Yeah, tried with Star Wars and they flopped badly. HOWEVER, hasbro has been really good about reusing accessories with other releases, especially boxsets. The online Desert set features the comic Firefly backpack, Tripwire's gear, and BBQ's gear. The Arctic set features Mainframe's computer, Scrap Iron's Missile system, and Roablock 2's gear. Not an ideal solution, but they are trying.

- This was mentioned in another thread, but exclusive troop builder packs (delivered in non-descript cardboard boxes) available through the G.I. Joe Club membership (or something similar) would be great, as long as the prices are within reason.
They tried that back in 2003 with the internet BAT exclusive, 6 figures (3 BAT v2 in original colors, 2 Inferno BATs, 1 Overkill repaint). It flopped so bad that Smalljoes has a ton of these left more than 5 years later.

Already done as the first Cobra Trooper single card release
