Same. I expected this to be like that retarded BackTVC petition that Jeditemplearchives did where they had all their extremely biased articles about why Black Series sucks and TVC is good (they compared sales of sought after TVC original trilogy and Mando characters to sequel era Black Series to purposely make it look like TVC was in more demand) and had their 7000 signature petition thingy. Now that was completely stupid. However, Hasbro did actually acknowledge it and said they will do something about it, even tho Black Series is still the far better and more respected line.

I'm not sure I would believe that there is little money to be made on crowd funding. Board games have had an overwhelming success on Kickstarter to the point they are spilling over to brick and mortar retailers. Just look at Gloomhaven/Frosthaven. Kingdom Death had 12,393,139 backers. Do you honestly think Hasbro would come even close to this? I seriously doubt it. Probably one programmer at his computer that bought up all the figures from Target.

I'm just a fan in general and this is more of a nostalgia kick for me. I have no bias on any of the products. I just think if you are going to create FaceBook sites, online sites and advertise all this upcoming stuff to fans, at least make it so that they can buy the stuff you are telling them you are going to sell otherwise it's pretty pointless and just pisses off your entire customer base.

The day Hasbro goes to preorders direct to consumer as their regular business model is the day Hasbro's stock tanks to the point they may have to declare bankruptcy the next day.
Hasbro is a retail toy (and now media) company. Not a boutique dealer. Yeah, Kingdom Death made a lot of money on Kickstarter...for a small company. It's not even pocket change for Hasbro. The first wave of Classified Joes probably cost more than that to develop, produce, and ship. |

78 - Just wait till the items are being sold in store or being sold as a regular item in store. There will be plenty to go around if you try to get them up front. Just don't look for them at a clearance prices as that's a sure way to miss them.

Which version of CC? You can buy it on BBTS right now for the normal selling price.
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...Details/127650 That's a rabbit hole I refuse to go down. But a lot of people are more than willing to piss away stupid amounts of cash just to get a figure a few weeks earlier. Remember this little diddy I posted back in the day? This auction was mere weeks before the Retailiation figures hit the states.

I would definitely pick them up on day one if they are in stores. However, the Walmarts I've been to around here barely stock anything. The toy sections in some have 1 aisle for boys and 1 for girls and both are pretty empty except for leftovers no one wants as far as figures go. Maybe I'll have better luck with Target.

Exactly! They already have a crowd funding site! Use that to do entire waves of GI Joe. You sell exactly the amount that people pay for and you have exact production numbers. Zero losses from unsold merchandise since you make them non-refundable after the backing period ends. Problem solved. A massive win for fans and they make a profit at the same time.
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/haslab Not defending them. Just saying it’s not just about selling what you made. It’s about ROI as well. Depreist said in the full force podcast, two years ago, the 50th was profitable. Hasbro just choose to use those resources somewhere else. |
