I just picked up the Wave 2 Retaliation 3-packs (G.I. Joe Tactical Ninja Team and Cobra Invasion Team), and I have to say, it really bums me out that there are no file cards for these guys (or any of the figures in the Retaliation line)! I'd love to find out more about the Cobra Invasion Trooper and Agent Mouse, but, man, it's just not gonna happen. I always thought the file cards were a great jumping off point, imagination-wise, and they were one of the things that made Joes so much more than other action figures when I was a kid.
Now I'm gonna just throw out the box and totally forget what Cobra Invasion Trooper's name is even supposed to be. Sigh. |

Yep. Yet another thing that helped set Joe apart in the past has disappeared.

Hasbro is creatively bankrupt.

Remembering the high quality writing on the recent file cards, I won't be missing them.

Yeah, they went downhill quick. I'd like them to get Hama or anyone from IDW back on writing the file cards like the old days.

NO, No, no, no, no...Do not get anyone from IDW to right file cards. It's Mr. Hama or no one.
As long as we keep getting cool figures like POC and upcoming(official) wave 3, I don't care about file cards. I've given up on file cards and vehicles in 2009. This is not our '80s GI Joe and we just have to accept it.

I LOVED the 25th file cards, but that was probably only because thanks to nostalgia I really cared about the characters and read every single 25th card I got.
When I look at all the newer or redesigned characters... I'm like... cool, but I don't really feel like reading anything about you. LOL. |

we should make them up ourselves using Hama's style and rules. there are file card templates out there and you can use the information on the boxes and cards to make up your own.

Severe Cutbacks. Pretty soon figures will just be in plastic baggies hanging from the pegs as the final cost cutting tool.
