Agreed.
Hasbro is only releasing wave 5 to increase its second quarter earnings. Folks can read into their decision what they want but companies the size of Hasbro do not make decisions to release or not release product based on the rantings of a few hundred folks on a couple of internet sites. The decision to release these vehicles was all about money. You have it and they want it. |

I think Hasbro saw the fans really wanted these and did what they could. They didnt get that big by making stupid decsions.

Wanted to get everyone's opinion on something. When the wave 5 vehicles were canceled/postponed there was a tremendous uproar on this forum. It seems all of us, myself included, were really looking forward to the Stinger, Arctic Hiss, and Flak Cannon. Did our outcry have anything to do with Hasbro's sudden decision to release it thsi spring?

I think they always planned on releasing them, but when they took them away and fans started clammoring they brought them back.

i think they might have listened.. but if they really brought it back it would be more along the lines of cost/money--seeing if they could just squeeze it in now instead of after the movie. if it made sense to the resellers

No. In a Q and A Hasbro said they delayed the wave in order to boost quantities coming out of the factory. The line up was never canceled.

I think that the actual release date was unclear all along. They were scheduled to be released before the movie, but I guessing a delay held off a 1st quarter release and at the time, Hasbro at Toy Fair did not have the exact time frame together. I never believed that they were canceled. Whenever you see a finished product and especially packaging, you can bet that they are soon to be shipped to the US from Asia.

There was a lot of speculation.Heck I email the GIJoeclub and got an answer that the wave 5 vehicles were canned.The thing that bugs me though is some Walmarts don't have space for the vehicles.I am sure hoping the these aren't going to be only available online.I am very curious if they are going to change the packaging.
