It all depends on your faithfulness to Joe. Even without new products on the shelves at the store, I've maintained a strong interest in it since I first got hooked in '82. In fact, I'd say it's stronger today.

I dont think it's dead, just in a lull. I'm very excited for some of the POC stuff coming out, & I think we're all psyched for the Resolute 7-Packs

I'm just as excited but with a lack of new retail figures I am not feeling a thing. Hell it's made me buy things I won't normally because of the extra funds and the need to feed my collectible itch.

All I know is I've bought mostly Joe stuff... A star Wars figure or MU here or there...TO ADD into my Joe line...(Customs Dios, what-not) and a 6+ month lag in Joe merch is killing my desire for the line.
And the main reason is because Hasbro dosen't want any sales diluting movie or premiere lines at any given time. THEY don't take into consideration fans who only want a certain line, and due to their faulty beliefs, those lines wither and fade out.

Personally, don't matter to me. I'm still getting the old stuff. When you're a Joe collector, there's always something new to get - you know, "new to me" anyway. I'm almost done with my original goal, which was to get all the figures from '83-'86. Since then, I've expanded to vehicles, foreign figures, the original straight-arms, Tiger Force and the other sub-teams, etc, including of course new stuff like the 25th line and Sideshow. I've got most of the '87 and '88 figures now too, and am thinking of expanding to get some (but not all) of the vehicles from those years and later, and getting the figure line-ups from '89 and '90. Beyond that, who knows... maybe I'll eventually be one of those guys with every figure from '82-'94, even though I always said I hated the latter stuff. Maybe I'll even get into vintage 12" - now there's an interesting idea... Probably expensive too! So yeah, a lull don't bother me one bit. I would love for more 25th style stuff but if all we get is RoC/PoC style, that's fine too. I've always cherry picked what I liked from the new lines (even Sigma Six!), but there's always vintage to get back to.

Maybe not that, but we're in for a treat. Everything shown at Toy Fair was AWESOME, whatever they show at Joecon will more than likely be AWESOME, and once PoC hits shelves and we have the goods in hand, it'll be even more AWESOME!
