Well all I know in my ignorance is having a mass media tie-in helps sell toys and appease the retailers. So I pray for a GI Joe 3 movie anytime cause if it happens it means the line continues and as history has shown us they are able to toss in a few if not many throwback /collector orientated figures in there so by all means make another movie! (Gotta say though as much as I love the line these past two movies were ass!)

Yeah, I'm thinking either March or August in 2016 if they are really serious about moving forward with the sequel. Leaning towards August myself: Ninja Turtles and Guardians of the Galaxy show you can get really solid numbers even at the tail end of summer.
And Hasbro would likely appreciate the toyline positioning in that situation. |

i'm sure it will come out just as joes at retail are getting back to poc standards and sales are recovering. Then they will cancel whatever good stuff was next to come out and put out some cheesy core character with wonking big missile launchers (yay!)
that's ok, because they'll incorporate some of the good stuff they cancel into the later waves, which you will never see because the first 2 waves will be made in massive numbers. Do i have the pattern right? |

I think it depends on how the TRU/Etailer stuff sells over the holiday season. If it does well I'm sure we'll at least see some more two and three packs. The Shipping boxes the three packs come in say wave one on them. How cool would a Three pack of Storm Shadow,Gung HO and Duke be? Maybe a Cobra pack with Stinger Driver,Cobra Officer and Laser Viper?

I hope you're kidding... I think it would be completely uncool to get ANOTHER Storm Shadow and ANOTHER Duke at a time when product is scarce, already. Why not hope for something that hasn't been done to death?

The Pack he proposes would in fact cover three stated "wants" of the Community: Getting the relatively hard to find Ultimate or Renegades Storm Shadow out there, getting us the Concept Case Gung-Ho, and getting us (presumably) an updated "Ultimate" Duke in his classic outfit (which is something several people have mentioned wanting). Ironically, it's not that likely since as far as we've seen Hasbro hasn't done up an "Ultimate" Classic Duke. If anything, we'd likely get a repack of Retaliation Ultimate Duke with a non-movie head or the PoC Duke. But don't get your hopes up for tons of new and exciting stuff on any exclusive offerings in the next year or so. A few kitbashes to make new characters and maybe a Concept Case Gung-Ho and Laser-Viper (probably packed with Sci-Fi in a two pack). |

Hopefully we will get another themed pack with vehicles + figures. Stinger driver with the cobra stinger vs cover girl in a wolverine. |

But it's doubtful such a thing would happen without a big media event to support it, and we've heard NOTHING on that front. Quote:

(I'm still shocked Hasbro didn't rerun the 85 Snake Eyes with classic headsculpt in a 2 pack with the above figure for 50th)
