Even in the q/a's Hasbro said there is a better chance of bigger vehicles and such coming out when the movie does. That means reissues of bigger vehicles and new big vehicles for both the movie line and anniversary line. If the movie does well, we will get treated well. Look at Transformers. Look at Star wars. More than 1 line at a time, yet still coexisting.
I look at gijoe as becoming similar to Star Wars, 1 mainline, and a coexisting sideline called Legends. |

I'm sure the classic figures will come back the year after the movie, who knows, If the movie does really well we may even get a new cartoon with a toy line attached to it
I would really like to have a new cartoon and toy line. Depending on if the movie is as good as it's supposed to be... |

i wouldnt mind a movie line, as long as they keep the scale the same. i think itd be crazy to have another scale thrown into the mix.
i wouldnt mind seeing some new vehicles. maybe nothing spectacular but at least its a change of pace. |

I would expect the mainline for the movie to be 3-3/4" with a secondary line of 12" vehicles. I would expect the movie and RAH stuff to be interchangeable and integrated, basically same format and structure but seperated by sublines, for example, movie line wave 1, gijoe legends(RAH) wave 1. Both come out at the same time, share pegs, but niether overpowers the other. Again reference Star Wars. Also note how despite the movies not being on air for a while, classic star wars characters and vehicles were still being made, during, and afterwards.

A new audience means greater potential for bigger and better things for all Joe fans. Remember that for a long while Hasbro balked at creating new vehicles for the Star Wars line, but with the success of RotS, they turned it around and not are working to create more fighters and vehicles for us. A hit movie can only mean good things for the toys.

Thats pretty much what Hasbro was saying at the past joe con. I think the success of the movie line will boge well too. Just possibly a harder time finding figures(look how hard to find the anniversary figures are, without a TV/movie to back it! |

I never thought of that. With the movie coming out and a new toy line in the making, us as collectors will have a whole new generation of people buying these figures. This can only be a huge profit for hasbro and a huge headache for some collectors who have a hard time finding stuff already...
