If so, I wouldn't necessarily disagree. But then, why the "ramping up production" rhetoric? I guess the masses need to be pacified.

It might wane a bit. But as long as they issued new figures every few months people like us would buy them in droves. I bet for every person that "might" lose interest there is one person that is losing interest now duie to lack of availabilty.
Hasbro also isn't building future customers this way. We grew up loving these toys, but our kids can't even find one on a shelf without their father or mother selling a kidney. (ie, spending a fortune in gas hunting them down). |

I got an email today from smalljoes.com and thought I would share part of it. It helps me with my frustrations a little. I keep thinking whenever I go out toy hunting that the scalpers always beat me. At least reading this helps me realize I'm not THAT slow. It's just Hasbro being slow!!
Part of email: Hi all, We wanted to tell you about a few new things going on at SMALLJOES.COM. GI JOE ====== Things have been somewhat quiet with GI JOE lately. Hasbro isn't shipping much merchandise right now. Wave 5 ('08) single-carded figures will hopefully arrive this month. Hasbro seems to be significantly slipping again in meeting demand. Hopefully, we'll also have a restock of the vehicles and some previously sold-out 25th Anniversary single-carded figures this month or early next. It'll likely all land around the same time. A few people have asked about the "shared exclusive" Extreme Conditions 7-figure sets. Yes, we'll be offering them and they'll be available in late September. We do not anticipate any shortage of supply. |

I didnt get that exact email, but i got one from the saying they will hopefully have items re-stocked in the next 10 days or so. I really like small joes with the older stuff, and the supplies they offer (pegs, tubeing, O-rings) but i dont understand why some figures are more expensive then other? Like the 12" line. $15 for dusty, $20 for the cobra trooper. Or the vehicels, $20 for a Hiss? Everyone has to make money though, and for a small web site like that i guess its understandable. Doesnt really stop me from odering from them. I have received nothing but fast relaiable service from them.

I got that email too. You know with China shuting down some or all factories for the 08 games may slow stuff down more. :(

it sure is frustrating though. Last edited by Michael Jade; 07-19-2008 at 03:21 PM.. |

What the hell is a "shared exclusive"? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
