Oh my god I have to say thank you to all the guys over at Hasbro who designed the 25th anniversary gi joes. You guys rock thank you so much for helping me relive my childhood. I think these figures are awesome.. keep up the good work.

And, Hasbro, please let everybody who wants them get them at suggested retail price at the local store of their choice.

Thanks Hasbro if you are reading I really appreciate it too and there are still so many awesome characters to make. Is there anybody not buying these. Kids are going crazy for the three or four figs they CAN get their hands on.

When you say 'kids' do you mean 'Adults'?!?

Yes, he did. Kids are not buying these figs and Hasbro knows it

Kids are buying too. It's just that they now have to compete with the adults.

I haven't seen any kids buying them, though I have seen a number of adults searching for them. Further, I tried to give some to my nephews and little cousins for Christmas, and they were fairly disinterested in them (loved the Power Rangers that Santa brought, though). With no popular cartoon, movie, or commercials (and with all the competition from toys that do have these advantages), there's just nothing compelling kids to buy them, from what I've seen.

The kids I had seen back when I was still looking in stores (before reverting to BBTS fulltime) were ecstatic over Snake Eyes. Im sure the irony is killing you all. This is in and around Philly

The figures are hard to find, so it's tough for kids to buy. Although the 5 packs are fairly common. But I've seen/talked on more than a couple occassions to the kids who were totally into it. Who knows if they are children of fanatic adults. But it also could depend on where you are.

It would be in Hasbro's best interest to get these kids interested because, they're going to grow up one day and be just like us -- buying case loads of Joes. I figure once the movie comes out, the figures are going to drive up even more interest - just like the Transformers.
