Would be awesome if they even went into foreign service detail. Would be a great way to spread some knowledge around of the various other military services the world over.

Well, the poll so far seems to indicate otherwise, smart guy. ;)

You realize this is a fan site, right? And we're not all a bunch of morons here just because we don't bring up the business aspect behind what we'd like to see EVERY SINGLE TIME? As far as Hasbro NOT offering multiple lines of the GI Joe brand, take another look at the toy aisles - they're already doing it.

One line. 25/Modern era. But since that isn't going to happen, I could live with two lines.

because they have proven to be able to support it.
at this point, Hasbro is hoping to assert G.I. Joe as the top 1 or 2 brands in the boys market. the way to do that is with one line and one large collective sales success. the minute you create two lines, you inherently split sales between them, and in doing so you can end up with two lines that only perform marginally instead of one that performs great. which do you think is the better option for not only Hasbro but G.I. Joe? for those who want to actually understand the business concepts behind having two lines to know why Hasbro hasn't done so, instead of thinking these decisions are made arbitrarily based on whether someone simply wants it or not, feel free to educate your self with this basic Marketing 101 concept: Cannibalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

That and the lackluster card art is a large part of what bugs me. If they'd kept the classic cards, I think there would be a bit more interest in the current line (not that its suffering too much now ) |
