Indiana Jones suffered do too assortments. Long story coming....
As a Canadian retailer Hasbro consistently tries to sell us old stock, not new stock( thats reserved for the U.S.). At the time of the Transformers movie , we here up north received truck loads of year old Armada product while the U.S. received new product. This happens all the time, I'm sure as a visitor to Canada it must feel like a time warp to travelling Americans. With the Indiana Jones collection it seems as though Hasbro decided to spread out old assortments by putting them into new assortment cases. Only six new figs with six old figs that didnt sell the first time. This pattern of assortments does not exist in Joes, Star Wars or Transformers. Hasbro intentionally packed the assortments with dead figures( Rocket launcher Indy, Jacketless Mutt). In the last assortment of Temple of Doom( three waves after Crystal Skull) six new figs and two Rocket Indy's and two jacketless mutts. This is the equivalent of every new joe set shipping with Rocket Pack Duke for a year. It sucks to be a toy collector when Hasbro has a monopoly on the boys aisle. |

Hmmm..so you're saying you'd go to prison to protect your Joe collection. You better hope you never get someone like me as a member of your jury. I'd be working to convince the other jurors to fry you. You know, I've always wanted to be on a jury that sends someone to the chair and I cannot think of a better candidate than some lunatic adult who plays with toys and cuts off folks' fingers to wear on a necklace like some Dahmer wanna-a-be. Well, ok, I can think of some better candidates but this one just made my top 10.

Actualy I really like Canada, but seriously, what the hell is up with Tim Hortons??..Canadians love them some mini Pizza's!! So do you think the movie joes will go the way of Indy,and the Do-do bird? Not for Brian Goldner! |

Awww man, sorry to hear that. Although I doubt we would have ever found a cure for your blindness even if we weren't socializing medicine. Some things are just beyond our limits I guess. On a more upbeat note though, you get to take your dog to places mine could never go. Lucky you. ;-P
