That Launched A Thousand Threads" will be bitched about endlessly, and there will be threats of extreme violence against scalpers. - By Christmas the stores are empty, and everyone, scalper, kid and collector alike is jittery and wondering what they're gonna do to get their hands on these things. Tension mounts. The proverbial powderkeg is on a slow-burning fuse as the days approach the 25th of December. - Suddenly, without warning, Hasbro realizes they actually can sell goods in exchange for cash and flood the everloving shit out of the stores with figures. By the way, it's now mid-January and hardly anyone gives a shit at this point. - 15 months after the movie's release re-re-re-repaints clog the shit out of store shelves, which prevents any and all new items from being put out. Collectors spend thousands of dollars in gas checking for the new line of toys only to spot the same four hundred repaints of the character not in the movie that have been there for about three months. It is the Cycle of Hasbro. You are powerless against this juggernaut. - Well Said!!! F-Hasbro!!!
